    Default Are wireless mouses meant to suck so bad?

    My wireless mouse has been sucky lately, I've been changing the batteries lately, but it's still weird. Maybe mouses just are crappy at highlighted and stuff like that, but I think my wireless mouse has been going crazy. Then again, it may just be a temporary thing, like when my keyboard would be weird and mix up my typing.

    I have a wireless mouse. Except for on the rare occasion where it'll lose connection with the base signal, it's pretty much a solid piece of work.

    Do you have any non-Windows drivers installed for your mouse? I've never much cared for drivers that come with mouses. They can be buggy at times. I use my mouse on average five hours a day and find I have to change the batteries (I use rechargeable) every couple weeks. Perhaps it's time to buy a new mouse.

    Most likely just a bad mouse.

    I think it is a bad mouse, it's getting worse lately. I don't think I could replace it without getting a new keyboard though, as they all run from the same thing. Ah well.

    I'd just use an optical mouse myself. Never much saw the point of wireless ones. And yeah I had trouble the few times I did use them. Optical <3
