Wireless mouse recommendations

[NeoStarO1]

Hello everyone.

I currently got this cheap wireless mouse several months ago and I HATE the dang thing. It looses its "connection" often and I got to switch the usb thingy all the time. It seems to "reset' when i do it. but heres the thing, it seems rather loose in the usb port connection.

So I am in the market for a new wireless mouse and wonder if anyones got any recommendations for me. I plan to purchase through newegg. I'd like one that the wireless connection in the usb port would fit much tigher, tight like a usb flash drive.

I don't care much for brands as I get used to them easy but need a scroll wheel.

Thanks.

I would recommend you look at Microsoft mouses (they seem to have great hardware and great drivers). Stay far away from logitech unless you like dealing with super buggy drivers and a lot of headaches.

I bought the MX Revolution a while ago and regret it. Looks nice and feels nice but it does not work for what I need with the default drivers and the old drivers that came with it are buggy and the newest drivers don't even recognize the thing!

I've always liked the wireless Microsoft Optical Mouse 5000 (Intellimouse). We have three of them in this house and they work flawlessly.

Really Ex?
I have two MX Revolutions and a VX Revolution and love them all and have had no problems. I was actually going to suggest those mice depending on the type of usage.

Seems it would be a cool one. you can even store the usb underside of mouse when not in use, and battery tray slides out rather than on bottom.

That's a cool one. Never seen one that holds the receiver in it. Good idea if your mouse sits for extended periods without any use.

okay let me clarify something, has to be usb wireless, a true wireless one as I am using this for my laptop. its hard to use the touch pad in photoshop with a touch pad.

which mine does when not in use. So that would be a nice feature. not only that i won't loose the little stick. So that is just a bonus. seems they say its has a longer battery life too.

I still like the logitech mice that I have

The MX Revolution is a little larger but has a docking station that charges the batteries. I also love the second scroll wheel. I have it set to flip between open files when in Photoshop.

The VX Revolution is smaller (made as a travel version of the MX Revolution). It does not have rechargeable batteries but they last quite a while. The USB receiver fits into the mouse when not being used. It does not have a second scroll wheel but it does have a zoom slider which is nice.

As for the drivers: I have not had any issues and actually find it quite easy to customize all of the buttons depending on the program you are using.

Oh, also the scroll wheel has a free-spinning mode. The VX Revolution you have to manually switch it from click to free spinning and the MX automatically switches based on program and usage. It's pretty nice.

I rather like logitech myself. More buttons and more customization. You can use a generic driver as well.
