mouse

What kind of mouse do you use for everyday tasks? I just happen to use the mouse that came with my computer. It is nothing special, just a standard HP optical mouse.

I have a Logitech G5 mouse, I use it for 3D gaming. It is very precise and well-performing.

I am not a fan of high tech gaming mice, I do not usually play games all the time. The standard mouse would suffice for just programming / data entry work.

I think the gaming mice have extra buttons on the side for other functions. But if you don't play games, you don't need so many buttons on your mouse.

Most of the extra buttons, have only one use, "binding" a action to them. So if you knew how in a certain game, you could bind mouse 5 to shoot. More mouse buttons means more keys to bind.

I use the mouse that came with the system. I am thinking to either have a touch pad keyboard or a wireless. I am leaning to the touch pad keyboard.

I have a laptop so I had to buy a mouse to use instead of using hte touchpad. It connects to a usb port and works well. It's a microsoft basic optical mouse.
