I have a logitech VX nano from 2007 that is on its way out. I am secretly happy about it; I never should have forced my hand to deal with its tiny size. I was just too stubborn/cheap to replace it. I am staring at specifications for three mice: Original MS Arc mouse (lol?) $25! MS wireless laser mouse 7000 $23.50!!! Logitech M705 $38  They are all quite a bit larger than the VX nano, which I am happy about. I am not a gamer. This is for linux so I don't care about any horrible software these might "require" in Windows. I would like a back button, and I have grown to like the "free wheel" that the VX nano has. I cannot confirm/deny that MS mice do this? Is the Arc mouse a joke? I am a sucker for a good gimmick :/.

NihilCredo posted:If you want the freewheel you're stuck with Logitech. I definitely mind the cable :p. The Arc is on its way, see if I can live with a clicker. I can always return it. . . and if it is nice I can get another for my Pa who has a new laptop to contend with.

Well, I got the Arc mouse today. Not so impressed. The size is nice, but it is almost too light! Needs more meat! And yeah. . . shocked how much I miss the fly wheel.

I traded in the Microsoft Arc mouse for a Logitech M705. It is simple, full sized, and has a flywheel. The left/right clicks are very loud >. It feels a wee bit cheap, and the flywheel rattles if you jerk the mouse. You middle click with the mouse wheel, and a clunky button behind the wheel switches between flywheel and clickwheel mode. I would prefer having the button behind the wheel do a middle click, so you avoid accidentally moving the wheel while clicking. Oh well. It is good enough. The batteries are supposed to last a very long time. . .

Sorry if this is the wrong place but does anyone have a recommendation for an air mouse? I don't need any fancy features but I do need something with a good range. The one I have now drops connectivity every few seconds and it drives me nuts.
