Mouse

In keeping up with the tradition of writing about electronic devices, my next topic is my mouse. My previous mouse was a Logitech MX 310 which served me well for a good 5 years before I broke it. For my next mouse I decided to stick with logitech and buy the standard Logitech Optical USB Mouse.

I was first bothered with the fact that unlike the MX 310, this mouse didn't have buttons on the left and right side, which were convenient for going back and forward while browsing the web. It wasn't until the 3rd week of use that I noticed that there were little arrows to the left and right of the scroll wheel, meaning the scroll wheel was afforded a left tilt and a right tilt. With some third-party software I was able to program these tilts to go back and forward and it is actually easier than it was with my previous mouse as my pointer finger naturally rests on the scroll wheel

    This even applies to mice
