Thanks, Ray. There is a facility on the MS mice to increase the scroll speed which can be made to have a similar effect, but it's fixed in the software, you can't vary it from the mouse itself.

This is done in software on the Logitech as well and there is an automatic mode where you can select which applications you want to use it in. The scroll speed is varied by the speed you move the scroll wheel at so you can go slowly if you want or straight to the end of your page very fast. 

[Rik]

In that case, Ray, it sounds very similar to the MS approach.

[Glenn]

I believe a lot of MS mice are made by logitech

[Rik]

It wouldn't surprise me, and Logitech mice are made by some unknown Chinese firm.

[Ray]

It does, Rik, this is the settings tab for scrolling it might give you a better idea of the options.

Similar but a bit more refined, Ray.

This is actually the mouse that I've got. The free-wheel function is great, the faster you spin the wheel the faster it goes. I also like the five programmable buttons. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/165&cl=gb,en

I always have trouble remembering what I programmed them to do.

The only downside to the Logitech software that I've found (as I've used Logitech mice for about 5 years now) is that if you check for updates via the program it NEVER finds them. You have to check their site for them, which strikes me as being a bit silly.

I brought myself a new mouse today, a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser 6000 model 69K-00001, because I was getting RSI across the back of my hand. I must say it is the most comfortable mouse I have used, it does not twist your hand when in use, the whole forearm/hand stays in it's natural posture.

How do you feel about it after a few days use, Glenn?

I treated myself to this a few weeks ago for a new computer I built to integrate within my Media Centre.  Hence, the wireless facility.

I like it a lot and you can't  really complain about the price. 

I had that, the shift key is tiny on the keyboard now I have a laptop I use a Microsoft wireless dongel with the mouse from that setup which is very comfortable, becuase my laptop is so big, its a desk top replacement type with an 18.4 inch 1080p screen the mouse is the perfect size and fits my right hand perfectly I do not bother with the Microsoft drivers though. not for a mouse and it works fine as is.

My hand likes it, it doesn't ache as much, so using the mouse with the correct posture must help. Batteries are meant to last up to 6 months which means the running cost are low too.

[Rik]

Thanks. I'll give one a whirl. I notice one of the reviews said the wireless dongle was very large, do you think that's true?

[Glenn]

It's larger than the base of the mouse

[Rik]

Does it have a lead, or does it plug in directly to a socket?

[Glenn]

It has an approx 2m USB lead.

[Rik]

Thanks. Ordered.

I have a small menagerie of Logitech MX-580 and their larger brother, G-5. They are good for people with big hands, and I like lots of buttons. The back/forward thing from nudging the wheel mouse left and right is a neat trick too.

[Rik]

I use the tilt wheel quite a bit on my MS mice.

We have just had a couple of theses delivered at work today, the mouse is very similar to the 6000 Rik has ordered.

[Rik]

I thought I'd ordered the same mouse as you, Glenn?

[Glenn]

You have   it was just easier to relate to your post rather than the start of the thread.
