The Differnece between $10 mouse and $60 mouse?

Question

My optic computer mouse is starting to stick. I want to buy another. I went to the store but some are 10 bucks and some 60 bucks. What should I be looking for in a good computer mouse.
Is a wireless worth the money..why do you need wireless??

Answer 1

if u are a gamer go with the 60 dollar mouse
wired mice are more usefull because they are more precise, dont run out of battery, and are cheaper.

if u just use your computer for everyday uses -word processing, surfing , etc get the cheaper one-

First I would try either compressed air or a vacuum to clean the laser port on the bottom of your existing optical mouse.

As for the new mice you saw at the store, there really won't be a lot of difference in the basic functioning of the optical mice. The more expensive mice likely will have more buttons or programmable buttons. Personally I probably wouldn't buy the absolute cheapest mouse you can find. You do get what you pay for to a certain point. I'd invest a little more money and look for a mouse in the $20 to $30 range.

If you don't already know of a specific reason for a wireless mouse, then you don't need one. The are primarily for convenience or for situations where the PC will be more than six feet (or the length of the mouse cable) from your desk. The doesn't happen very often.

cheap ones- buttons on cheap ones dont last long as it is the most used part of the mouse.
easilly breaks when falls on the floor. (i have 2 of them)
low mouse speed commonly expressed less correctly as dots per inch (DPI)— the number of steps the mouse will report when it moves one inch. cheap ones is only 400 to 800 dpi while high end usually goes to 2000dpi.
maybe uses ball which is cheaper not optical or lazer.
less image-processing power also have problems tracking fast movement, though high-end mice can track at 2 m/s (80 inches per second) and faster.
Some models of laser mice can track on glossy and transparent surfaces, and have a much higher sensitivity than either their mechanical or optical counterparts. Such models of laser mice cost more than both their LED based counterparts and mechanical mice.
marketers often mislabel these LED optical mice as laser mice, confusing them with true laser mice.
Optical models will outperform mechanical mice on uneven, slick, soft, sticky, or loose surfaces, and generally in mobile situations lacking mouse pads. Because optical mice render movement based on an image which the LED illuminates, use with multi-colored mousepads may result in unreliable performance; however, laser mice do not suffer these problems and will track on such surfaces.

highend mouse- Embed more powerful special-purpose image-processing chips in the mouse itself. This advance enabled the mouse to detect relative motion on a wide variety of surfaces, translating the movement of the mouse into the movement of the pointer and eliminating the need for a special mouse-pad. This advance paved the way for widespread adoption of optical mice.

extra buttons may allow forward and backward web-navigation, scrolling through a browser's history, or other functions, including mouse related functions like quick-changing the mouse's resolution/sensitivity.
Some newer mouse models have two wheels, separately assigned to horizontal and vertical scrolling. Designs exist which make use of a "rocker" button instead of a wheel — a pivoting button that a user can press at the top or bottom, simulating "up" and "down" respectively.
A third variety of built-in scrolling device, the scroll ball, essentially consists of a trackball embedded in the upper surface of the mouse. The user can scroll in all possible directions in very much the same way as with the actual mouse, and in some mice, can use it as a trackball.

wireless is not worth it.unless you have a big 30 inch monitor so you can work from afar.it uses more electricity. and some has batteries. wireless makes your table less clutter.

Optics going stick? Vacuum it first. The packaging (box and software and buttons not just box) is different but otherwise all optical mouse same, so is true to every other HID in each category.

Going $30 would get you a decent one. Wireless is not worth it I say.

Answer 5

No you dont NEED a wireless.....but I have been using mine now for over a year and I won't go back to a wired one. The difference is this....$10.00 is going to get you a mouse, that will last for a while. $60.00 is going to get you a mouse, with extra buttons faster surfing, with the click back button and less cords to deal with or shake in the air to keep out of the way.

Answer 6

A mouse is smaller than a rat that is far better. in a lot of circumstances rats are available for your position, mouse do not run round everywhere, so if one critter bumped into your position it could be a Rat.

Answer 7

yes they work a lot longer and are a lot better then byeing 6 10 dollar mouses

Answer 8

I have been using a $9.00 mouse for five years and never gave me any problem, so save the $50.00 and go for the $10.00 one.

Answer 9

50 bux

Answer 10

all mouse are the same. unless you are a gamer and require a quick response mouse. wirless mouses just make it convienent
