On 4 May, Matt scribbled:
-> Hmm .. this is a bit of a weird question but i'm just wondering if anyone
-> knows what a good popular mouse is for Linux ?
->
-> Firstly .. I believe that in Linux, 3 button mice are quite essential to
-> properly use X (or take advantage of the shortcuts), I had a look around and
-> I found that the "most popular 3 button mouse" is a Logitech, here's a link:
->
-> http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/productoverview.cfm/9
->
-> I also went to the VA Linux website to see what they use and they just say
-> "3 button mouse" :)
It's a logitech :)
prrsonally I use the MS Intellimouse Explorer (the Optical one that
glows red) - tis' the bestmouse I've ever used - I recommend it well
above and beyond all the logitech's i'v ever used - infact any mouse -
i've cycled though 3 button serial mice, logitech mouseman,
mousemanplue, mousemanplus with wheel, plain 3 button logitech generic
and now the MS intellimouse explorer - and its the best - its
responsive - it's optical on any surface - thus never need cleaning -
so it doesn get jerky and sicky - the wheel actually works smoohtly and
consistantly unlike any of the logitech wheel mice that really suck...
it actually has an exta 2 button on the isde that are suported in
xfree4.0 too (use ExplorerPS2 protcol in your XF86Config to make it
work)
MS may make dubious OS's - but they make the best damn mice... :)
->
-> What do you guys think of mouse wheels in Linux ? What about USB devices ?
->
-> Currently I have a 2 button, 1 wheel Intellimouse, and I want to get a 3
-> button. Should I just go with an Intellieye ?
->
-> I kinda want a traditional mouse at the same time (go search for "sun 3
-> button mouse") .. neat :)
->
-> Oh well, lemmie know what you think guys :)
->
-> Thanks !
->
-> Regards, Matt
