Usually all towns and cities have such shops where they sell computers and computer peripherals, like computer mice.



They have people working there who are paid to guide you, give you professional advice what kind of computer mouse you should buy according to your needs and , why not, finances. This is recommended for those who are not very sure what exactly they want to buy because they don't know much about computers and stuff like that. It is a good idea to visit more than just one store that sells computer merchandise, as the prices may vary a lot.



For example you will pay more for the same computer mouse if the shop is downtown or inside a Mall. Maybe it is a good idea to wait for a special event or holiday before you go shopping because usually there are consistent discounts every Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day and some other similar occasions.

If you know what you are looking for and have some experience when dealing with computer mice, the easiest and handiest way for you to buy one is on the internet. There are a lot of specialized computer stores on the internet that let you choose from a variety of computer mice.

For an unexperienced shopper it would seem a labyrinth of offers, but for an experienced one it's actually easy, because they know exactly what they are looking for.

Of course, there is always the option of choosing such a web site like e-Bay or amazon where people sell and buy things that are not necessarily new, but rather unusual, more fit for collections.

However, used computer mice do not have warranty, so if they break immediately after purchasing there is no way of replacing them. Here you can also buy almost new computer mice that are very expensive if you want to buy them directly from the producer, for example ergonomic mice like Evoluent Vertical mouse or Airobic ergonomic mouse that sell for about $100 in the shop. But if you are patient enough to search for them you can find them a lot cheaper.

Published by MouseArena, on February 8th, 2010, in the categories: Uncategorized

The computer mouse pointer or cursor is the image that appears on the computer screen when you are using your mouse. Usually it has two different shapes: it looks like a small arrow when you are navigating the web or just looking for something specific on your computer and like a vertical line when you click on a text document and want to edit it.



You can move this pointer or cursor wherever you want on the computer screen by moving the computer mouse, as the movements of the two are interconnected. Actually this computer mouse pointer is the basic idea of using the computer mouse when operating a computer, because computers used to be operated only via keyboards or pen-like devices.



So how exactly does this work? Well, when you move your computer mouse, it has some sensors attached (either optical or even laser) that determine the exact position of the mouse in space. Then the mouse sends the exact coordinates of its position to the main computer either through the cord - if the mouse is corded or radio frequency or infrared light beams. The computer will be able to use all the information about the computer mouse's change of position and will translate it into similar movements of the cursor on the computer screen. In this way we, the computer users, can make the mouse cursor move where we want it to and how fast we want it.

The cursor helps you point to documents you want to open and to things you want to move on the screen and also place the letter in the exact spot where you want to introduce a text in a written document or make some changes to it. Anyway, sometimes it may be possible to use the same and the same old mouse cursor that looks like a lifeless arrow and want to replace it with something funnier. In this case you have the possibility to visit a lot of web sites offering thousands of such models of mouse cursors.

You can download as many as you want and change them according to your mood and preferences, maybe change them even according to the special events or holidays you celebrate. For example you can choose o heart for the approaching Valentine's Day, a funny puppy, an Easter bunny, different emoticons, a little hand, a frog, a dog and a lot of other possible choices.Or maybe choose the image of a car for your boyfriend's computer mouse.

Logitech 940 Mouse

Published by MouseArena, on January 24th, 2010, in the categories: Uncategorized

I would like to start this article by making it clear that Logitech 940 mouse is not a computer mouse as you might think, but it is a gamepad, a cordless or corded precision controller for PlayStation 3. PlayStation 3 is a video game console, the third generation of video game consoles released by the Japanese company Sony. The first one appeared as early as 1995 and the latest one in November 2006. This is the clear proof that each generation of children has its own games and toys and preoccupations. I remember when I was a child I used to play hide-and-seek and play with dolls and lots of children still do that, but they now have a whole more opportunities and a much wider variety of toys and games to choose from.

Video games are designed to be liked by children, as they are interactive and the children feel they are really part of the game. And PlayStation in all its three versions offered them exactly what they wanted: nice games with the possibility to be part of the game and to actually shoot in the shooting games or drive the car in the car racing competition games, that is actually move their hands and the game pad as if they had a real steering wheel in their hands. These realistic functions made this console so popular all over the world that it is almost impossible to have a child, especially a boy home and not to have a PlayStation console somewhere in the house.

Fortunately for the millions of users all over the world PlayStation console can also be operated by other gamepads that are produced by different companies, as Sony's products are a bit prohibitive when it comes to price. Well, Logitech has released two similar versions of gamepads designed to be used with PlayStation 3 console, one of them wires and the other wireless. They are both  Logitech model 940, but the only difference are the few numbers at the end, 065 for the wired model and 018 for the wireless one.

