Logitech MX600 cordless laser mouse is considered to be the improved wireless version of MX400.It keeps the traditional Logitech design, but this time it is a bit different, twisted somehow, so that the mouse could be more ergonomic and comfortable to use, even after long hours of using it. The size is perfect, fitting the palm of your hand in a comfortable way. The design is nice and ergonomic and you even have a thumb rest area and comfortable rubberized grips. The scroll wheel is also rubberized in order to avoid slipping.

It is amazing because of its simplicity. When you first look at it , you have the impression that it is minimalistic, but it actually has a lot of buttons that you can use by default or programme them to perform any functions you consider fit. Of course, there are the two traditional left and right click mouse buttons and the scroll wheel between them that also tilts to the sides for a horizontal scrolling.

Then there are the buttons on the left side of the mouse that are being operated by the thumb. The two buttons situated right on the thumb rest are usually used as back and forth buttons. But there are three additional buttons on the left edge of the mouse that, if you use them by default, will zoom in, zoom out and zoom 100%. However, if you do not use the zoom so much, that is if you are not interested in editing photos or something similar, you can always reprogramme them, for example to act like media buttons, performing the play/pause, volume up and volume down functions.

Logitech MX 600 cordless laser mouse is of course cordless. That is why it needs a receiver that connects to the USB or PS2 port of your computer. The wireless communication is made through 2.4 GHz radio frequency signals, the receiver getting the signals instantly due to the flawless responsiveness and state-of -the art laser technology. The laser sensor is very precise and works on all kinds of surfaces, even on glass, which is obviously superior to all the optical computer mice I have ever seen.

Being wireless means that this mouse works on batteries, two AA batteries to more exact. But they can last for a long time as the smooth moves of the mouse reduce friction and also the battery consumption. Because you don't want to be caught in the middle of some important work when the batteries go down, you have an optical warning, that is the green LED situated on top of the mouse blinks when the batteries are going down and you need to change them. This mouse is very useful and handy and also comfortable and offers a high quality for a good price. You can use it for all mousing activities and get the best results. If you are interested, you can get it from any online store for a price between $25-50, depending on the offer. For example you can order one here for $50.

I like jokes and caricatures, I like comedies and generally I like all funny things because they make me laugh and that feels nice. And when this funny thing is surrounded by a witty sarcasm and irony I can only enjoy it better. I am wearing a t-shirt that says :"Newton is dead, Einstein is dead and I 'm not feeling very well". So you understand why I really love funny and ironic mouse pads that have a message on. And the message does not necessarily mean that it has to be read by the person is addresses. It's more like talking to yourself or asking a rhetorical question.



So I surfed the internet this morning looking for a couple of funny mouse pads to make my day. I know I could have picked up some others, but I prefered these two because I am only human , so I am subjective and I liked them most.

The first one is like a message to Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and the father of Windows operating system. The message is :"If Bill Gates had a nicle for every time Windows crashed ... Oh, wait, he does." It's pure and simple irony. It refers to the fact that Bill Gates earned a lot of money from producing Windows operating system. But we all know that. Now you must read between the lines and understand the actual meaning intended here: Bill Gates probably has so much money exactly because his Windows operating system crashes a lot , so it's not a good product, but he sells it any way and his fortune is based on this. And if you pay even more attention you can see the penguin above the message written on the mouse pad and everybody knows this is the mascot for Ubuntu Operating system, produced by Linux, a rival software company for Microsoft.



If we are talking about fun mouse pads and software companies let's talk about Mac. You all know that the representation of a bitten apple is the symbol of Apple Computers, right? Well, what could be funnier than having a Mac computer at home and getting and Apple mouse pad as a gift for your birthday? I think it's nice and funny and I really like the colour. The shape is extraordinarily well designed and now it's about pure but funa advertising. It's not necessary to spell the name (Apple computers) anywhere because people will just know the minute they see your mouse pad.



Besides from the funny effect these mouse pads must be functional, too, because otherwise they end up in the trash. The first one is a regular square mouse pad and the second one has an irregular shape of a bitten apple. They are both made of isoprene foam that is very resistant to heat and stain and also washable. They both have a rubber backing to prevent then from slipping oof the desk while you are mousing. They are personalized mouse pads with a message on and if you want to change the message just upload your photo version and you can have your mouse pad in no time. The other one if offered as a gift to Apple customers on special occasions like Christmas.

Maybe we should purchase these fun mouse pads to make us smile every day or maybe we should remember how to do this without them.

Ever since the computer industry has evolved so much as to be included in every single field of activity, more and more people have spent their time behind a computer desk, doping their jobs on the computer as a normal everyday task. But using the computer keyboard and mouse for so many hours every day has come to be a demanding job and now results are showing: a lot of people working on computers at work and at home have developed occupational illnesses that are directly related to the use of computer mouse.

You may wonder why the sudden preoccupation for ergonomics, as the computer mouse has been around for about fourty years? Well, the computer mouse was indeed invented in the 1960s and patented in 1971, but it was used only by very few people who worked in research. And even then computer mice were used only at work and only for a very short time every day.

It was in the late 1980s that the computers began to be more popular and affordable and began to spread. Now computers are as common a site at home and at the office as the telephone or the TV set. There is barely one home without a computer in it , except of course the less developed countries.

And, of course, nowadays computers and computer mice are used for both work related things and personal and recreational purposes. And, as you know, everything coming in big quantities is bad. That's exactly what I am trying to say here.

