    Default Logitech M570 mouse




    I got this new mouse yesterday. Supposed to be more ergonomic, and just easier to use.

    But wow is it weird to completely change how you use a mouse! I keep wanting to move the whole device when all you do is use your thumb to wheel around the pages, and although there is the 2 buttons on the mouse, it is aligned differently and feels different. Starting all over again!

    But it is really nice and is easier when I'm spot on. Once I get used to it this will be much better in the long run.

    Throw that in the garbage and get a Logitech M720.

    You'll thank me in your prayers.

    I actually did look at that one on Amazon, but I narrowed it down to the trackball mice. I got tired of when I move the mouse around, that it sometimes didn't go where I wanted. And it absolutely sucked on different surfaces, whereas you can hold this one in your lap and use it.

    And you need to go out and get a huge Keurig machine for the cabin!!

    Trackballs tend to get clogged with lint.

    I have an HP LED mouse, but will not use a wireless.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Never! Homie likes his premium Denali coffee. And when we're at L5, it gets doctored up with a nice bit of Bailey's Irish Cream.

    You don't like wireless because of battery usage? Wireless mice used to be kind of hard on batteries, but I've got over 8 months usage on this AA battery and it's still going strong. I like less cords coming out of my computer.

    No doubt, some damn good coffee there at L5!! But if you do it right, you can still have that premium coffee using a Keurig AND still some Bailey's!!

    I'm just too stupid with that damn 500 year old percolator thingy, and it takes me too damn long to get the coffee in me when I wake up!! I like to have my coffee in my belly about 3 minutes after crawling out of bed, using the bathroom, and getting my coffee.

    My new on, on the settings page, shows an approximate time for batteries, and it shows 548 days. Even one year would be more than acceptable for me.

    I have the Logitech M705. Wireless. Works great especially for $22.
