=============
Best MOUSE I ever had was a clear case Logitech that lasted longer
than the computer to which it was originally attached.
When it became 'ill,' I bought other rodents (including Logitech
devices) -- all quickly met their end. (I compared them to
longer-lived HP equipment and determined there seemed to be less ball
'play' with the High Price/High Performance eqipment.)
HOWEVER, in the end I found/bought a Wacom 4*5 pad w/cordless,
battery-less stylus (partly based on results of a question posed to
this list and followed by a summary) and partly based on cost (~US$80).
I could buy LOTS of /cheap/ rodents for those $s, but the
inconvenience of their demise, the installation, etc., made the
pen/pad combo attractive.
Addd bonus: my southpaw son being able to use the pen as efficiently
as his right-handed dad (can't do that with an 'ergonamic' mouse).
It has proven to be rugged (it bounces nicely on a terrazo floor) and,
strangely, it has NOT /disappeared./ (With 3 kids, THAT was a concern.)
No Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.
Adjustment period: 5 minutes is about right.
