From: adam russell on 8 Apr 2008 16:19 I was looking at mice in the store today and notice an ms mouse that was taller than the rest. Just trying the displayed one briefly, it seemed more comfortable. Has anyone tried it? How is the comfort long term? Also, how is the tracking? I once said I would never use another wireless but it seems like this one only comes as wireless, and also it seems like wired mice are going extinct.

And Duracell "A" batteries used in it last about a year of daily use. -- --DaveW "adam russell" <adamrussell(a)sbcglobal.net.invalid> wrote in message news:1207692993_79027(a)news.usenet.com... >I was looking at mice in the store today and notice an ms mouse that was >taller than the rest.

Comfort has to do with your natural mousing motions, the height of the counter it was tried on, the size of your hand, etc. It's not universally comfortable or uncomfortable, though in general these larger mice are less comfortable because they force your hand into a specific position to use them, while with a smaller mouse you can adjust hand position periodically without it interfering with manipulating the mouse much, though if the shape were right for you and it trained you to use a good position that might still be helpful. >How is the comfort long term? Also, how is >the tracking? Tracking is probably great as it is with most laser mice. >I once said I would never use another wireless but it seems >like this one only comes as wireless, and also it seems like wired >mice are going extinct. No it doesn't seem like wired mice are going extinct. They just promote higher margin products more, and many buy OEM systems that come with a wired mouse so in an effort to try to entice a purchase, wireless is one obvious feature a lower cost OEM mouse would lack. If you need wireless, modern wireless mice are much better than they used to be, but a very perceptive user and/or demanding use may make you realize there is still a minor big of lag with wireless mice. It quite overshadows the increased precision of it being laser, though still better laser than not. Ultimately on such an oddly shaped mouse you will either love it or hate it... and it seems you love it so you might as well give it a try... not like it's a marriage or anything, you can chuck it in a drawer if things don't work out, saving it as a backup mouse or of course there's always ebay to resell.
