Wireless Mouse

Years ago, I was given a wireless mouse.  And loved it.  This was so long ago, I was still using my desktop computer, and eventually, bought a wireless mouse so I could use one for the laptop and one for the desktop, because I was crazy and would have two computers going at the same time. 

Sometime back, I realized that what I thought was a problem with my computer being non-responsive, was a problem with the first wireless mouse I had acquired.  So, I started using the other one, and the problems went away. 

Last night, one of my cats was trying to get on the desk, and I did not react quickly enough to keep her from tilting the laptop.  In the course of doing so, the antenna on the mouse was destroyed.

So I hooked up the other mouse, that worked okay for everything but drop and drag.  I use a lot of drop and drag when I play Words with Friends  https://apps.facebook.com/wordswithfriends/ on Facebook.  So, this afternoon, I went to Office Depot https://apps.facebook.com/wordswithfriends/ and purchased another wireless mouse. A computer search indicated that both Office Depot and Wal Mart https://www.walmart.com/ had sales on wireless mouse that were therefore priced less than $10.  I went to Office Depot.  Technically, I could walk to Office Depot, and I have in the past, but today, I had a time constraint so chose to drive.

This mouse will take some getting used to.  Interestingly, the antenna is a small little nub, and is stored in the battery compartment of the mouse.  Which is better for traveling. This mouse has a wheel, and unlike my older mice, the wheel does not have a feel of cogs when it turns.  But it works just fine, once I became used to it.  Ergonomically, it feels comfortable.
