| 378272 | 2005-08-04 18:46:00 | funny how peoples experiences are different......i must say 'bobdoe' i would reccomend an A4tech mouse as a very cheap and yet good device indeed the one i have attached to this puter has been workin currently for approx 18 mnths quite happily indeed........perhaps its too scared of being fed to my large cat ? | drcspy (146) | ||
| 378273 | 2005-08-04 20:59:00 | In my time, I had the orinal PC Company balled mouse (still going after 3+ years) though only used when required, I also have an MS Optical Blue mouse (2 years, no hassles), and a mini optical mouse for my laptop (bought from Warehouse Stationary - can't remember brand sorry). My partner has a Logitech wireless (balled) mouse/keyboard set which is about 2 years old as well, and still going well (despite the keyboard taking flying lessons lol) |

| 378274 | 2005-08-04 21:21:00 | I also have a MX500 which I am very happy with. However with the cheaper Genius, A4Tech etc - they ARE cheap so if it doesn't last ages, so what, you buy another one. My workshop systems use cheapy mice. Doing ok so far... My son has a DSE optical mouse which is still happy after 2 years. |

| 378275 | 2005-08-05 01:36:00 | Was it your arm and leg? (seems a bit steep) :p Yeah, defintely. I negotiated them down too. They initially wanted an arm, a leg and a left appendicle, and, I went there because they were cheaper, right :waughh: Needless to say, I passed on the mouse/keyboard combo. Yours sincerely Hoppy PS. On the bright side, parking is now a breeze except for the odd 4x4 in my spot(s), bus and train fares are subsidised and there's no wasted effort getting a leg over. |

We always knew you were an 'armless sort of bloke, and suspected also that you got legless quite often. At least its now proven, and you had the balls to make the deal. |

I'll have you know that I have at least one of everything . Getting a bit short of spares for some, though :horrified As for my, alleged, consumption of alcohilc beverages, I never touch a drop of the stuff . Nor do I leave one once the bottle has been opened hic! :waughh: Never have had, or felt the need, to prove the efficacy of my gonads Goddie :thumbs: |

| 378278 | 2005-08-05 05:37:00 | after throwing my Logitech Di-Novo bluetooth (or should that be (toothless) keyboard mouse combo over the counter at HNorman (I also paid an arm/leg/appendicle but still had enough balance left to hit the spot) I purchased an MX 1000 laser, so far so goodie goodie... the best mouse I've ever had, very precise without being finicky and love the scroll options. I may use the balance of the money from the k/board to buy a left neuticle :-) |

| 378280 | 2005-08-06 03:56:00 | Well thanks everyone. I ended up getting a Genius Netscroll + Optical that has 800dpi, whatever that means. And a lot of extra gadgety buttuns :) Got it from ascent for $26 and free shipping |
