***For over thirty years the computer mouse ruled over the kingdom of computer navigation. Despite losing its rubber ball and cord over the years, the peripheral lived a long, full life of being pushed across desks and tables getting the cursor where it needed to go. It died today from neglect as it was abandoned en masse for touchpads and touch-based computers. ***
Many tech pundits have already started drafting an obituary of the computer mouse like the one above, but let’s be clear: we think the death of the mouse is greatly exaggerated. In fact, we’re so convinced the mouse isn’t dead that we’ve been testing some of the best on the market for the last couple of months. Click on below to find out why we think the lowly mouse has more than a few good years left, and which ones out there deserve your attention.Continue reading The mouse ain’t dead…yet: five of the best mice reviewed
Re: The mouse ain’t dead…yet: five of the best mice reviewed
Cant operate my computer without one. I’ve used touch pads, those mini joysticks in the middle of keyboards (whatever they are called), 3D track balls, stylus, fingers on touch screen .. but after a regular QWERTY keybord, mouse gotta to be the best input peripheral ever.
I doubt if mice are going to leave the scene anytime soon. As long as keyboard is there, mouse will be there to compliment it. I am not sure if productivity suites (like MS Office) can be handled solely through a touch screen input. Try to put together a 250 rows, 72 columns spread sheet on IPAD and one will realize how important mouse and keyboard are.
