A cheap wired USB mouse. I think I'm using a $10 Microsoft two-button and wheel mouse.
Wireless mice need batteries, and half the ones I have used have bad drivers or janky bluetooth/rf links, so it's just not worthwhile.
- eb0la 9y agoI was very lucky with the Logitech M555B (bluetooth) mouse. I always used rechargables, which meant I had to replace batteries every 2-3 weeks; but it was a great mouse for me. I didn't wanted wireless mice that needed their own USB port for the receiver. I guess they hava a more reliable connection, but since I already had bluetooth headphones I don't want more devices near using the same frequency with different protocols.
- pasbesoin 9y agoSame. An instance where Microsoft hardware peripherals excel -- or still did, the last time I bought one. I don't need a bazillion buttons. I have two units, purchased a year or a few apart. Very comfortable to hold, click. Clear, perceptive registration upon click. Comfortable wheel scrolling. Similar to how some Microsoft keyboards are -- or once were -- well regarded, in particular some of their ergonomic models. Wireless (of various forms) peripherals keep having security issues. And then I remember a meeting a few months ago where the fellow's mouse's battery had died, and things got a bit panicked until he managed to find and dig out his old wired mouse.
