My wireless mouse hates my new laptop. The cursor runs away off the top right hand side of the screen. My USB mouse works just fine. (Both are optical.)
Now after reading this thread I think it may be because the new laptop only has USB ports on the right hand side. I always used to plug the dongle in behind the screen and now I cannot.

I use a small cardboard box - actually the box my wireless router came in - with a mousepad on top, for surfing in bed.

I just want like, a $2 mouse with a ball in it, 2 buttons with scroll wheel, wired. I got one of those at Kinko's for $10. You can try looking there if you live in the US. |

Yup. Registered 10 minutes ago, and within 10 minutes had 3 messages in 3 threads, all identical. This one needs instant killing. |

They know Venusy is dead and they are taking full advantage. We need a moderator to kill posts like these!
C'mon Pescado, get Mrs Pes in here. She'd sort them out.

As in, the copy place? I would never have thought to look there for hardware! XD I tried Office Depot, Comp USA, Best Buy... |

I can't stand wired mice: the cord gets stuck or is in the way all the time. At work I have no choice, but at home it's wireless. I've now been using a Logitech MX1000 mouse for about two and a half years, and have been very happy with it. Only now it seems that the middle button is starting to wear off, because the rotating in the game doesn't always work on the first try.

Wireless meeces suck. They never work right, and getting one that doesn't constantly die is a right pain in the ass. Besides, my properly wired mouse is titanium.

My wireless mouse has never died on me during the past 2½ years. It sits on the charger every night, but can go for days without charging if I forget to sometimes.

Besides, how do you stand the LACK OF WIRE? I didn't like the transition to optical meeces either. The ball provides necessary traction. This is why I have an unusual optical ball meece. That uses the optical tracking, but retains a vestigial ball. The wire is the same way: There are actually specific manuevers one can perform in combat using a wired mouse that cannot be duplicated without. Meanwhile, the lack of a wire provides no benefit whatsoever.

That is perfect for my desktop. Whoever decided that laptops don't need PS/2 ports ought to be shot. |

It says it includes a USB to PS/2 adapter, that should make it work for your laptop.
