My current gigabyte wired mouse is playing up. I am tempted to go wireless, it is for work, not gaming. I don't have small hands either. What do you lot use? Any recommendations? |

I've always liked Logitech ones, I like a free-spinning scroll wheel myself rather than the notched kind. |

Logitech are good, but I'd only go wireless if you have a really good reason to. |

I think this would be the current equivalent of the one I've had for the last four years or so: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-M560-W ... words=m560 |

I have two of these, which I like a lot. http://mobile.logitech.com/en-gb/produc ... e-mouse-mx However they annoyingly won't track on my new Ikea desk's glossy white surface, so I'm using a mouse pad like a caveman. |

I have the same mouse as Gaywood and it's ace. There's a little button on it which changes the wheel from a notched wheel to a freewheeling wheel. |

You say that like it's a good thing. All it does is make me thing "eugh, it's not notchy any more"*. DavPaz wrote: Do you rinse those? Christ no. If I took them somewhere to rinse them I might as well put them in the bin instead, right? There's quite a few more, now. * insert Minecraft joke here |

The battery light on mine is usually on for about a month before I actually bother changing them, which is usually about once or twice a year or something. |

I was answering this. KovacsC wrote: What do you lot use? Remarkably, I am able to use a "gaming" mouse for tasks other than gaming. It's the most comfortable mouse I've ever used. For my laptop I use a HP X4000b, which has the advantage of being bluetooth rather than proprietary wireless, so no dongle is required. I pair it up with a set of these so I don't have to worry about carrying a charger or spare batteries everywhere I take my laptop. |

I'm only going by experience - high sensitivity mice where all you move is fingers ot wrists = high tension and pain. Low sensitivity mice that force you to move your entire arm = Easier movement with a larger target and no pain. |