If you use the computer mouse regularly but in decent dosages nothing bad will happen to you. But if you exaggerate, you can get some computer related illness like the Repetitive Stress Injuries. They are : carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, cold hands syndrome, De Quervain's disease, strained wrists and many others. They all affect you pretty badly.

So the question now is what to do to avoid getting hurt and having RSI? Well, the most effective thing would be to stop using the computer mouse. But this is not an option when you work in front of a computer all day long and you get pretty much money for that, too.

Then you should try using an ergonomic computer mouse. There are many different types of ergonomic computer mice on the market, each claiming to be the best. You can choose from: The Evoluent vertical ergonomic mouse, the Quill ergonomic mouse, the pen mouse, the 3M , the Zero tension mouse, the finger mouse and many other models.

They all have one purpose in mind: to make mousing a relaxed and natural movement that won't affect people's health. In fact that's what ergonomics is about: adjusting the objects that people use to fit the user, that is to give the possibility for them to use natural moves and positions. That is why ergonomic computer mice opted for the vertical position lately, as it keeps the hand in a neutral position and no longer puts pressure on the wrist.

The only problem might be the price of these devices, which is pretty high . I guess this is caused by the cost of the research that needs to be done and all the tests and after that the patent for the ergonomic design, which can be rather expensive. So, I think we will continue using non-ergonomic computer mice for a while, until they get a lot cheaper and more popular.

Computer mice are different in sizes and shapes and features just like us, people who use them. Every oneof us is different from the other standing next to us and that is why we each need different things and like different things. That is why some computer mice are large - for people with large hands that want to feel comfortable when using a computer mouse and do not want to lose the mouse among their fingers.



Gamers want big computer mice full of buttons they can program in different ways. Designers want a very high resolution to allow them to work on the details and young girls and women who study or already work in the business field and are always on the go would like very much a stylish mini computer mouse.

The most important feature of these computer mice is the fact that they are mini, that is they are small and easy to transport even in the purse without the fear of breaking anything or doing any damage to it. Then there's the looks of these mice. They must be really nice looking and fashionable and also very easy to use, as nobody hates very complicated computer mice more than a girl. We like mini computer mice in bright shiny colours that can be also competitive and productive, as we like to combine good looks with brains.

So I chose two models that illustrate the perfect idea of a nice mini computer mouse. The first one is Mini Hello Kitty USB optical mouse. It is really small, weighing only 73 grams and pretty - pink in colour, with the famous kitty printed on it, which is really appealing for a girl, especially if you want to surprise it with a nice gift. It is compatible with all versions of Windows and has a retractable cord that plugs directly to your laptop's USB  port. When you are not using it, the cord conveniently retracts inside the clip and you can deposit it where you can find a small place for it,. It has quite a high resolution of 1200 dpi and be also used as a decoration for your laptop as much as a mouse.

The second picture shows the USB Mini Mouse , nice looking and red, surrounded by a strap of shiny silver. It is very similar to the computer mouse that I presented above and has almost the same features: it is very lightweight, USB connected, portable, with a retractable cord, the same three buttons ( two regular right and left click buttons with a scroll wheel between them).

You can buy it for only $12 and you can choose from red, black and silver. The same optical technology that allows a very good traceability and the high resolution of 1200 dots per inch make it a very good quality mouse . It is tiny and nice, very portable and comfortable to use, almost like a toy but having all the necessary features that make a great computer mouse. The cable length can go from4.5 cm to 75 cm which is more than enough for a portable computer mouse. So, in conclusion, you can find computer mice that are both small, cute and at the same time very professional.

Mouse pads are not just simple accessories for your computer or a surface of support for your computer mouse. They can also be used to transmit a message or to make a personalized gift to someone you love. This is easier than you thought. There are so many specialized web sites nowadays that sell customized mouse pads, that all you have to do is choose one of them. You can do that once you find the best features for your mouse pad: to be made of good quality materials, possibly recycled, so that you could also help nature by being ecological.



Then you must consider the mouse surface - it would be better for it to have some non-slipping backing that can prevent it from slipping off your desk when you use the computer mouse on it. The cover is preferable to be some kind of cloth so that it can offer enough adherence for your mouse, but at the same time to prevent it from slipping away and ensuring a nice and easy movement of the computer mouse on its surface.The thickness should be perfect: too thick mouse pad tend to be uncomfortable and injure your wrist while too thin ones may offer too little protection.

Now let's talk about clear examples of message mouse pads. The first one is a very special mouse pad that can be used as a statement and example for others and also as a gift for people in an autism association for example or the parents of such children or even as gifts for people in an awareness campaign. Autism is a very unusual illness and it can't be cured, you can only improve the children's health condition. Be the first to set an example and accept these children in your life and buy one of these message mouse pads here for only $6.

Here you can buy a perfect gift for your mother for $12: a personalized mouse pad. You can upload a photo with you and your siblings and offer a nice message mouse pad as a gift for Mother's Day and you will see the happy smile on your mother's face. Write your names, too and maybe a short message and a simple thing as a mouse pad turns into the most precious gift in the world.

You have the possibility to choose the mouse pad, the background, the message and the photo you want printed on it, so your gift will reflect your personality and everybody knows that presents that come from the heart are the most valuable. Whether you buy them for your friends, family members, teachers or other people that you love for different occasions, you will be able to combine a nice and useful mouse pad and a message from the heart, together with a picture of you, all together in a nice message mouse pad. Just don't forget to use every opportunity to show your love and affection for the people around you and make them happy with such a little thing.
