Wireless mouse buying advice

**BarcaMagic** · 02-17-2009, 09:53 AM

I need wireless mouse with a range of at least 15 ft .I have my laptop connected to my tv and i want to operate it from my living room table .Tv is about 10 to 12 ft from table .I tried few from best buy but they have poor range.

I have an older Belkin one that supposedly has up to 30ft range. I'd say it'd definitely be good from 15ft... It's pretty old, too. Maybe give one of the newer Belkin ones a try?

I tries few logitech but they have poor range .I ended up buying this one off of ebay for $40 .Same one is $70 to $80 at radio shack and walmart.

^Looks good, man. Sort of large style like mine is, too.

Also, I can't believe it has 1GB of flash memory. Cool...

Logitech G7 Wireless Laser mouse with 2.4gHz technology. I had one and it was great with incredible range.

Logitech G7
Newegg.com - Logitech G7 Black 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB RF Wireless Laser 2000 dpi Mouse - Mouse

My girlfriend bought me this for my birthday and I absolutely LOVE this mouse. It has 2 L-Ion batteries and a charge station. The station has a USB port so you can charge one battery while using the other. It is form fitting if you are right handed, comfortable, smooth, customizable buttons. There isn't anything that I don't love about this mouse.

NeoNightmareX, everytime I see your siggy I want to throw my router through the wall.

**NeoNightmareX** · 02-18-2009, 09:01 PM

Haha, it's at my college (well university now). With tuition this expensive, the internet had better be this fast.

I get tops of 160 kb/s down and like 50/kb/s up. My router is from 1996. :'(

They had routers back in 1996???

Apparently so, but back on topic. The G7 gets like a 20+ foot range and that was through a closed door. I was doing this to show off to my friend who said his mouse was better. It wasn't.

I would go with a bluetooth mouse. Those will have the best range and least interference. I have a Microsoft bluetooth mouse and keyboard comba from a few years ago and it works great.
