I'm having some issues on choosing a new mouse for my pc.. i want to buy a new mouse, but i don't really know wich one. i had a look on the microsoft touch mouse ( http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/products/touch-mouse/microsite/ ), but does anyone have some experience with it? because i read reviews that were totally good, but also that were totally bad..
or do you have an idea/suggestion for another mouse (doesn't have to be touch) below €80?
thanks for all :)

The Magic Mouse that comes with the iMac is pretty awesome.

I, uhh... dont like the magic mouse :P
anyway, i use a tablet (wacom) instead of a mouse mostly. Love it.

Yes you can, it comes with the BootCamp drivers. I guess it comes separately too.

I asked Juju how long did batteries last in that kind of mouse while he was at my home last evening, but I forgot already. Do they last a good amount of time or do they last like 2-3 hours? When I play Starcraft II, some people's mouse die in the middle of games so if they're not
korean good they can't do much.
-
For some reason, the batteries of my mouse already died one time and have 68% left while my keyboard is still at 100%. Got them since something like a month.
-
Ah ok so they last a decent amount of time? Also what kind of battery do they use? AAA's or batteries like in the TI-Nspire that you recharge via USB? I was wondering because if I ever got a mac like that or a similar keyboard/mouse for Windows, I would hate having to change batteries every 3 hours.
-
Decent amount of time, not sure. Not every 3 hours though. More like a month. And it's AA batteries.
-
I use the Trust-MI-7700R. I recommend that one. Batteries last super long and stuff.
and it's definitely below €80
-
Just to throw it out there as an alternative, why not try a trackball? I have a Logitech Marble Mouse and it's excellent.

I've had it for 3 years now, and it's just as solid as one day one. I also play plenty of games with it, including FPS and strategy games, and it's fine.
-
because they're too big to take it with me everywhere i go with my laptop.. i tought of that too, but thanks for the advice :)
i'll have a look at that trust one, how old is yours? since i have had trust stuff that only last for like 2 months or so xs
-
Nick, my mouse has been alive for over 2.5 years now so that's okay :P
One thing: It's a wireless. So dont lose the receiver.
-
For a travel mouse I essentially use this:

I got about 4 of them from my university, each with a different design, and they have each lasted years. They are also surprisingly good; I can happily use the mouse on any surface, with no issues, and it's one of the main reasons I use it. It's also dirt cheap, so if it does break after a few months, no worries.
-
WHAT UNIVERSITY!! I love free stuff
-
You should get this one.
http://www.fabstuff.net/products/664 (http://www.fabstuff.net/products/664)

$25,693.20
£16,200.00
€19,764.00
-
Woah that's expensive. Probably because of diamonds.
