Got a wireless mouse.......

Got a wireless mouse for my HP win 10 laptop today, the receiver is so tiny (which I like) and it stores inside the mouse, when not in use. It also matches perfectly, red & black. I mostly bought it for my Grandson to play Oblivion, think it makes the fighting easier but I think I'll be using it for my games too.

PS, it also has an on/off switch to save battery life.

Have fun TLC.

I have a Logitech "couch mouse" that is like that - I love it!

Thanks Cathy1.

Draclvr, I don't think I saw that one at Amazon. I picked this one because it matches the laptop.

I don't think Logitech calls it the "couch mouse" any more. It was supposed to be perfect for using a mouse on your furniture. I would have gotten one to match the laptop too!

Now I'm trying to decide if I should get one for my mac too, but of course 1 made by Apple.

A wireless mouse is useless, unless you need to do business presentations from 15 feet away. Be sure to keep a supply of batteries on hand. I'm more into ergonomics. This is what I use:

I hope the link works.It's the 3M Ergo Mouse. It takes some getting used to, but once you do, nothing else will do.

My wireless mouse is still using the same batteries I put in it a year ago - and I use it heavily. Supposed it depends on what kind you get, but I wouldn't be without mine. When using my tablet, the wireless mouse is invaluable.

I use a wired Razer Death Adder for gaming and wouldn't part with it. It's old, but I hope it keeps on working forever.

I tried out an ergonomic mouse like yours at a store once and really, really disliked it. Like you say, you probably have to get used to it, but it was just too unnatural for me and I could tell it would not do at all for heavy duty gaming.

I wanted wireless, because I have enough cords, don't want another cord, just for a mouse.

I know what you mean, TLC! I have enough problems keeping the wire jungle organized! I love my wireless mouse.

That's a great term for it, "wire jungle".

My mouse , currently : Amazon I have 3 other mice , all wired . I had a Razer Mamba . Used it wireless , then plugged in . The battery life was utterly horrible . Back in the day , I had a Microsoft wireless mouse 6000 , replaced batteries maybe 3 times a year .

yes I have one to but I have to remember to switch it off and stop putting it in a drawer, which causes a big search anyway I can always use my touch screen I can play most of my games with my touch screen

My first computer came with a wireless mouse and I didn't like it. It seemed I changed the batteries every other day. Got me a wired mouse and never looked back.

I remember my first wireless mouse - I always seemed like I had to put batteries in it every other day too! I think they have come a long way since then... this Couch Mouse from Logitech has been going for a year now with the same batteries. It automatically shuts off if I don't use it. That probably helps as I would never remember to do it!
