Mouse Is Giving Up The Ghost!
My old Logitech, Wireless ball mouse's left button, is starting to stick. I think It's about time I get a newer one, possibly better for gaming anyway. The Model # for it was M-RK53

Im looking for a wireless, optical mouse, (compatible with Logitech receivers) that's good for gaming <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm trying to find one that's similar in shape to it.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

After looking around, I kinda want to get the same mouse. Can you still get this model from Logitech? Haven't seen it around.
It came with a wireless keyboard, so it had one receiver that can handle the two frequencys, without them interrupting eachother.
EDIT: And after looking at the MX700, I think that's a better choice instead. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
My receiver is compatible with all logitech wireless thingys.
Thanks for the help!
Anyway, how good is the MX700?
Trust me, i know.
- NEVER get a wireless network connection. The ability to move anywhere in the house and be connected at the same time doesn't counteract the fact that you'll get ~5 second ( ! durration, NOT PING !) lag spike when there's lots of traffic.
- Buying a optical and wireless mouse? Not a bad idea, but have a pack of batteries nearby, just in case.
- Buy good quality batteries and not some knock-off version. Knock-off versions will cause your character to die a ungodly # of times.
- Dont have multiple wireless objects close to one another.
- Dont buy wireless from Mirco$oft.

The MX700 doesnt use batteries, and ms mice arent that bad.

Entirely untrue. I use a wireless connection and I love it. Make sure you have good equipment. (Were you using Wireless A, B, or G?)
I went out and got one, it works fine. Except when I move it sideways, the cursor moves diagonaly, instead of just left or right. I can't find the option anywhere to adjust the horizontal field. Help?
I only installed the "MouseWare" Drivers.
One more thing. If I pick the mouse up a little to, say, turn around, the crosshairs goes in some random direction. Does it do this with all optical mice?
I'm sitting with an MX 700 right here, and I can testify they use batteries.
However, you can recharge the mouse in the base station.
It might just be me because I'm used to a ball mouse. I used to pivot the mouse from my wrist it instead of moving my arm sideways, to look left or right. When I try that with this mouse, the cursors go diagonal sideways.
Should I just get used to it? or go get a ball mouse again?
I put in a few layers of electrical tape over the click sensor, and it works fine again! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
surely the sticky left button can be fixed by cleaning the years of gunk out of it.
