Of mice
and men
What sort
of mouse do you like?
When I considered this subject, I had no idea how many computer mice there are.
Mine is a silent Bluetooth optical mouse. It was preceded by a Mini Mouse, which proved annoyingly small and fiddly and had to be replaced. The men in my family prefer rolling ball mice, but I don’t like them. I know I would get used to one in time, but I prefer not to have to!
I knew about gaming mice, for which I have no need, and touchpads, which I find really irritating, though necessary at times. Otherwise, I was familiar with tethered mice and ergonomic mice. There’s an entire world of mice out there, and, like the little real-life rodents themselves, they are constantly replicating, making decisions more difficult.
My mouse frequently falls to the floor, sometimes disturbing the casing, which is soon clicked back into place. I’m not really testing it to destruction or ruggedising it, though it sometimes seems like it.
I like your caption for this post.
ReplyDeleteI've had mice in the past, tethered mostly, but my laptop has a touch pad and I prefer it after the initial hesitation and learning.
ReplyDeleteI use my touchpad. I've gotten used to it now and find a mouse a little more cumbersome to use. I like the title - I thought maybe somebody had brought a mouse into the house and it was evading you lol
ReplyDeleteMine looks like the photo, only it's black.
ReplyDeleteI have long used an Apple mouse which serves me very well.
ReplyDeleteI've used a touch pad for some time. The first few days were confusing but I'm well adjusted now (at least in this respect). 🙂 I did miss the mouse though.
