A great Combo!

Hi,

I feel it is time to honor two things that are taken for granted by most people, even though they are of great importance: THAT'S RIGHT: the mouse & mousepad! So to celebrate these handy items: HERE'S A THREAD JUST FOR YOU!

So -> What type of mouse & mousepad do you use?

I use a Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical - with a "fellowes" mousepad (better glide than Everlide pads.. and a hell of a lot cheaper!

[(Hamylde)]

My mouse is just the regular Compaq mouse that came with the computer with the scrollwheel. My mousepad at the current moment is an issue of Motor Trend with the 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 on the cover, since I misplaced my mousepad when I was cleaning my desktop of things like cookie crumbs, Coke spills, etc.

I've got a True-Touch Optical Wheel mouse. The wheel-button thing alone has 38 functions! W00t!
My mousepad, well, it's some black thing. It's got no name on it, a big gel patch, and it feels weird.
Why do we need them anyway?

What do you mean: the gel-cushioning or a mousepad?

Shenlong · 25th September 2002, 21:21

Nevermind, my mouse is a Compaq mouse, but made by Logitech. I loaded a software program months ago that lets you create an assignment for each of the buttons. Someone messed with my mouse once and had my left-click button programed to be used as the [Enter] button...

HyperHacker · 25th September 2002, 22:18

Der pad! I never saw a point.

eleet-2k2 · 25th September 2002, 22:28

I use 2 MS Optical Mice (the plain 2 button and scroll wheel types). My mousepad is a mickey mouse and a canadian commemerative quarter (coin).

jyvasaa · 25th September 2002, 22:29

i have a standard compaq mouse with scrollwheel too, but i looked on the bottom and it's actually a logitech. and my current mousepad is a mousepad-shaped notepad. i can write on it and tear off a sheet.

flatmatt · 26th September 2002, 01:12

I've got a Microsoft optical mouse (the cheap one) with... Dun dun DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Nullsoft Ninja Month mousepad!!!!

MetallichicA · 26th September 2002, 02:13

I've got a Logitech Mouseman Wheel (I think that's what it's called, it's the one with the thumb button near the bottom) and a Microsoft Wireless Optical Explorer or whatever they call it. The one with no cord, and a red light on the bottom, and it has two thumb buttons. I use both mice kinda interchangeably, because the cordless one's batteries go dead about every three weeks. I can't afford THAT many batteries...

My mousepad is an Ohio State Buckeyes one.

zootm · 26th September 2002, 02:32

the grey/beige microsoft ambidextrous intellimouse explorer optical one (IT'S JUST A MOUSE!!! WHY SO MANY WORDS?!) and a novelty mousepad that holds a photograph in it - it has a snap of my desk in it... so i have my desk on my desk...

Oni-Dracula · 26th September 2002, 02:54

I have the sexiest mouse here.

Teh Logitech Mouseman Wheel. Old school.

It has 2 red LED's on the top and bottom of the red ball. The new ones dont have this, so mines even more special

Mouspad? I'd only use a mousepad if it looked hella cool and matched the rest of my peripherals (black/silver/red)

rm' · 26th September 2002, 03:27

I have the coolest kind of mouse wheel of them all... it's not even a wheel. It's a little knob (heh) that rocks back and forth, kind of like a joystick. It reduces physical movement to the bare minimum... rather then having to turn a wheel, I can just twitch my finger. I won't be keeping this thing though... it's not optical.

I am Jesus · 26th September 2002, 03:31

One of those logitech optical mice, no mouse pad for me.

InvisableMan · 26th September 2002, 04:02

logitech.. optical wheel. i have hundreds of mousepads i switch off.... right now im using a heat snesitive one where you touch it or get a heat source near it it changes color. i also have the original nullsoft ninja month mousepad

binary hero · 26th September 2002, 08:54

one of those.

Atmo · 26th September 2002, 08:58

MS Intellimouse optical (for gaming and graphics), and MS Explorer wireless optical (for when im too lazy to sit at the desk).

Tweety and Silvester mousepad, with a funky gel wrist rest from a different mouse pad.

ctn|chrisw · 26th September 2002, 09:02

sony optical usb mouse with a joy-stick thingy in the middle instead of a rolling thing- and a built in memory stick reader

Xerxes · 26th September 2002, 09:17

Boring Logitech Scrollwheel Mouse.

Mousepad: My old dollar one got nasty after I spilled steak juice on it, so I retired it. I now have a mousepad replica of the Declaration of Independence, with signatures at all.

As a living divinity temporarily in human form, I figure The Declaration of Independence is the only thing worthy of collecting my sacred wrist sweat and mouseball lint.

The award winning dollar collage mousepad is still for sale at cafe press: http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/store.aspx?s=xerxes - Christmas time is coming....

LuciusA.Sejanus · 26th September 2002, 09:18

I highly reccomend the above service and/or product.

fwgx · 26th September 2002, 16:41

A Sun compact 1 Mouse on a "The Centre of SUN is U" cheesey marketing campaign pad. Does the job. I'm finding it hard to getting used copying and pasting in XP because this select and press the middle button paste job here it just too good

.

I thought about getting one of those, since it was on sale a while back, but... it just looks so SMALL. Isn't it a pain to use? Or does it end up being plenty of room, really? Would you recommend it?

The only penpad I've ever used was about the size of a standard sheet of paper. I can't imagine using anything smaller, but it seems like this thing is pretty popular.

Vie · 26th September 2002, 16:54

Mouse is a Kensington Orbit

so I dont need a mouse pad

Montana · 26th September 2002, 17:59

i still have a standard 2-button mouse, you know the one y'all used back in days (eeeh, is like 2 years "back in the days")

c2R · 26th September 2002, 18:35

I just upgraded my old Quickshot three button serial mouse for one of those fancy Microsoft Intellimice optical with wheel.

I love the red LED glow... yeah.
