  Old  Optical mouse

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a new optical mouse.
I've been using the MX518 so far, and I really liked it, but after little more then a year (just missed the warrant by a month or something) it doesn't work anymore.
It just blocks. I tried it in USB and PS2 on 2 different computers, it just freezes after a while.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm not sure if I want to buy another logitech mouse.

Oh btw, i hate wireless, so that's not an option.

Thanks!

That's the one I have... it's smooth and it's a great mouse to use!

Thanks for suggestion!

My Logitech MX500 has lasted over 4 years, and still going strong. It is so good that with my latest upgrade I am going to keep it.

You can go past the Logitech G5
It's the best wired mouse ever, it around $80 NZ so i think its $50 in the States, not sure bout Europe, maybe 40 euros?

Nah, I don't like those MS mouses, and it looks kinda old. And the MX 500 is also even older then the 518.

I think i'll just go with the g5 as Matsta sugested.

Thanks for all the replys!
