Subject: Wireless Mice
Anyone else using a wireless mouse? My son installed one on our
computer. I have mixed feelings. When it is good it is very, very
good. When it is bad, it sucks.
For the most part, it is nice to be free of wires. This one is radio,
not infra-red. Not bad, until it runs out of juice when you are doing
something important. Don't forget to put it in it's docking station
to recharge.
If you don't put it in the docking station with care, it calls up a
help window. That is a pain, since the screen saver and monitor shut
off don't seem to want to work while the help window is open. A
little care prevents this, but what a pain.
The up side is that you can re-arrange your gaming hardware
configuration to suit your tastes without worrying about the mouse
cable. This wireless stuff may be rather nice once the bugs are
worked out.
