Hello my friend!

I've been using a track ball right now. I had never use any other kind of mouse since i started to use computer.

How about you? What do you use? Is there any difference with those kinds of mouse?

Share it to me and i would be glad to hear from you.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jdpartosa (2629)  5 years ago

i use to have trackball, and i needed to clean it often as it easily accumulates dusts. no i'm using optical mouse, it funcstions better and very comfortable. it's a little expensive though, but it's worth the price. :)


myLot reputation of 97/100. jencai (1699)  5 years ago

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

You have to clean the track ball all the time, to remove alot of dusts.

I think i have to try optical mouse but i have to canvass first, to know if i would be able to avail them.

Thank you for the information!

Im using an optical mouse. I had the conventional kind before but was constantly having o dismantle and clean it. Occassionally the little hole under the optica mouse will get a fluff strand and I have to blow it out but otherwise it is really receptive.My son had a wireless version but got fed up with it as he kept forgetting to replace it in the charging cradle and now he has a track ball with extra switches for his gaming.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jdpartosa (2629)  5 years ago

yes before i dismantle my moust a lot just to get rid of those dusts. it's annoying..

I'm at work right now, so I'm using a basic standard ball mouse.
At home, however, I use a Wireless Logitech Laser Mouse.
I have a laptop as well, It has one of those touchpads.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jdpartosa (2629)  5 years ago

i haven't tried wireless, is more efficient than the others?


myLot reputation of 85/100. TrevaUK (122)   ranked 339 out of 8,746 in computers  5 years ago

Wireless mouse, means freedom from wires.
We all know how annoying it is when the mouse cable get tangled with the other cables. Only disadvantage is these mouses usually are heavier because they have batteries in them. plus they need charging about once a week.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jdpartosa (2629)  5 years ago

thanks for the information. i think i'll settle with my optical mouse for now. :)

I have a Wireless logitech laser mouse too, man are they good or what. Wireless is definitely the way to go - no more tangled wires and the dog getting caught up in the spaghetti under the table! lol

I use an optical mouse, it's very comfortable and cheap.
The best features are, in respect with older mouses, the precision of movements and the fact that you don't have to clean it, it moves always as you bought it.
I also have an optical mouse for my laptop computer, it is of a second generation of optical mouses and it's also more precise.

my mouse is an optical wireless mouse, it was bundled with my wireless keyboard which i bought about 4yrs ago. the brand name is A4tech. its incredible that they are still working just fine, i just have to replace the micro switch of the mouse from time to time to fix "double clicking" problems. due to wear and tear a single click might produce a double click when the mouse button is worn off.

Mine's your typical average mouse, except that it is cordless. I love it because I don't have to keep it in one spot. The only thing I don't like is that the batteries pick the worst times to die out on me.


myLot reputation of 79/100. im2good4u (453)   ranked 600 out of 8,746 in computers  5 years ago

one more thing to add about wireless mouse is that it you accidentally push it towards the edge of your desk it falls down quickly unlike a wired mouse the wire would hold the mouse hanging preventing it from hitting the floor


myLot reputation of 96/100. jdpartosa (2629)  5 years ago

LOL to that! a falling wireless mouse! that really got me laughing, thanks!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 153 out of 8,746 in computers  5 years ago

Soooo....the wire would act like it's tail then? LOL

When my old trackball mouse died on me, I decided to buy an optical mouse. I ran to the nearest mall and find that it's quite expensive and it wasn't in my budget then so I settled again for the old reliable and cheap trackball. When my present mouse doesn't work anymore that's the time I'll buy the optical mouse. I am just being practical, who knows the price would have been cheaper by then. ;p


myLot reputation of 96/100. jdpartosa (2629)  5 years ago

i agree, it will surely be cheaper when you decide to buy. have fun 25th_Stargazer, hmmm i wonder how you got your name, :)

I'm using the optical one. I would have love to use track ball but it's way too expensive right now. I've used that several years ago and it's cool. The ball don't accumulate dust that sometimes make the mouse go crazy jerky.
I hope I can invent my own mouse someday. Wonder how it would look like LOL!
