Title: Wireless Mouse Recommendation
Post by: Apostrophe Spacemonkey on January 13, 2015, 07:10:11 am

I'm looking for a wireless mouse to use for my HTPC

Need to work well on lots of surfaces (like my pants)


It's for internet browsing, Netflix etc

What do people recommend? Looking to spend around $40 to $50

Had the Bluetooth version of this a few years back and I couldn't recommend it enough for the performance and how comfortable it was to use.

I found a spare one in a draw. So that worked out well.

http://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/anywhere-mouse-mx (http://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/anywhere-mouse-mx)
Is the best mouse for pants, glass e.t.c
decent battery life and has programmable buttons.
little bit expensive but worth it.

I really like my Razer Orochi.

bonus is can change it over to wired to charge

downside - if you have monster sized hands then go with the MAMBA 4g

of you want to go over the top in price range there is always:
http://www.razerzone.com/au-en/gaming-mice/razer-ouroboros (http://www.razerzone.com/au-en/gaming-mice/razer-ouroboros)
one of those fully customizable mice that are fun to set up for the first 15 min and than lose the novelty as you realise how much you payed for it.
ps. you probably get a sticker sore some crap like that to make it worth it :P
