What kind of a mouse do you use?

I just have some "random" mouse and all of a sudden, it's making me crazy! I put new batteries in it; went into my computer and messed with the mouse settings and it's a little bit better, but not good. I need a new one and am looking for suggestions. It's like a "loose cannon" if that makes any sense. It has a mind of it's own and sometimes it won't budge.

I have 3 "mice" and they are all wireless. I absolutely love them! The brand is Logitech on 2 of the 3. The other one is Onn, if I am reading it correctly. I would buy Logitech, not Onn!

I also meant to mention that sometimes they go to sleep if they haven't been moved in a while. When that happens I just click somewhere on the screen a couple of times and that usually reactivates it. If that doesn't work, just flip the on/off switch.

any mouse i use has to be at least a 5 button mouse. few years ago by request logitech brought back the super popular mx518 so thats my current one on desktop. I did have the original way back when too. My laptop has a wireless logitech mouse g - 602 . the wireless one is no long available but think the 518 is.

I should probably try the Logitech, then. I have a wireless mouse, but it just lags and sometimes won't even move. Grrrrrrrrr

I'm going to try turning it off and back on. I did unplug and replugged into into the side of my laptop, but didn't think of turning it off. Thanks for that idea.

You are all convincing me to get a Logitech - Vicky @vickyday also recommended that. I'm going to look on Amazon right now. Thanks to you both for that suggestion.

wireless Logitech - black with neon yellow bottom and wheel. One of those funky ones that come with a matching keyboard and are marketed for teens - given to me for Xmas by my teenage son, lol... the whole thing was rather cheap, but it's cute and does the job so I'm happy. :)

I use a wireless mouse, nothing special, it´s from Microsoft. It´s small like my hand and I like that. Sometimes, when I think it is not working properly I replace it for another one.

Logitech are excellent mice. If I didn't have my Mac Mouse, I would have a Logitech. We've had them in the past.

Sounds cute, Olga. I think I saw one like that. I'm definitely getting a Logitech. Thanks!

I must have wireless, too. I saw one for smaller hands, which I also have. They even make them for big hands. I had no idea there were so many choices.

I don't know the number on my old purple wireless Logitech that I am using, but I love it...between the 5 of us, we have gone through a lot of Logitech mice over the last 15 years, possibly 20...very good brand :beatingheart:

My mouse is wireless, and I take whatever Gary has in the attic. He's a "collector." :nod1: Our attic is like a pawn shop of old computer pieces and parts so when a keyboard or mouse breaks, I ask him to find me one up there.
I think mine is a Logitech too but not sure. The one thing they have to have is a scroll wheel. Can't work without the wheel.

which one did you get?
Well, I spent a LOT of time looking at all of them and reading SO many reviews. In the end, for my purposes, I chose the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Wireless Mobile Mouse, Black - it's rechargeable and what finally sold me was the size. I have small hands and this new mouse had to be comfortable. It was $54.95, so I think it will be a good one. If I don't like it, I can return it to Amazon. Here's what sold me.

I have been wireless for years. I hate cords and I forgot to add that it had to be wireless. I bought one - I just answered Zanthia's question as to what I got.

AS IF you needed another opinion- haha. I too have a small LOGI. 3 years now. Wireless and works GREAT!
I ended up buying the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Wireless Mobile Mouse. Zanthia just asked me what I got and I even posted a picture. I did SO much research and read SO many reviews. I can always return it if I don't like it. Good ole Amazon.

Chris @faerywings and Amanda @Amandajk and all of you were so helpful, Zanthia just asked me what I decided on. Here's my answer to her:

Thank you ALL for your help and I'll let you know if I love it.

I got my new mouse today! Thanks to all of you for your advice! It's Bluetooth and it hooked right up! I really like the way it feels in my hand. I got the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S.
