Gamers favor laser mice for their precision and sensitivity. Most low-cost mice these days are optical models with an LED in place of a trackball. (Pricier wireless mice use Bluetooth.)Ĭomputer mice rely on a variety of different technologies to track their movement. The receivers that come with cheaper models also occupy prime real estate that could be used for other USB peripherals. However, it’s likely to be more expensive than an equivalent corded mouse, even before you factor in the cost of repeatedly replacing the battery (or batteries).
It’s also easy to transport and use while you're on the go. With the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500, your transceiver stays in your mobile PC when you go and the mouse works on more surfaces with Microsoft BlueTrack Technology. ( Where to buy)Ī wireless mouse can move unfettered by a cord and keep your workplace uncluttered. For all its bells and whistles, though, this is a traditional corded mouse. This is a laser mouse that appeals to gamers with its responsive performance.
It curries favor with consumers for more than just its ultralow price. The Kensington Mouse in a Box K72356US (starting at $6) is a basic, two-button mouse with a scroll wheel that connects to a computer with a USB cord.
Since Google Chrome's scrolling worked as-expected with the Microsoft Mobile mouse, that's enough evidence to suspect that it has something to do with the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" application that decides to install itself with most Microsoft Mouse/Keyboard Hardware. Previously, a USB mouse was attached to the device, and the scroll wheel functioned correctly.
yet scrolling with the scroll wheel fails to work properly in Windows Explorer, Notepad, and even the Windows Volume control.In fact, scrolling is perfectly fine in the web browsers (Google Chrome, Internet Explorer),.
The conclusion can be drawn from the troubleshooting methods failing to fix the device is that it appeared to not be an issue with the registry, nor the physical hardware itself. Nothing seemed to work to fix the delayed/slow scrolling with the Microsoft Mouse.
