ACK!
My mouse just broke. Now I have to use my old one.
Does anybody know of any small mice, preferably optical, that will work for longer than a month without fizzling on me?
I can't use full-sized ones very well because I have small hands. Which is rather ironic compared to my height...
Hooray, I'm stuck with my old unwieldy mouse for now.

I really don't know what to say, as most small mice are either expensive or horrendously crappy in construction. I've been using the same mouse for ages. It's a Microsoft Blue optical mouse, not wireless, and it's a great one. But it's normal sized.

It was wierd my mouse just broke a week ago, and since I haven't bought a new mouse in 3 years I figured I'd buy the same kind with the little rubber ball, and I found out they don't sell them anymore. I got one of those logitech opti scan ones for $15 and it works fine. It is nice and small too.

Cool.
$15 is right in my price range too!

I have two. But one is next to useless since since the lead is so short and the USB ports are on the left hand side of the computer so to use my hand has to be round the back of it. But it is small,

Do you still have the rubber ball?

I don't think so, I think the garbage man already took it away. But since I live in squalor I'll telegram you if I find it, it might be lying around my messy apartment somewhere. I shudder to think what purpose you might have in mind for it.

I said it in all seriousness too, which makes it worse (I think).

Damn my no-sleep befuddled mind.
