mouse brand recommendation needed
I used to use an HP mouse, simple 3-button optical with scroll wheel, that was perfect even with the default Windows mouse drivers, until the left button went bad. I picked up what Walmart had- a Logitech M100.
This has driven me up the wall since I started using it.
It is useless with default MS drivers and the Logitech setpoint thing is annoying as can be. I can never get things set up the way I like them. It's either too slow or too fast no matter what, even with mouse acceleration on the pointer still never feels right. I have to check the option to disable acceleration in games otherwise the mouse zooms everywhere, and then it still acts slow. I had to crank in-game mouse speed settings up quite high to get the mouse to do anything useful and it still feels sluggish. And to just be even more annoying, Setpoint has trouble determining what is an actual GAME and programs like Photoshop activate game mode so I get a mouse that's slow as a snail.
Now I have that HP mouse somewhere, if I can dig it out to get the model ID I'll buy another of that if they're still for sale anywhere, otherwise, can anyone suggest a good $10-$15 USB mouse that isn't going to frustrate me to no end? I don't need some expensive gaming mouse, just a basic desktop PC mouse, preferably one that runs well on the MS drivers.
