I finally got a new mouse!

After weeks, maybe even months of not being able to double or single click when I wanted, being unable to copy and past easily and, most annoyingly, not being able to play a shooter worth a damn... I GOT A NEW MOUSE!

I didn't do a whole lot of research, because I was going to have to settle for what I could get my hands on anyway. I took a trip to our local "mall area". We have a Staples and an Office Max walking distance from each other. I started at Office Max but didn't really see anything that wowed me.

The mice today seemed pretty lame. They were all smallish and anything wireless looked like it was made for a laptop, not a desktop environment. I was a bit let down, but I still had Staples! I drove across the street, basically, and was greeted by a smaller selection, but better quality of mice.

I looked around and came across the newer version of the Microsoft Wireless mice. It's no laser mouse, but it'll do. I picked up a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. It has a new technology that uses a blue optical light so it is easier to use on different surfaces. They claim it is just as easy to use on natural wood, concrete and carpet as it would be on your mousepad or desk. While I haven't tried it out, the mouse works great. It also boasts an 8 month battery life, while that sounds impressive I am not sure they mean that for someone like myself who spends a good deal of time at the PC.

I am glad to be rid of my Logitech mouse. It did do it's job but it just wore down way too quickly for the price that I paid for it and the amount of time I had it. I picked up my new mouse for 30 dollars at Staples, on sale.
