Mouse

The computer has now taken on a real assistant role for many of us. This appliance allows us to carry out different types of work quickly and simplified. A good PC is generally seen in the quality of the components. Peripherals supplied by retailers allow you to bring high-performance terminals home. For this reason it is necessary to carefully evaluate which brand you buy. Among the various hardware components we find the mouse, indispensable to start programs or confirm selections and actions of different nature. Currently, on the market we find different types of mice, from the classic one (called optical) and the wireless one. Let us dwell specifically on the latter category. There are really practical and efficient models, which even allow us to occupy the USB port in a not too intrusive way. Below we will find some practical tips to follow when buying a new PC or in case of a simple replacement of the old mouse that is no longer used. So let's see how to choose a wireless mouse properly. We will obviously have to adapt this object to our needs, therefore we will follow specific criteria and go here.

1. Design

It is important that you think about what you will use the mouse before buying.

Standard mice without additional features in plain plastic design are especially suitable for homes where the computer is used slowly. They are cheaper and available in a variety of designs and designs.

If you are looking for an office mouse or for everyday home use, the ergonomic mouse with additional features will make your work easier and more enjoyable. Choose the right design and colour that best fits your computer or laptop. You can also choose the design - whether it fits well rubberised, durable metal or classic plastic.

If you are a passionate player, a mouse is one of the things that determines your game score. Gaming mice are more accurate and faster, responsive to every command you have, and have additional features such as backlight, resolution, or programmable buttons that are essential for every right player.

2. Laser or optical?

The main difference between laser and optical mouse is accuracy.

Laser mice are much more accurate than optical mice because they work with a higher sensor resolution, of course, it depends on the resolution of the particular model. Another advantage is that laser mice can work on almost all types of surfaces, while optical mice are particularly problematic for smooth surfaces such as glass or lacquered wood.

The advantage of optical mouse is mainly low price and wide availability.

3. Wired or wireless?

Wireless mice are more practical especially if you use your mouse with a laptop or work at home from the sofa, then you can fully enjoy the mobility and comfort of a wireless device. The advantage is, of course, the complete absence of cables and connection via bluetooth or miniature USB receiver. It is often mentioned as a disadvantage that you have to change batteries frequently, but this is no longer true with modern devices. The latest mouse models can work with a single battery for up to 12 months thanks to energy-saving technologies.

In contrast, wired mice are particularly suitable for players. The game is always about speed, accuracy and additional programmable features, and that's exactly what powerful gaming USB mice provide. You can also use a standard wired mouse perfectly for a classic home computer or office where the computer is fixed.

4. Ergonomics and comfort

Whether you use your computer for work, entertainment, active or only occasionally, comfort is important. Ergonomic mice are designed to fit perfectly in every hand and provide comfortable and comfortable grip for long hours of work or fun.

We recommend that you choose a mouse that has the “ergonomic” parameter in the description to avoid discomfort, cramps, and hand pain when using your computer for a long time.

5. Resolution

Mouse resolution is mainly a question of accuracy, the higher the resolution, the more accurately the mouse will respond to hand movement.

Undemanding users will also need a lower resolution of 800 to 1600 dpi.

However, if you are working with a graphics editor or other specialized software, mice with a higher adjustable resolution of 3000 dpi or more are more suitable for you.

Players will most appreciate the mouse with the resolution switch function on the mouse. This feature allows players to achieve optimum speed during action and perfect aiming accuracy.

6. Size

Wired, wireless, gaming, ergonomic, classic. All these types of mice are manufactured in different sizes. We recommend choosing the mouse size according to two criteria: hand size and usage. Of course, if you have big hands, a miniature mouse will give you great mobility, but working with such a mouse will be a misery for you. Therefore, we recommend that you always try your mouse and choose the right model that will give you the right comfort.

According to the use we distinguish mainly mice, which are in the "mini" version and fit especially with laptops. We offer mini mice of every category, whether ergonomic, classic or the smallest, which fit for example with a netbook.

7. Additional buttons and other functions

These mouse functions are again a question of use. The extra buttons are especially useful when working with multimedia and the Internet or playing games.
