Re: [Hardware] which mouse?

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Went to a large consumer electronics store and played
with the mice they had on display, ending up with a
Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse (USB/PS2)

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=008

Personally, I find it a slight bit too light in terms of wheight
as I´d been used to have to push around that ball inside my
standard 3button Logitech mouse but otherwise it´s o.k,
the best one I could find with a wheel (searched for one
without a wheel , thought).

Cheers

tim
