optical mice

I liked the puck-style mouse that came with my G4/450 mac because my hands are small. But after a few years, it eventually started skipping around even after I cleaned the ball and the rollers. I like the Logitech optical scrollwheel mouse on my pc so I bought something similar to it for my mac. I went to CompUSA first to compare mice visually because for me, size IS important. Of course, I bought it at Amazon because the prices are so much better here. The Kensington Iridio optical three button scrollwheel fits the bill. It's smaller than the average mouse so it fits my hand, ready to go for the mac and I like that clicking the scrollwheel makes a link open in a tab in Safari. I also have the option to create my own default settings for clicking buttons by using the enclosed software. Plus, it really is quite attractive and matches the look of my graphite mac.

I just recently bought this mouse and I think its great. They give you two ways to connect it to your computer, by either USB port or PS/2 mouse port. Installation was a snap using their software. I had it working in seconds and I'm not computer literate. This item also shipped really fast. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt the cords are a little too short. I ended up taking both cords and connecting them together. Overall its a great product with a fantastic price.
