Best mouse and pad for grinding?

First my old Dell optical corded mouse started getting laggy on my Dell laptop (+ 2nd TV screen) until it stopped working. I bought a Logitech Corded Mouse M500, which was much better. After a while, it started freezing/lagging too and the USB sound would go on as if my mouse was unplugged then plugged back in (even though it was plugged the whole time). It suddenly went dead today, and my old Dell mouse is semi-working but is too laggy to multi-table.

What are the best mouse and pad for multi-tabling? Has anybody else here had mouse lag problems and found a permanent solution? I'd hate to buy a high-end high-DPI gaming mouse and pad, and end up with the same lag.

Have a simple wireless logitech M310. Cost about $40-$50 at future shop.

Never an issue.

You do know there are batteries in the wireless mouse right? Assuming they are good, mice rarely fail. Perhaps something else on your computer? Get yourself a cheap corded usb mouse and make sure where the issue is.

And you weren't throwing the mouse against the wall again were you?

The Walking Boss bought a Lexma. Just a dinky little wired mouse for the laptop 2 yrs ago. Wally Mart $20.00 Never had an issue.

I just put the new mouse That My Grandkids bought me for Christmas on the desk top. I know AJ and Hellmuths Mole will have something to say about.

So Far it works great
pureorange.ca I guess is where you would find it. I know it was at Wally Mart during the silly season.

That mouse would give you carpal tunnel in less than a year multitabling for long sessions.

You need to find something with a wide topspread.

agreed....never heard of mouse lagging other than batteries being low....wonder if your usb jack is messed or something?

wireless laser = the shit

have a simple logitech m510 for desktop.....works great, batteries seem to pop out on occasion when gently tossed against the wall on the other side of the room.

have another logitech (smaller) for laptop...same issues as above.

never had any lag issues, and can use on any surface

Flinging the mouse against the wall or it decides it want to fly across the room will usually do that lol