The wireless version of this Logitech 940 gamepad offers the user the possibility to play in every corner of the room, even of the house, as it can be operated within a range of 10 metres/30feet distance from the console. It is delivered together with a small receiver that easily plugs into the console and you can already start playing. The 2.4 GHz technology allows a better use, without lags and offers an incredible and realistic experience for whoever uses it. It works with two AA batteries that can last up to 300 hours of continuous activity. This gamepad, too, like many of the wireless computer mice produced by Logitech benefits from a smart technology of saving energy and goes into the sleep mode after five minutes of being unused. It is very similar to the original Sony gamepad anf has the same operating buttons, in order to offer the maximum comfort and control of the user. It has all the necessary control buttons for a fast interactive use of the console, including the thumbsticks (2), action buttons, shoulder buttons, select and start buttons. It is more comfortable and easier to use than the joy stick. Besides, it is purchased together with the user's manual that gives you the necessary instructions about how to use it and all the functions it has. It is also offered one yeard garantee by the producer, Logitech. You can buy it for an average price of $50. The two additional joystick attached to the gamepad make it fun to play and win at the same time.



The corded version of Logitech 940gamepad is very similar to the cordless one, has the same buttons sometimes 10 and sometimes 11 and the same design, with the difference of being attached to the console with a cord. All you have to do is plug the device in the game console and start using the gamepad. It is that easy. The plastic cover and the rubber buttons allow a versatile control and a comfortable grip. It offers a dual analog control with built-in programmable buttons. The two models of corded Logitech gamepads are provided in black and blue colours, also with a guarantee, 1 or two years depending on the provider.

That is exactly the case with Logitech v220 mouse that provided in many colours, spring green included. This is a very sensitive optical mouse that has a great resolution of 1000 dots per inch, more than most optical computer mice on the market. This resolution allows it to track the mouse movements without mistake and to be really accurate. It is also a wireless computer mouse and it transmits its positioning signals to a receiver that is connected to your computer via a USB port. What is really original about this receiver is the fact that you can conveniently snap it into the mouse in order to offer an easier transport and avoid losing it. Under the mouse you can see a whole where this small receiver fits perfectly. This receiver catches the radio frequency signals emitted by the wireless mouse and transmits them to the computer and this translates them into movements of the cursor on the computer screen. This Logitech v220 mouse spring green is wireless so it works on batteries, actually on battery, as it needs only one AA battery to work properly. The battery life can last up to six month due to a good battery management : this mouse has an in/off button that you can use when you intend to stop working on your computer for a while, thus saving energy. Besides, the mouse itself has a sleep mode when it simply "sleeps" if it is not operated for a certain period of time. This mouse is usually used with notebook computers and that is why it is important for you to know when and if your mouse battery is going low. Well, now this can be avoided as Logitech v220 mouse has an indicator right under the scroll wheel that light green when the battery is charged and starts lighting red when it has only five mouse battery power and in this way lets you know it is time to change the mouse battery.

The computer mouse is ergonomically shaped to fit the palm of your hand perfectly and the sides are covered in rubber in order to allow a firm grip and avoid slipping. The battery cover and the two buttons of the mouse can have different colours, but now we are talking about the spring green model, that you can purchase if you want to make it fit with the colout of the walls in your room or the colour of your notebook computer or even because this is your favourite colour and want something to revive the dull atmosphere around you. The scroll wheel between the two classic buttons is also covered with rubber and ridged and this makes it so easy to use. It can scroll four sides and it makes internet surfing a child's play. The scroll wheel can be used as a multifunction device for horizontal scrolling or for some other operations like zooming in ad out a picture or adjusting the volume of an audio file.



This device can work properly without some special software being installed, as it is plug and play, but in case you want to reprogramme the mouse buttons, then you need to install the Logitech software. Even though v220 is an optical and not a laser mouse, it does not mean that it works with a less quality of trackking. In fact it works really well and , due to its high definition optical sensor, it can work on almost any kind of surface, even on a vertical wall, without having any trouble. It is perfect to use while travelling, as it is small with a compact size and has no cord attached to it.

This is a very simple computer mouse that you can use with your laptop r notebook computer. However, some people might complain it is too simple and it would have been better if it had at least two more buttons. But, unless you are an addicted gamer, you will find this mouse perfect for everyday use. The thumb rest on the left side of the computer mouse and the shape provide good ergonomics and help you work for a long time before you feel any tiredness in your hands and fingers.



It proves to be a true wireless mouse and it functions pretty well within a 2 metres distance. The price is also a very good reason to purchase it, as it costs only $28-29. I guess this is the best mouse you can purchase for this money. Usually wireless mice are a bit more expensive because of the technology used to transmit the mouse signal to the receiver, but this is not the case here.
