A computer mouse is often overlooked when it comes to a point of purchase.  In fact, after spending thousands of dollars on a brand new spanking new PC system, why should I dish out a sizeable sum on a computer mouse?   Times are changing and this attitude seems to be a thing of the past.  Just take a look at the latest offerings from Logitech and Microsoft

Today’s current generation of mice enables the user to operate their computer programs in a more reliable and efficient manner.   Everyone wants to enjoy their surfing experience with ease, and the last thing a user wants to do is to fight with their mouse.  In more competitive environments, gamers want a mouse that will be accurate, and smooth in order for them to stay competitive.  It certainly doesn’t feel great when you lose that important deathmatch because your mouse is skipping or making you run into walls.  Logitech and Microsoft have done their homework and listened to our complaints as shown by their top offerings in mice technology, but which one is the better of the two?  You’ll soon find out…

The Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel

The “Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel” is a product that offers a great combination of performance and comfort.   Through the use of low frequency radio waves, coupled with a receiver directly attached to the computer, the cordless ability of this mouse becomes a reality.  Other cordless innovations, like infrared technology, can vary in performance because direct aiming is required to make the set up to work.  The Cordless Mouseman Wheel uses radio frequencies so signals can bounce of walls and objects.   This mouse comes in a four-button configuration that includes a thumb button alongside the normal button-wheel setup.   In terms of compatibility, the Cordless Wheel is available in either serial or PS/2 ports.  A triple “A” Battery is also required for the mouse to work.   Logitech have garnered a reputation for producing quality-performing mouse’s and this Cordless product is no different.  As far as gaming is concerned, Logitech has long been a sponsor of “The Professional Gamers League” (PGL).   Now that’s dedication to performance!

The Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer

The Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer is a funky looking mouse that performs better than it looks.  As many of you probably know, the Intellimouse is a revolutionary mouse design that incorporates “IntelliEye” technology.  An optical sensor is used to scan surfaces 1500 times per second, thus improving feedback and accuracy.  This mouse can be used with or without a mouse pad.  It can also be used on most flat surfaces as well.  The Intellimouse also gives out a fine reminiscent glow when in use.  By looking at its bottom, you will see the inner workings of a product very different from the competition.  Maintenance issues will also be a thing of the past due to the fact this mouse uses no moving parts.  There will be no issues related to cleaning the interior or taking out the ball.   With a five-button configuration, the IntelliMouse offers two additional side buttons along with the three button-wheel setup.  Available in PS/2 or USB configurations, this glowing red wonder stands out from the rest of the pack, but is it good enough to take on “The Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel”?
