Computer Mouse
« on: November 15, 2015, 10:35:17 am »
For a computer mouse, I would rather use a wire than deal with changing batteries.

Do you prefer a computer mouse with the wire, or a wireless mouse?

I've used both.  After I switched to wireless, I never wanted to switch back, but I do get tired of changing batteries.  I spend a lot of time on the computer, and it seems like no time at all until I get the message that my mouse is about to shut off.  Then I'm forced to get up and find a couple of new batteries.

I prefer wireless.  I make sure to turn mine off when I'm not using and that helps save on the battery life.
Have a wonderful day!

Even tough I have I laptop I still prefer a mouse. I have limited dexterity and a mouse is much easier for me to use. I love my wireless mouse I travels with me. :pumpkin: :turkey: :peace: :wave:

I prefer it ALL be wireless.  The easiest way to make the batteries last longer on a wireless mouse is to flip the switch to the "off" position when not in use, and after shutting down the computer for the evening.  Since my keyboard is wireless, too, I turn that off also.

Wireless is SO MUCH better than wired.  I have a Bluetooth mouse that has an internal rechargeable battery, so I just plug it in every few nights to a USB power cord and let it charge overnight.  I've only run out of power a handful of times when I forget to charge it for 7-10 days.

 I prefer a wireless mouse because I do not have to worry about the wire getting tangled.

I use a mouse with a wire and my mom uses a wireless. The wireless is nice since you don't have to worry about the wire getting tangled (which has happened to me before). However I still prefer the wire. Like you I don't want to have to use batteries.

I've used both...I prefer wireless but, either my cat steals it or the batteries die at the worst possible times.  I got tired of running to the store for batteries & not being able to find the mouse.  I keep a small tote filled with batteries, an extra wireless mouse, an extra corded mouse and some other extra computer cords, because cat also likes to chew!)  No more unwanted emergency trips to the store!!

I like both but I prefer a wireless mouse because I don't have to worry about the cord all the time.

I prefer wireless.  Dealing with the cord is annoying to me.

I do the same! I prefer wireless but turn it off when I'm not using it. It helps save the batteries which I still have to change often because I do a lot of computer work.

I prefer a wireless mouse.  I find it so much easier to work with and maneuver.  If I use a corded mouse the wires tend to get in my way.  :thumbsup:

For a laptop I prefer wireless.

For a desktop I  prefer optical wired.

Mostly because I can manage the cables better on a desk and if I'm using my laptop I'm usually on the fly, so having all those cords can be a hassle.
