buying a new Mouse might seem simple but when you really think about it it's an important decision to make and one that you'll live with every time you sit down on your computer so be sure to choose the one that will make your on-screen life easier how do you do that well the first thing to look at is shape and design and start with whether you need a full-size desktop mouse or a mobile model the difference there is obviously size and portability if you plan to travel with it and the mobile ones tend to use alkaline batteries instead of a rechargeable microUSB port for juice you should always look for a mouse that fits the ergonomics of your hand there's different models for left and right-handed users in addition to contoured shapes to prevent the onset of repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel also it's worth noting that a small mobile Mouse might be a good fit for users with smaller hands the majority of mice out there connect to a computer either through a Bluetooth wireless connection or using a USB accessory you should probably stay away from the ladder if you're prone to losing small parts but just know that you'll be missing out on special features like logitech unifying reciever that lets you connect up to six devices to a PC or mobile device using a tiny USB dongle alright so let's talk about buttons you're probably used to seeing mice with two or three buttons tops but now you can actually get one with five six even eight buttons that can be mapped to any function you want whether that's opening a particular program controlling your media or switching between windows those shortcuts can really help you out with your productivity too and once you grow accustomed to using them throughout the day you'll probably be hooked forever so here's my theory about mice everyone falls into one of two categories you either prefer an infinitely smooth scroll wheel for jumping down pages with a single flick of the wrist or you got to have that ratcheting style wheel with notches that stop at each turn every brand has their own style but I like Blodgett X mice that can switch between the two remember the dust ball that would inevitably build up inside those old mechanical mice while those days are gone and laser tracking technology has come a long way enhancing precision movements and allowing for smooth bouncing across different surfaces like wood glass and even your own skin if you're in a bind finally your options can expand even further if you want extra stuff like touch sensitive gestures flashing lights or enhancements for you now the price for the fancier models can reach upwards of a hundred bucks but you don't have to spend a lot to get a great mouse that works for you start by checking off the features you need first then decide which ones are worth paying extra Oh
