      Good point with the thumb button Ross. I also have my works Microsoft mouse thumb button configured to centre button, which works extremely well.
      Downside with this is when I work at home with my Logitech, especially when using ACAD, I always find myself going to the thumb button to pan.

        Mrs S,
        Chocolate biscuits. Well Mrs S, if you are a chocoholic I could have some very interesting information for you soon. We, sorry, Barbara the boss, found a wonderful site on the web, and they make amazing chocolates.

        We have a box of hand made chocolates delivered once a month, and they are just, well, very very tasty. Best ones we have ever tasted.

        She is returning from a jolly jaunt soon and I'll pass on the info on here return.

        Oh., I think I will have one now. O yes, very nice.

          Alan, it seems like you're overdosing on chocolate mousse dude.

          I have no idea what your post has to do with the topic above.

          Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

            Hi Juju,
            If you go back to the first posting by Mrs S.
            An indepth posting on the mouse.
            A light hearted gab about chocolate biscuits.
            You must have missed that bit. πŸ˜‰
            cheers

              Guys,

              If you don't mind, I have moved this thread to the "Hardware Forum".

              Enjoyed the discussion and learnt a lot at the same time...

                Hey Mike, i bought one of these a few weeks ago for my notebook but couldn't get the middle button to orbit within SU. in mouse setup it identified the link to Su and its specific button configuration but still didn't work so i took it back. i have since bought a Logitech cordless V320 and it is sweet!! Doesn't even feel like it is in your hand......
                desktop mouse is a logitech V510 i think or something like it...

                Hi,

                I hope I don't come across as too sad a person but I am really fussy about what mouse I use with my computer.

                Not sad at all ! I also think the mouse is a very important
                piece of equipment.

                I have a collection of them and my current favourite is the
                MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000. The wheel has a very
                smooth action and its mid size so it also works well on a laptop
                surface. There is also a handy 'under thumb' 4th button which
                can be activated in Windows, I have not figured out, yet, how
                to use it with the Mac.

                The link is, http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=045

                At least MS is useful for something πŸ˜†

                  Hi Alan,

                  Yep, I'll be interested in your chocolate info as long as it doesn't lead people in to thinking I've changed sex!
                  It's Mr S not Mrs S.

                  Actually, it's Mrs S who will be very interested in the chocolate.
                  I was more concerned with the socio/economic/political effects of people eating their biscuits the wrong way up! πŸ˜‰

                  Regards
                  Mr S

                    Looks like Juju AND myself are blind. πŸ˜‰
                    I will pm you with details when I have them.

                      I do so much mousing that I developed a very bad case of golfer's elbow. I was in pain all the time. Fealt as though I had bumpmed the inside of my elbow and it was badly bruised. Pins and needles too. My fingers also began to feel clawlike.

                      This mouse saved my arm, my hand. I can rest my hand on this in a very open positon and very lightly. And of course, as indicated in the picture, there is no twist to the elbow. There is also a double click button so I never mis-time double clicks any more.

                        very interesting tip, susan. i am right now trying to overcome a light numbing of my little finger, caused by so much mousing, i suppose. i may consider getting one of these mice myself.

                              That's so cool!!!
                              My son has a Wii and he says we could probably hook up his Wii remote to do the same thing.
