No Need for Batteries
No Need for Batteries
#1
I was wandering at the local Best Buy when I saw Logitech's MX performance mouse on the shelf. Took it home with and I'm impressed.
1.  You can 2 scroll speeds...fast and zooom! for those long internet pages or word documents. There's a detent switch above the scroll wheel to distinguish the speeds.
2. The scroll wheel can also be pushed left or right when you have a wide page.
3. The mouse will track over any surface..even glass...no more contacts getting dirty. I've been using over a dusty mouse pad and no problems so far.
4. It's wireless. Meh..you need batteries for it right and replace it. No quite. The battery is rechargeable and built in. The charging cable also acts as the mouse cable when needed. There's an LED status indicator that warns you when the juice is going done.  So, no need for batteries. No more hunting the house for spare AAA when the thing goes down.
There's more power hacks..haven't tried all yet.

Oh, there's also an off/on switch at the bottom of the mouse. If you want to speed up the charging time, just turn the mouse off when not in use.
You know, I'd like to see somebody fly a fighter using a mouse and HOTA system. Maybe not an athmo fighter, but a space fighter?

And here I thought this was about some new anime in an old franchise...

("No Need for Batteries" in Japanese is "Denchi Muyo")

If it doesn't already exist, I'd say it was a moral imperative to do it, just for the joke.

I've got one of the Logitech Marathon mice. (The "last just about forever on one pair of AAs" kind.) Rechargeable might seem like a good idea, but running a cable from my mousepad to my computer would make using it just about impossible. And since it takes about a week between the low battery warning coming on and when it actually runs out of power, it's not hard to find batteries in time.

This is my second of the same basic design, and I'm definitely happy with them. Damn few companies seem to make mice that are the right size to be comfortable for me, and about half of *those* are fancy gaming mice with buttons in places I'll never feel comfortable having buttons. I just want a mouse that's comfortable to use, and these get the job done.

I use http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/w ... 570?crid=8 on my MiniMac media box and love it.

They used to make a wired version of it, I used that for many years until it wore out.

I should probably pick up a new one for the new PC.
