I wish they would give the dimensions of a mouse in the description.

Also wish they wouldn't give every gaming mouse some stupid "hardcore" design/colors.

hmm, i feel like for that price i should get more then a 10 million click warranty. i should get like 1 billion and 5 years.

im not really looking for a pro gaming mouse, i mostly just want something that will point and click even if it gets dropped say half a hundred times. anything for less then $30?

only the new mouses i have break actually. the problem is the real old ones were PS/2 or they were in some other way bad(no scroll wheel)

the new mouse' are designed obsolescence like so many other things. they give you a warranty for x amount of time because the product will last x+1 day.

If you're dropping them from 2+ stories, maybe. Mice are probably the most simple device that gets hooked up to a computer. They last for ages.

I use the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000. Also, stop ragethrowing/smashing your mice. it's not their fault you suck at games.

What's the size on that one? Also is the scroll wheel fluid (non-clicky) like the stupid Wireless Mouse 5000's?

These were the shit back in the days. All the CS pros were using it so naturally I had it as well.
I abused mine for years and it never broke.

$40 is a bit high though. They used to be a lot less(at least over here)

its more an OCD thing with the right click where i clean it with my shirt and it ends up breaking the click, that or pressing it down to hard in a similar OCD type thing. then there was the wireless that got broken in airport security/handling which was on me for not taking it in my carry on.

never thrown a mouse/controller/remote control in my life thought i have dropped the mouse a few times. defiantly going to look into that mouse Uber posted.

Uber you hear anything about the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105161&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Mouse-_-Microsoft-_-26105161

much cheaper and its newer.

I have one from 2005 cos I prefer Optical and it still works fine, wouldn't trade it. Had newer ones that don't last though, poor quality these days I guess.

I guess it's standard mouse size... probably 3 inches long? Not one of those mini laptop mice if that's what you mean. And yeah the scrolling is fluid. Also the rubber part on the scroll wheel came off after like 3-4 months of owning it >_< It works fine without it though, so whatever.

Yeah the fluid wheel sucks for games since changing weapons/whatnot usually ends up being a nightmare.
