Looking for a mouse

Post by DTS »

Looking for a mouse
What I'm looking for is a corded mouse with one thumb button, or one either side, and a mousewheel that clicks as you scroll it. I don't want one of those 4-directional scroll wheels either.

Does anyone know of a mouse like this?
I'm having trouble finding one cause the pictures online don't show the sides very clearly and the text with them doesn't say whether the mouse wheel clicks.

It could have two thumb buttons, or two either side, but it'd have to not have raised knobs on the buttons like a Razer Pro I sent back had. Now I see that Razer Pro is available as V1.6, I don't know if that's different.

Those raised knobs dig into the thumb that's why I don't want them. I don't like the raised knobs on keyboards either cause they dig into the fingers. They have those on the keys to find the typing position for.

I've been to some shops but they don't have much of a selection, so it looks like it's mail-order.

I'm still using the Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse. The larger designs bother the damaged ligament in my thumb too much.

You use it though so maybe I should try it. Maybe the buttons don't get in the way.

I tried it through the packet in a shop and it seemed they would get in the way, maybe I should try it out of the packet.

Edit: It has the Logitech logo on the top, though. That would get in the way.

It's not really necessary, is it?
