Default Best Cordless Mouse??
I have a tremor that is progressive in nature, and my hand control is well, getting out of control.

I've been using the Logtech cordless, but I burn through them sometimes in just months.

What are some other choices that you could recommend, that might last longer?

I've been using the high end Logitech MX series for years. I use mine 10-12 hours a day and they last a long time.

Thank you very much!

I got away from Logitech stuff a few years back when the failure rate went way up, i wasn't buying the cheapos either so... Switched to Jelly Comb cheap mouse one day as needed something, been 3 almost 4 years now and the 2 I have still going strong. I don't have the connection issues Logitech was givig me either.

This is going to upset a few people, but I've been using the latest Apple Mouse for everything. Damn thing is bullet proof, works off bluetooth, and you recharge it off of the usb port on the computer. I have one that's 5 years old that I'm using with my MS Surface Book right now.

Thanks guys!

I ordered the new Logtech, and I'm really hoping the thumb support helps my "tuning fork fingers" settle down! Maybe this will keep me from multi hits?

Getting old is not for the faint of heart!

Have you tried weighted gloves to help with shaking?

Only a 16oz mug so far!

I can see the need some day, though.

You will like this mouse a lot. It's USB chargeable, and can go for about a week between charges. I have 3 of these things...one for each notebook and one for my tower. Its optics are amazing, as I can use it on my black GLASS desktop without a mouse pad.

Agree with the Wiz. My choice is the MX Vertical. Seems to be the right fit and reduces fatigue.

I just bought a new Magic Mouse for use with my MacBook Pro. The old one was battery operated, and went through batteries like crazy. Also kept on disconnecting which made work more challenging. New one works great!

My desk is glass and the mice I have don't work on it.

I second this! I have a clear glass desktop and it works perfectly without a pad. It's very configurable too so you can enable/disable the additional buttons/controls easily.

We've been using them for a few years; much better than the earlier AA battery powered model, which seemed to disconnect frequently for no reason.

If a mouse requires external batteries, you are using the wrong mouse.

I have a Deathadder V2. The cord is great as its cover is designed to "slip" so it doesn't get caught on stuff.
