Computer Mouse Review

There is a computer mouse for every need. Left hand, right hand, small or large, USB or not, trackball, laser, with wheel, wireless, etc...

A very vast choice for every mouse types are found in computer stores. It is easy to get lost when facing so many choices. There might be a mouse you never saw before or even know it exists and could be just what you was looking for.

I created this review so peoples can have a better idea of all kinds of mice found on the market. Throughout the page you will find pictures of mice with a general description and pro and cons if any.

Rollerball Mouse

Rollerball Mouse

The rollerball mouse is defined by its rolling ball stuck inside by the closing ring. It is the first mouse ever created for desktop computer. It had 2 or 3 buttons. The ball was rolling on 2 to 3 rotating rods by moving the mouse naturally on the desk or a mouse pad. Not very sophisticated, but it was effective, especially when the mouse wheel has been introduced to ease scrolling long pages of text.

Pros:The only good aspect of this old mouse was the introduction of the mouse wheel.

Cons: The ball gets easily dirty making the mouse to slide instead of rolling.When the mouse is moved, the dust on the ball is transfered in part to the rotating rods. When there is too much accumulation, the ball does not roll anymore being stuck by the dust on the rods.

Optical Computer Mouse and Laser Computer Mouse

Optical And Laser Mouse

A new age began with the introduction of optical mice. The end of the rolling ball stuck by the dust. As you can see on the image, the ball has been replaced by a LED. Instead of being rolled, the mouse is slid and can be used on almost any surfaces with great ease. Mouse pads are no more needed if the surface used is of light color.

La lumière venant de l'oeil, le rebond de la surface utilisée, ensuite une peinture est capturée d'une caméra petite à l'intérieur de la souris et analysée par un signal numérique. Le signal reconnaît les différentes peintures en déplaçant la souris et les interprète en déplaçant le curseur sur l'écran.

Few years later, the laser mouse came out offering better accuracy. The laser mouse can do a better picture with more details, thus creating greater accuracy.

Pros: Great accuracy making now the joy of every gamers and the end of rollerball mice. Better accuracy on laser mouse.

Wireless Computer Mouse Also Called Cordless Mouse

Wireless Mouse

Finally, no more wires in the way. That mouse uses radio frequency to communicate from the transmitter inside the mouse to a receiver installed on the computer.

In general the mouse requires 2 batteries easy to change by removing a small plate, like the one found on remote controls.

Pros: No more worries about the wire being in the way. The signal passes through objects making the choice by excellence for laptop and notebook lovers.

Cons: A small lag can be perceived while playing games and it can become frustrating when you have to change the batteries if you do not have any left.

Trackball Mouse

Interesting idea for overcoming the dust problem. Instead of being under the mouse, the ball is on the top. Trackball mice are stationary and the cursor is moved by manipulating the ball with the hand. It takes some times to get used of these mice, but after a while, the accuracy come with ease.

Usually mice like these have more than 2 buttons creating interesting new possibilities not seen before.

Pros: Ideal for small desks and interesting possibilities if more than 2 buttons.

Cons: It takes some times to get used of it.
