How Did I Get Along Without One Of These?

West Virginia

My mouse finally died yesterday. I'd push it in one direction and the arrow on the screen would go in another. No amount of cleaning solved the problem. Photo editing was difficult to say the least.

So I went to Walmart planning on buying one of the $5 cheapies when I saw this. I didn't even know what an optical mouse was. Got home and plugged it in and WOW! How cool are these? Has this little red light that tracks it. So smooth and no little clicky noises.

Do they have batteries? You can tell the level of my technological knowledge. LOL.

I have one too, but now I keep hearing about those wacom pen thingies....Everytime I think I get the latest thing...there is something later!

no batteries?? Really? How does it stay alive?? I'm as technically challenged as I can get!

Nice shot, couldn't figure it out from the thumb. Yep, will never go back to a roller type.

Nice color on this, the red glow, the blue of the mouse...

Great shot. I never would have thought of this, as often as I've admired my mouse's little red glow!

Nice treatment. I like the touchpad on my laptop.

No batteries, unless they are of the wireless type. Cool mouse (and shot).
