Choosing a great wireless mouse

When it comes to choosing a mouse for your computer, why not go wireless?In this day and age, choosing a great wireless mouse can be simple.

First ask yourself what you are going to be using the mouse for.Most mice can be used for any purpose, however in saying that there are some out there that are ergonomically designed for smaller hands, or for those who spend multiple hours on their computer playing games.So naturally choosing a great wireless mouse will largely depend on what you are using it for.Microsoft, for example makes a wireless laser mouse (Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000) which is great for "zipping" across your desk without having to lift it up again and again.The movement of the curser is extremely smooth.Operating at 6000 frames per second at 1000 dpi resolution allows the mouse to capture 1000 pixels in just an inch of movement.It then relays this information 6000 times a second.Now that's fast!The natural wireless laser mouse 6000 uses a chip size less than 18 microns beating out many of its competitors.This allows Microsoft users to get the most out of the battery life.One drawback to this wireless mouse is that the mouse wheel has no ratchet, making it a nightmare for those avid gamers.But if you are looking to choose a great wireless mouse for document and webpage scrolling, this would be a good choice.

Now that we've found a mouse that is great for webpage scrolling, let's look at ones that are great for all you avid gamers out there.

What about all the people out there that only use laptops or notebooks?I haven't forgotten about you.There are wireless mice out there for you too.They are called "mini wireless mice."One developer, Manaccom has made a USB mini wireless optical mouse.It's compact, rechargeable, has a wireless receiver eject button, and wireless receiver storage.This device will save you space and is easily portable for traveling convenience.It has a built in compartment to store the wireless receiver and USB recharge cable, and is suited to fit both left and right handed people.With just one touch of a button the receiver is ejected from the storage compartment.Kensington also has a mini wireless pocket mouse.It has a battery saving on/off switch that may save you some extra money because you're not replacing batteries so much.It's also easy to pack and carry when traveling, tracks with precision on almost any surface, has a USB connector, and comes with a one year warranty.These mini wireless mice may also be more appealing to women because of their small design.

Let's lastly take a look at wireless mice for those of you who are turned off by having to replace batteries because you use your mouse so much, there is something new out there that you may want to test out.It's called "A4Tech Battery Free Wireless Mouse."You heard right, "battery free!"The A4Tech gets its charge from the mouse pad, thus eliminating the need for batteries.The secret behind this mouse is obviously the pad (that needs to be purchase with the mouse) by use of induction.It is smaller than most wireless mice, and cannot be used anywhere else except with the pad.But it might be worth it for you?

Whatever wireless mouse you choose to go with is up to you.Just make sure you know what and where you will be using it.
