Mouse talk, best mouse for Macs
April 3, 2007 in Technology by LwEEs
For Mac users getting used to the mouse that comes with our computers is kind of not an easy task, most of us just buy a new mouse and keep the Apple mouse just for emergencies. I don’t use an Apple mouse at all, I find it not so mighty, I guess is because ergonomics. Instead I’m using my old pc mouse, a Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 with Mac drivers available at www.microsoft.com/mac.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m a hardcore Mac user but this little mouse been with me like for 3 years now, I got if for 14.99 on a discount table at Staples. Wireless and reliable, the battery consumption is not that bad, after a couple months with it I got some Ni-MH batteries that last approximately 3 months between charge. The mouse has the two regular button on top a directional/scroll well with an integrated 3rd button, and two buttons on the side which can be programmed for many uses.
But that is just one option, there are plenty of mouse from different companies that delivers incredible results. Some will say that Logitech have the best range in computer mouse available, some of their desktop mouse have all the same characteristics as the Microsoft one that I have. Logitech has cordless mice, notebooks mice, trackballs, and gaming mice. The best of all is that reviews on technology sites mark them all as the best in the industry, but they are not for everybody. Some other brands available are Genius, Tekia, and Aries; they are not as great as the other top mentioned but for the price some can give you a great experience.
Whatever is your choice remember that a healthy mouse translate to great computing experience. Get wireless whenever possible, go optical and you can be sure to have the best experience possible. Maintain it on a soft area like a mouse pad, not on top of the desk as that can be unproductive. If wireless check the frequency if you are having problems, some other wireless equipment can be a problem. Also, be nice to our environment, get rechargeable batteries.
The last tip is do a research and compare all specs, go to the nearest tech store and touch them, everybody’s hands are different. Get more news, tips and tricks at www.lumencreativegroup.com. Thanks.
