Labtec Optical Mouse

Labtec Optical Mouse 800 My choice of mouse has been optical since they first came out - this means that there is no roller ball and instead there is a laser-light that responds to movements and also means that while a mousemat is good it is not essential as the optical light perceives movement across pretty much any surface. My old Typhoon optical mouse, bought way cheap a few years back, decided to die on me (the scrollwheel broke!) a while back so I decided to spend a little more and chose the Labtec 800. This mouse has an extremely comfortable fit, being a little narrower than my previous one, and because it has ridged and inward ...  Read the complete review

I got given this about three years ago and back then I think alot of people were still using those horrible roller-ball mice, this also included myself. I had been using a roller-ball at the time which was infuriating to use, because mainly dirt would get in it every other day or so and I would have to clean it out. Well anyway fast forward to today and probably in most places I've been in they use optical based mice. Which of course are a huge improvement. You don't need to clean out anything as you know, the ball has been replaced with a laser that detects movement when you move the mouse.

I bought the optical mouse for only £9.99 from Index (also available at the same price in Argos). When I first used it, it felt weird using the optical mouse instead of the wheel mouse because of how smooth it is and that I got used to the wheel under the mouse I used to use.

The look matches my Emachines 420 machine, which is silver so I was impressed with the colour I got with it. The colours available are black and ...  Read the complete review

Firstly you have to connect the mouse to the PC. Simply plug the mouse in the back, then restart the computer. Then your ready to start. If not then you may have to use the disk you get with the mouse to connect it. However i dont think it would work with a laptop. But am not sure. This is the second mouse i have had and its Excellent. The size of the mouse is average size so nice and easy to handle. The colour is Beige and Blue underneath. It has both left and right hand buttons with a scroll wheel in the middle. The scroll wheel is on top of a little slant so its nice and easy to press if needed. The mouse has a wire which may put some folk off. But ...  Read the complete review
