Every week, buy.com puts on a sale which always includes a number of things that I may enjoy purchasing.. or things that I may consider as great gifts.
This week I have a number of reviews that I’m going to create, but the first one is on the Kensington CI65M Notebook Wireless Optical Mouse. I never really thought about how handy these things are until you go about using a laptop on a regular basis.
Most of the day I’m in front of my desktop computer having the luxury of a full keyboard and mouse to navigate and type away. The problem with laptops however (in my humble opinion), is that they don’t have a great way to navigate the screen as quickly as one can with a mouse.
It’s ironic that with all the years of technology and advances we’ve made with computers, that we haven’t found or discovered a better way to navigate around the screen than with a traditional mouse! Of course there have been lots of different types of mice brought forth into the marketplace, but I can honestly say that nothing beats a good reliable optical mouse thus far.
And that’s another point, they now have (instead of optical) laser mice which are supposed to be that much more accurate, etc and able to use on any surface.. but really, for the price difference (usually 4x as much), what surface are you trying to use a mouse on that you’d need to spend those extra dollars? Again.. point up for optical.
I also can honestly say the proof is in experience, and as I glance down at the optical mouse I’ve owned for about 6 years.. I think it’s safe to say that I don’t feel the need to go to anything else.
Long story short, buy.com has it on for 44% off and only $14.99 USD.. nice deal for something you’d actually use.
