Yea the basic driver is good enough,
I personally would uninstall it from your programs
Then just a heads up click no if it ever pops up wanting to install

It never has yet, but I'll remember if it does.

Linux mint mate 17.1 is installed
Not bad worst part is Firefox
Might have to use opera or something else to see how they remember page zoom and screen size :/

 

[kado897]

Chromium is OK in Mint.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep it finally installed and works

15.us yikes don't expect much

 

[Chuck38]

No, I'm not expecting too much. I just need something to get me through the rest of the school year and then I might get something nicer.

I keep forgetting to get a new mouse
I just ordered and new hdd 256 Hitachi and pny 64 gb flash drive from amazon :/
64gb is for a Linux mate 17.1 rescue install
256 gb is for 10tp next version
Both were about 60.us

This is the one I bought last month. So far it looks good. Logitech MX Anywhere Mouse (Tracks on Glass): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

 

[ThrashZone]

That's a good one But I despise wireless stuff,
I just added this one to my order,
Amazon.com: Redragon Perdition 16400 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse for PC, MMO, 18 Programmable Buttons, Weight Tuning Cartridge, 12 Side Buttons, 5 programmable user profiles, Omron Micro Switches: Computers & Accessories

 

[kado897]

Looks good but I'm not into gaming so a wireless mouse is my choice. i have enough wires floating around anyway.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep I'm just not looking for another object to keep charged
I don't game either but willing to learn some time

 

[kado897]

There is that but it lasts for 2 to 3 weeks with 2 AA rechargeable batteries. That's twice as long as the IBM bluetooth mouse it replaced. It doesn't come with rechargeable batteries but I only use those now.

I use multiple Logitech Wireless devices on my main system, (2 Mice, 2 Keyboards, plus a Trackball) - all through a single Unifying controller, (plus I have a Wacom Pen with touch), just out of interest I just put a new, (cheap) AA battery in to my M570 Trackball and I estimates 82 Days use, based on my normal usage, (8-12 Hours a day 7 Days a week )

 

[ThrashZone]

Darn that's pretty cool Nigel
Amazon.com: Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball: Electronics

 

[Barman58]

I find it an essential, It allows me to actually work from my Sofa - on a 39" LED screen

Jeez, I hate wireless keyboards and mice. My current company speced them for all users and now I spend about 25% of my time replacing damn batteries. Not to mention disposing of all those used batteries is a pain.

I'm sticking with my wired, lit Logitech keyboard and I just ordered a wired G302 Daedalus Prime mouse to replace my MS gaming mouse (the super soft grippy wheel has started to disintegrate). I mostly go for the gaming mice because I like having the forward/back thumb buttons for my web browsing.
