I got a new laser mouse. It was pretty cheap. The brand is SpeedLink. The hardware part seems good but the driver is unusable. They said that the mouse has 5 programmable buttons but after a while it loses the function assigned to the buttons So, the ‘programmable’ buttons are not that programmable. I will wait 48 hours to see if the support will give me a solution to this problem else I will send it back right away.
Also 70% of the weight is distributed on the back of the mouse. When you list it you have to grip it really well else it will flip in your hand.
Pros:
- Cheap
- High DPI
- Cable is soft/flexible but resistant
Cons
- Driver issues (renders the buttons inoperable)
- Uneven weight
- Extremely heavy for a mouse without batteries
I will go back to my old mouse for the moment.
