Which Cordless / Wireless Mouse is Worth Buying?

Are you thinking about buying a cordless mouse but don't really know where to begin? If you haven't used one before, you might not know if some are better than others or what to even look for to make sure that you're getting one that's worth buying. Here is an overview of some of the top cordless mouse options on the market today; it should help with your decision making process.

According to a review by CNET (found online at http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/logitech-mx1000-laser-cordless/4505-3148_7-31095326.html), this cordless mouse:

• Is the latest greatest thing in terms of cutting edge technology applied to the wireless computer mouse
• Is 20 times more sensitive than a standard LED and so can read the screen more finely and therefore work more effectively than its counterparts
• Has "phenomenal" battery power
• Is somewhat large in size, which tends to be its only major drawback

According to a review in Everything USB (found online at http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_g7_laser_cordless_mouse.html), this cordless mouse:

• Has wireless performance that is "awesome"
• Has battery power that is also awesome
• Is annoying because it has only one thumb button

Oh, and it has a really cool design.

According to ZDNet Review (found here: http://review.zdnet.com/mice/fellowes-hd-precision-cordless/4505-3148_16-31232226.html), this cordless mouse:

• Has five buttons and a scrolling wheel
• Is pricier than comparable items on the market

That doesn't say much but other user reports add that it has excellent maneuverability.

This mouse is a wireless mouse that offers more than just your average wireless mouse. What it offers is Bluetooth capability, so it might be the cordless mouse of choice for those people with a BlueTooth fetish. It has a smoothly scrolling tilt wheel, well-placed navigation buttons and a large, but light design.

If you really want to get on the cutting edge of technology ... or if you just have to have the latest gadgets, you might want to check out the new wireless pen mouse that was recently shown off at the Computex 2007 convention. It's really more for graphic designers and computer professionals than just for the average user, but it's not a bad toy to play with if you're looking into getting the latest thing.
