Bit of a gimmick or worth a look?

Microshaft Vs. Logitech.

I have the Logitech too. Works very wellm though I don't like the feel of the keyboard (I prefer the old IBM-type clicky ones).

The mouse goes through batteries like a dose of salts though, so I suggest you get a good stock in!

I got a MS Intelimoose explerer @work - accidentally - I wanted a corded optical.

Huge mistake - its too heavy, the side buttons on the side are too high and ITS NOT ACCURATE.

All told crap !

Packard Bell have a very smart cordless rechargable mouse with a desktop charger included, I paid 70 quid, but sure it was on a special for £50 at PC World.

Not good for playing games as there is a slight delay compared with "normal mice" Fine for desktop etc, but don't do it if you are a serious gamer.
