Mouse snob.
When did I become so absolutely intent on buying only high-end mice for my computers? I think there was a time when I could have just gone to Best Buy or Target and picked up whatever they had and just been content, but no more. I have a Logitech G7 wireless laser gaming mouse for my PC, which I love. Two rechargable battery cells that I can swap out when one gets low (as shown by the three-stage battery indicator light!), three-speed pointer tracking at the push of a well-placed button, and lots of buttons, all fully customizable. Plus a very comfortable design. It's the nicest, smoothest mouse. But it just doesn't do what it should on the Mac. The tracking speed is just weird, the pointer leaps on its own from one side of my (large) screen to the other, and yeah, it's frustrating. I got a new wireless keyboard-mouse combo for Christmas, and while I love the new keyboard, that mouse just blows. It's too basic for me now (I tell you, I am a mouse snob extraordinaire), and it doesn't work that great. The scroll wheel is a joke. Doesn't function at all half the time. But even if it did function well, I don't know. I want laser! I want bells! I want whistles! So yeah, I'm in the market for a mouse that'll rock my Mac. My G7 doesn't actually even have any available Mac drivers, so that prolly explains the issues I've had. Kudos to Apple that the thing works as well as it does. So yeah, I need a Mac mouse. I was enamored with the bluetooth wireless laser Mighty Mouse, made BY Apple, but now I've cooled on that. The scroll ball thing seems cool, but everyone says it gets dirty too easily and can't be cleaned without tearing the mouse apart. Plus, it apparently has trouble distinguishing between left and right clicks. Hmmm. So yeah, now I want ... here it comes ... wait for it ... the Logitech MX Revolution wireless laser mouse. WOO! Yeah, I'll be ordering that eventually. List price, $100. Eeek. But looks like I can get an open box or something through eBay for half that, which I'm not above doing. But it seems to fulfill all my needlessly high requirements. "Experience bulletproof wireless freedom with robust 2.4 GHz Digital Cordless"! Hell yes. And two-speed scrolling! An extra wheel on the side! A four-stage battery life indicator! Nice. Plus, great reviews from Mac users. So the Mac can have the Revolution, and the PC can have the G7. Everyone's happy.
Logitech is awesome, by the way. Have I mentioned that? I've never once been disappointed with their products. Mouse, webcam, game controller, all good.
