Logitech used to be good but in my recent experience I'd say they are putting too-cheap microswitches in them. I've had three mice (of different Logitech models) all start signalling double-clicks when a button is pressed once. Reviews on Amazon suggest lots of people have found the same. Before this I had no problems, but had bought several mice - one for each of a series of laptops and desktops. It's probably deliberate so that users have to buy new mice every few months. My most recent mouse - wireless, and used mainly in bed when it runs on top of the duvet or under it, on the sheet, with a laptop on an overbed table at most a couple of feet above it, is an Anker "vertical mouse". That's - so far - holding up well (and it's easier on the wrist too). I think one reason it's still ok is that its peculiar body shape means that it tends - if it falls off the bed - to roll (like a landing paratrooper) when it hits the floor, cushioning the shock. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
