Wired mouse shopping ideas

[GodLovesCats]

The last time I got a new mouse I had to choose one that was not on display for me to hold. It is bigger than I wanted, but all of the small mice were wireless. The most important feature for me is a cord. Without one, it is guaranteed I will have to change the batteries. I had a wireless mouse that died suddenly without warning when I was in the middle of something three times, all in thev same year, with new batteries. It seems almost no wired mice can be held in stores. I need to hold wired mice in stores to know if they are comfortable for my small hand. What is a good way to make sure I can comfortably hold a wired mouse?

Buy them online from a store you can return to, like Walmart or Amazon. Amazon will also allow returns to Kohls stores too, if you have one near you.

I suggest the Logitech G203 https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Pro...keywords=g203&qid=1556131628&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I have the "G Pro" which has an identical shape but has a better sensor for gaming and better buttons. I think it's a good shape, is considered "small" and is wired. One issue with mine is the right click has became light meaning it clicks too easily sometimes.

Tbh I don't think there's much noticeable difference between my mouse and the G203.

It's a gaming mouse so as far as I know they consider different hand types and sizes when the design they mouse. A major downside is they're more expensive than a standard mouse.

My current mouse is the first laser one I can remember and way too sensitive. It scrolls when I just move my hand to adjust the hold. So I am going back to optical mice. I don't play games.

My advice is to go to a computer shop and look around for a while. Don’t hesitate to ask questions either. Ask for advice.

Ah ok, you can change the dpi on the g203 and it is optical as far as I know. I can't really think of any others to suggest

Thank you.

I'm not a gamer either, and I'm using an optical mouse. It's not big, just nice for a girl's hand to hold, and it's quiet. Though it may not be wired, but Logitech is a pretty reliable brand. I have been using this brand for a long time and most of the mouse that I used lasted for at least 3 years or longer. Since you don't play game, get one that is sleek and simple.

This is the one I'm using now. (You can get a higher model of this)

Generally the really cheap ones tend to be reasonably sized. The cheapest Microsoft and Logitech ones tend to be comfortable for most hand sizes (I get these for school computer labs).

Two votes for Logitech so far. I will check out that brand.

The logitech mx series has a serious design problem. Not sure if it expands to their other series. They all develop a spring issue where it double clicks instead of single click.

I use the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 4000 series now and it works excellent. The only thing I miss from the Logitech is the free scroll (you can scroll 1000s of lines of text easily).

I actually miss the days when no mice had scroll wheels. Many mouse reviewers unfairly rate mice low for no other reason except the wheel, which I never use anyway.
