Title: New toy
Post by: Den on Aug 27, 2011, 21:08:05
I was fed up with my wireless mouse so today I bought one of these.

I tried it out at PC World and could not resist buying it and I am so glad I did (even though it cost so much) as it performs so much better than my previous one. (It looks great as well).  ;D

It's certainly easy on the hand and looks great as well.  :D

Looks great  :thumb: but I would worry that things that bend will eventually break...I would loose that magnetic dongle that sticks underneath it knowing me  ;) No back and forward buttons for the browser is something I would miss, but it does look good great, if you are travelling it looks like it slips into a pocket easily, pretty clever for a mobile mouse design.

Looks good. I always think it's worth spending a bit of money on a good keyboard and mouse as after all it's your main interface with the pc.

Looks good Den.

I have a 9 year old Microsoft Optical mouse thats still going strong.

I am tempted to buy one of their basic keybpards as the stuff is incredibly well made.

The basic Microsoft kit is great. I love their basic mouses.

I can recommend their keyboards, Mitch. They've got a good feel to them with just the right amount of resistance and travel in the keys.
