Recommend me a mouse!

Post by Taipan »

I need a decent mouse for my desktop pc at work. I often have to accurately define and draw areas and the Dell ir one I currently have is crapola.

TIA

Get a small(ish) graphics tablet with pen. That's what they're for.

Trackball? More accurate and ergonomic than a mouse. Logitech make excellent trackballs.

An option if you don't get on with a tablet and pen.

Thanks. I dont get on with trackballs for some reason and don't want a pen and tablet, just a decent quality mouse. So i've bunged a request in for screwds recommendation. Hopefully, it'll get approved before I retire!

No question.
Correct answer.

I've had the v1, the v2 and now the v3. Would buy another if I lost this one.

Wouldn't discount a v2 if you needed to save money though, I still liked that one before I bought the v3.

De facto standard designer's mouse – all the features/buttons you need, works accurately on every surface, good battery life, comfortable.

There are no other 'serious' mice really.
