VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

Wireless Mouse!

In just a matter of hours, as the battery wanes, you'll have no trouble having trouble finding the cursor!

In mere moments you'll be dancing around the window ledge!

Every second will be filled with incredible! unprecedented! frustration and madness!

Perfect for editing!
Wonderful for writing!
Incredible for desktop use!

Look for the amazingly annoying, fantastically frustrating, hugely hellish wireless mouse at electronics stores everywhere!

Mine must shut off when not in use or something...don't they all do that? Mine's been "on" for a week (that's when I got it) and so far no troubles.

I just don't use wireless mice and keyboards. Dealt with too many of them at client sites to evah have the desire to use them. Sure, they're stylish... But that's about it.

(yay! I'm getting sassy!)

I'm not a fan of them either...this is my first set...a Bluetooth combo from Rocketfish that I got so that I could have them in the booth.

I haven't used wireless mice ever... you can't use them on airplanes, and I heard the battery usage was outrageous. So, I buy usb mice with retractable cords...

Other than Kensington, I'm not a huge fan of wireless keyboards or mice.

In or near recording equipment? Not at all.

I started using Apple wireless keyboards and mice with my Macs a couple of years ago and have been perfectly happy with them.

This has been especially helpful with my studio. I keep the PowerBook outside the window and control it with the wireless keyboard and mouse from the inside. Very handy.

Wired mice just irritate me now.

I use a wireless mouse on my laptop. No problems. When I get done, I pull the USB receiver out of the laptop and clip it on to the bottom of the mouse. This turns the mouse off, so there's no battery drain. I used to have a wired USB travel-mouse (with the short cord)...but hated the cord getting in the way. I despise those touch pads. Not very handy for anything.

Track pads give me hand cramps.
I have always used a mouse, wired or un- with my laptop.

I love my Kensington wired mouse. Yes, the USB plug gets in the way, but it doesn't flip out like like wirless mouse occasionally does.

I've got a one-button Mac mouse that I just love, but I loves me 2-button functions so much, I'll withstandinate the USB plug.

tony--you do man.

okay i'll reel it in. sure, i use a wireless mouse for laptop edit jobs, such as what awaits me as i write from dixie (utah's name for, uh, southern utah)

but really they suck from me the will to live when the battery power is not 100%. and fer heck's sake it's a LONG way down the stairs to the charger where i, too, keep some warming (todd).

but methinks me likey the wired mouse for my permanent installation, despite the cables that get tangled in my hair.
