If mouse is dead

[Guest]

What kind of mouse would you recomend?
I only have 4 USB ports in the rear I'm worried about a good signal with
wireless.

The regular MS wireless mouse has a receiver that can be placed on the
desk..

As do the Logitech rodents (other than those designed specifically for
laptops, which use a USB dongle as the reciever - hey, so do MS laptop mice)

If you go for a Logitech, make sure its a newer one that uses the Setpoint
driver. Older models using Mouseware or iTouch are not fully supported in
Vista (they will use the default driver, so you don't get access to all
possible configurations.)

Go buy a USB hub.
Converts one USB port to 4 USB ports.

You can get one at Wal-Mart.

I've used the MS wireless mouse, designed for notebooks, with the wireless
reciever hanging off a USB port on the back of the PC, without issue.

Good luck!
