Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my poor mouse has finally died. It had a good long life though. I guess as long as any typical mouse. A few years, well, maybe four.
You see, it got a crimp in it's tail, and that really shortened it's lifespan.
It sure makes navigation difficult. I guess I need to get a wireless one this time.

Make sure you get an optical one and try them in your hand before buying. Some mice are very big and cumbersome, in fact I once saw a "rat" which some bright spark designer thought would be a great idea. Unfortunately you would have to have hands like Muhammad Ali to use it!

Lol, that is hilarious! The kind I get usually come in that terrible clear plastic that cuts you as you try to open it, so I will just "look" for a small one.

Get a decent one. First wireless I bought ate batteries. This one I change battery once every six months or so.

Kids have wireless, they do need batteries often...

@cindiowens My trick for the wireless was to take the batteries out and reverse their positions. That would give it a kick for a little bit longer, and then I would do it again.

@cindiowens Yes, optical + wireless is the best. No need for a mouse pad with optical, any surface will work, even the arm of a sofa.

@EugenesDDen I do hate trying to find a surface that they will work on. Sounds like a great idea.

I used mine until it just wouldn't work any more. I wiggled the wires as long as I could, but no more life in it.

It is not the kind with the rubber ball. It has, or rather had, a red laser light.

It has taken a lot of abuse. Four people using it for that long....Hope the computer keeps up.
