What's the score with these fucking things then?
Last one I binned, got a normal cheap thing that double clicked all the time, not a decent microsoft optical thing.
What causes stuttering with these?
No ball etc to get covered in crap.
Is a sheer black or white sheet/surface best for these??

Dangerous Malcolm..

I just use a standard cloth mouse mat with mine and it's spot on. I've got a wireless optical one.

Been using a logitech mx1000 here for about a year now, its the best mouse ive ever had/ used, nice and smooth, sensitive so i dont have to physically move the mouse much for the cursor to move from one side of the screen to the other, its never missed a beat.
To top it off its rechargable aswell so it never needs batterys, just stick it on the dock for about 2hours every 3-6 days depending on how much you use it

You can't beat a Mighty Mouse - unless you're saddled with one of those nasty PCs

BM08

yeah you can adjust it with any mouse but there still not as responsive as this(or other decent mice)

its the quality of the optic. They have "movement dpi" ratings. the higher the better to reduce stuttering. (i never go lower than 1500 as i like accuracy for photoshop!)
wireless mice can also stutter more than wired mice due to transfer rates.

all relative to the amount of wedge you spend!

Yes, give yourself a treat.

This is a Logitech something or other.
Other thing is you can't change speeds motion etc in properties, so moving it a millimetre is enough to go from one side of screen to the other

I'm on my second - Found the wireless one wasn't very good (same as the one above somewhere in this thread), so went to the wired version and that is spot on

danneth

microsoft ones are far from the best lol, mx518 imo

i have a logitec laser mouse

and it fuckin rocks, have not found any suraface apart from clear glass that it does not work on

Mr.T

i had a complete microsoft kit. Mouse and keybord. I binned them the same they. It was a disaster. Now i got a cheapy Trust kit. Works perfect

BM08

Dont have that problem with mine, i can move the cursor as little or as much as like, its extremely sensitive, and it works on my wood table top so no need for a huge mouse mat taking up all my table space The MX1000 really does do everything very well

BM08

I had a microsoft wireless keyboard, it was crap, it wouldnt even work properly 1 foot from the sensor thing

Fezza

I own the MX1000 laser mouse (wireless and optical)

I find it stutters under a couple of instances...including low batteries andthe mouse being too far from the wireless reciever (mine stutters if the reciever is more than a meter away...)

Also, I have found that cloth mousemats or frosted glass mousemats have worked best.

BM08

Mine doesnt do that, i have no reason to sit more than a few meters away from the pc when i use it anyway and mine works fantastic on a shiney wood table top.

Still the best mouse I have used to date is the apple mighty mouse. Nicest movement and accuracy, nice "buttonless" buttons, the scroll wheel (well, more of a nipple really lol) is SOOOOOOOO much nicer than ANY pc scroll wheel mouse.... The only annoying thing is the new version as "buttons" (pressure sensitive area's, not really buttons) on the sides and if you haven't used one of those before, you spend all your time accidentally touching them with your thumb or 4th finger......

But still the nicest mouse ever. And it fits so snugly in your hand too.......

Being that it will either be Bluetooth or RF frequency, distance at anything inside 10m won't make a difference. It's not line of sight like IR. The only thing that can comprimise the signal quality is interference from other devices and EMI. Such as wifi routers (yours or other peoples), other RF gear like TV signals and other RF controllers, microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc, etc. EMI from TV's is also a common one.

I have a wireless (RF) keyboard with track pad that I use downstairs for my media PC, and that works EVERYWHERE. On the sofa 10ft away, in the kitchen through walls, out in the garden - not a problem....

I like my Logitech G7

Ginge !

i got a wireless keyboard but has a stupid mouse pad built into it, it works in every room of my house though, i got 1 pc connected to 5 minitors in my house !!!, if i could find a wireless connection monitor im sure i could use it out in the car when working on it too !!!

Dangerous Malcolm..

I had one of them for about a month, it cost a ruddy fortune too. I didn't like it one bit and in the end I got that pissed off with it I threw it at the wall.

One thing I will say is although the case was damaged it still worked afterwards, so they're tough little things.

I'll re-phrase...

"Microsoft wired optical mice are the best! End of."


I hate all wireless keyboards/mice

danneth

even re-wording it doesn't make it any more true
