Wireless mice

[Mr.Clark]

My Logitech something-or-other feels a bit long in the tooth now, and I'm thinking that wireless tech is probably a lot better than last time I played with it (over 10 years ago).

I'm thinking about the Microsoft Arc or Arc Touch mouse, because they look pretty slick, but was wondering if anyone had any brilliant ideas about wireless mice.

Also, the Apple Magic Mouse looks nice, but I don't know if it's any good on Windows.

I've been with my trusty MX518 for probably 10 years as well!

Out of curiosity I looked up my order...

It is still going strong and works great. Save your money and stick with it IMO

Logitech Performance MX.

No finer mouse is available. Utterly immense, and worth every damn penny.

[kingweed]

Holy crap thats £70!

wow i'm out of date, I wouldn't spend that money on a mouse these days!

[Ekona]

Why?

The thing you spend more time interacting with than anything on a computer is the mouse. Why would you not get the best one you possibly could? Same applies to the keyboard, too.

Don't buy an Arc. I did and it's shit.

Do buy an Arc Touch, I use one on my gaming PC (which is no longer used for games). I have done a few product labels on that PC in Illustrator using that mouse and I find the precision to be very acceptable for a mouse in that price range.

Also props to the Apple Magic Mouse, thats what I use on my Macbook Pro which is where I do the majority of my Photoshop and Illustrator work and its excellent. Works pretty well on Windows too.

The thing that you interact with most is the screen. And I bet you haven't got the best one that you possibly could

[Ekona]

I very rarely touch my screen

[kingweed]

Guess that is a valid point.

Had a quick look on logitechs website most of their gaming stuff is priced similarly.

Didn't realise that top end mice were so expensive these days. Glad I won't have to buy one any time soon.

[Ekona]

I'm glad I don't have to do it that often!

Holy crap thats £70!

Where do you go shopping?

£42.85 with Prime delivery.

Kind of tempted, actually. It's basically free, since I got £56 in Amazon vouchers for recycling my Nexus 4 with O2

Don't buy an Arc.

Do buy an Arc Touch

D'oh!

Also props to the Apple Magic Mouse, thats what I use on my Macbook Pro which is where I do the majority of my Photoshop and Illustrator work and its excellent. Works pretty well on Windows too.

Does it do the touchpad thing without too much fiddling?

[Ekona]

£43 is an utter bargain for that mouse. Do it!

[kingweed]

I just looked on the logitech website, didn't bother hunting around for it!

£44 is not to shabby for a good one, I'd pay that instantly if I was in the market for one.

I have a Logitech G700s. It's nice. Wireless, but you can also plug it in if the battery is flat.
