Does anyone else here in the forum have a cordless mouse? The red light on mine is flashing, and I'm wondering if it's time to change the batteries or what.

You have to use batteries? Time to get a mouse with a cord.

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever understand why somebody would spend money on a cordless mouse or keyboard. How far away from your computer monitor are you reeeeeally going to go? Seriously, unless you have a 60" monitor, you're sitting no more than a foot or two away from your computer. No need for a cordless anything.
Aye. Most of the time I never use the wireless function on my PS3..cuz.. WHY?! You'd have a few extra milliseconds lag, if the battery runs low during a multiplayer game you cant just pause.. ya gotta plug it back in and.. ::shrug:: Whatever. But a cordless mouse is just pushing it. Like a cordless keyboard. Blame apple computers for pushing the 'PC = profusely corded, profoundly complex, phorget cords' bullshit.
I kept wearing those out.You have to use batteries? Time to get a mouse with a cord.
This what I use, but it doesn't show the battery cover. I can't get the f'ing cover off to replace the batteries.

I use a cordless mouse on my laptop, because the little touch pads on laptops suck ass!
Sorry about that, Maleonetwo.
OK, so maybe you want to get up and walk around with your keyboard, keep getting the mouse cord tangled up when you are gaming... but you know the most useless cordless device? the wireless printer. why the hell would you ever need to print something in a different room than your computer?

Wait a few days, if it stops working then, yea it was time to change the batteries. Easy way to fix that, turn the mouse upside down, put some electrical tape over the red glowing part, never need to change batteries ever again!
I have 4 wireless mice and 1 wireless keyboard. They are great especially with a laptop where I can run the mouse down the armrest of big chair. You can snap the transmitter in the underside of the mouse and carry it easily. The single battery lasts a good long time in all but my oldest one.
I usually find despite Windows bogus warnings that I need a new battery on one of them, it lasts for months. Usually and suddenly the mouse gets sluggish or jumps around a bit when it needs a change.

If you have several computers, and try to print, you have to have the one hardwired to the printer turned on unless you use a network printer.
In example, if you sit outside with a laptop, and want to print, you have to go back in and turn on the PC controlling the printer. Otherwise, only the printer needs to be on.
but if you were using a wireless printer, you'd still have to have the computer on that was routed to the printer, it doesn't make a difference if it's wireless in that case... unless you had all your computers routed to the printer, which would be the same again as having them all on a network. In fact it would be really dumb to have them only routed to the printer, but not networked to each other since it would take the same amount of effort and be a lot more effective. Most people that have multiple computers have them networked for that very reason, why wouldn't you?
you'd still have to go back inside and into the other room to retrieve the document(s) that you just printed out, so it once again isn't really any more effective than having a cable connection, other than the fact it saves you about 2 seconds of plugging it in.
Ok, so I can kind of see the point of having all this stuff for a laptop, but it's kind of stupid. the whole point of a laptop is that it's not connected to any other hardware. If you want it to be, then just get a desktop. But I suppose people want to have both in one, so that's why they do it, but it still seems unnecessary to me.
Rtfm!

Rock on. Now click some bewbs and test the accuracy.
But he threw it away when he bought it! lol! N1
Laptops arent even laptops anymore. Sure you can lug one around and it's a portable computer... but who actually *needs* one? More business.. not so much soccer moms. I think AFFA needs it cuz he runs dis bish.
This whole wireless thing is overrated IMO. But if people want to transmit their personal data all over the place, use up battery power and spend more, who are we to ask them.. 'Why?!' lol!
