Microsoft Arc Mouse Jun 3, 2012

The most comfortable mouse I've ever had. Expensive but reliable. Never had a single problem with it. Got it when they first came out and seriously will never use anything else. Feel lost without it. Hate mousetails, wires that get twisted. Hate wires anywhere!

In love with Apple's Magic Mouse Jun 3, 2012

I use Apple's Magic Mouse with a special driver on my Windows PC. Although it is overpriced, not fully compatible with Windows and sometimes does not work well and drives me crazy I am in love with the design, color, feel and even smell of it and I like its multi-touch functions.

I know it is not very practical, but then I mostly use shortcuts while translating in Trados...

Ecological Jun 3, 2012

By using a wired mouse I eliminate the need for batteries and reduce my carbon print.

Wireless old faithful Jun 3, 2012

Now over six years old and still going strong, despite the battery cover breaking a few months ago. Might have to be replaced soon.

The touchpad on my laptop is permanently switched off; it has a mind of its own. Have not yet befriended the thing (too slow for me) and am unlikely too.

Wired Jun 3, 2012

Call me old-fashioned! I bought my most recent one in the drugstore for US$6.00, and it has lasted for years. I've had bad luck with several wireless mice and my tech doesn't recommend them.

I have two desktops but no laptops, mainly because I don't like touchpads. I use a wired mouse with my netbook. Works like a charm!

Wireless - either hand Jun 4, 2012

After having to be operated for Carpal Tunnel (too many years on the PC!) a wireless mouse is a must to avoid a repeat!

Of mice and men Jun 5, 2012

Haven't been using a mouse for ages. Wacom tablet and stylus + Apple trackpad for scrolling and moving between screens on my iMac 27"+23" Cinema display.
