Which Mouse for 9300? - Page 3

post #41 of 64

I use the kensington pocket pro wireless mouse, offered by dell.com
The silver and black match the 9200/9300,
The reciever stows away inside the mouse,
and it is small enough to be mobile with out being "miniture" and hard to use.

*edit*

oh and it turns off when you put the reciever back into the mouse, so you dont have to burn through batteries when your not using it.

I use my MX900 mouse and my SE S700 phone at the same time via BT with no hassles.

Here's the one I use:

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse

It's the best microsoft notebook mouse. You can also qualify for a $10 rebate, bringing it to $20.

The USB adapter plugs into the bottom of the base and it's very portable.

Yeah, I have to second the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse. It's RF wireless (via USB). Has good battery life (one (1) AAA battery), no lag that I've experienced (UT2004, Doom3, HL2, etc), and feels GOOD even with big hands (hands are 9 inches long). The USB piece fits in the bottom of the mouse when not in use (turns mouse off too).

Although I'm sure the MX1000 would destroy this mouse, it's half the price and works well. My only grip is the resolution is only 800 DPI. At 1024x768 that's not a problem, but up in 1920x1200 it's not as smooth. Although most mice would be like this.

Any mice with high DPI? 1600 DPI? 2000 DPI?

I want a bluetooth version of the mx1000, I figure that its only a matter of time before they release one of these.

I was very dissapointed with the MS Wireless notebook mouse.

My optical litmus test is how it works on our granite countertops. The MS mouse was terrible. Very unresponsive and skippy. I was convinced it failed the countertop test till I tried it on other surfaces. While it tracked on other surfaces it was much slower than the Logitech V500. The V500 is more comfortable too. Wish the V500 had a real scroll wheel, but the most important thing is good tracking and responsiveness.

Again, I don't mind replacing batteries. An on/off switch would be great. Bluetooth rather than RF sounds like the deal for those with an internal Bluetooth card.

Any other thoughts?

So with the Logitech MX900 you don't have to use the wired reciever if you have BT in your laptop already? Any special thing to get the BT to recognize the mouse?

Thats right jr, all you need to do is pair it once with the laptop using the dell bt software and you'll be clicking with all buttons.

I notice that the MX900 by Logitech uses rechargable AA batteries. Can you use regular AA alkaline batteries and not mess with the charger?

Of course - but I have a stack of 2500mah AA energisers with a 1 hour charger for my camera and remotes etc so there's always a couple of long-life charged batteries floating around if the led on top starts blinking red, and sometimes I just pop the mouse in its cradle overnight when I remember to do it.

Does using a BT mouse with the internal module knock battery life down substantially?

Since you have both could you see if the MX-1000 mouse would work with the V500 transmitter plugged into you USB?

I can pretty much guarantee they won't work together.

The MX1000 has faster response time than the V500 and must run at a different refresh frequency. If you were a better gamer than me you would probably find the V500 insufficient...doesn't refresh often enough.

Yea, but for traveling and mobile computing, carrying the MX1000 & its base around isn't such a good idea...

I still love my V500...

I dont think the wireless link would be paying any attention to the refresh rate of the mouse - it will either work perfectly or it wont work at all.

I'm not really interested in you retards speculating on things you know nothing about. I need someone to try this. The V500 is an elegant design but not very good for gaming do to the touch sensitive scroll wheel and two button design.

Everytime I think I should pity a nerd, one makes a comment like that and I remember that they deserve all the abuse they get.
