You were robbed Sam. I only paid £2.50 for mine from Tesco's. It's absolute crap but because the pointer constantly goes walkabout all over the screen. I could have had two for £1. :D

Title: Re: What kind of mouse are you using
Post by: Sandra on February 14, 2007, 00:17: I use a Q-Tec wireless rechargeable optical mouse, cheap reliable and accurate but only 2 buttons and a scroll wheel, on this pc but a wired Typhoon Office optical mouse with 5 buttons and a scroll wheel on my new pc or if I am building or repairing/upgrading a pc.

About 6 months ago I bough a Tevion 10 programmable button with scroll wheelwirless laser rechargeable mouse for about £16 from Aldi but havent taken it out of its box yet.

Thought it was a good price for a spare and its also a laser one for greater speed and accuracy :)

Post by: mistybear on February 14, 2007, 07:55: I have the one that came with my Medion 8383, and Michael has a Logitech Mx 518 Gaming mouse, which I bought for $50 at K-Mart (normally $99) and I haven't seen a better price since.
Mind you the first one had to be returned as something didn't work on it, but the replacement has been fine.
Title: Re: What kind of mouse are you using
Post by: Michelle on February 14, 2007, 08:03: I got a new one about a month ago. Can't remember how much but I just looked and its at £14.99

I'm using the Medion 8383 one as well, MB, but as I am fed up with it eating batteries I have just bought myself the Logitech MX1000 which comes with charger.

I bought rechargeable batteries, as I'm fed up with constantly running out of AA batteries, which are used in so many things around the house.
Don't you just love Logitech peripherals, Michael also has a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard, which is backlit and looks beautiful. And we both have Logitech speakers. ;D

This is a much better model.
