The Blackangel Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) What kind of mouse does everyone use? I use the traditional mouse that people think of when they're talking about a computer mouse. I could never get the hang of a stationary mouse. A guy I knew had to use one because his hands were just too big for regular mouse's. I know some people just prefer them, but I'm not one of them. And for anyone who might not know what a stationary mouse is, here's a pic of one. It's a stock photo I found on a google search, but at the same time was the best one I could find: Edited January 1, 2023 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 To my knowledge stationary mouse's aren't very common, especially amongst gamers. The only practical application I can think of is maybe in office's where space is tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I can't say I have ever used a stationary mouse myself, I have seen them but the thought of using them just doesn't appeal to me and wouldn't be something I would like if I am honest. I have always used the traditional mouse and at the moment I have a gaming one that came with my PC when I purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Never used a stationary mouse myself, but I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Looks like it wouldn't be that bad. But yeah, I mostly use a traditional laser mouse, usually wireless as I can't stand using wired mice anymore. I still use a wired keyboard, but that's less of an issue for me. I wouldn't mind trying a stationary mouse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I find it better to use an ambidextrous mouse like the Steelseries Aerox and switch hands every few hours. Learning to be ambidextrous with a mouse isn't as hard as people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Has anyone tried the weird gimmick mice? Like these weird mice below: I can't imagine either being comfortable to use. The one on the right though I remember seeing on cheap sites like dealextreme, where I was close to buying one, but never did. I heard it doesn't work that great lol.

Learning to be ambidextrous with a mouse isn't as hard as people think. I actually am ambidextrous and have no problem using either mouse. As long a the one for the left hand is built in reverse. Trying to get things right with a right handed mouse with my left hand is a bitch. I'm sure that's true either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I used a stationary mouse once, it was extremely uncomfortable. My friend had one when he put together a gaming PC back in high school, it was very uncomfortable if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I use a traditional mouse. Stationary ones just sound really annoying, and I can't see when I'd ever use one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Stationery mice are for business owners to bolt to the desks and service counters because they don't trust thier staff. That is thier purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Traditional mouse for me all day long - I've seen those at former workplaces and I think the office is the only place they'd belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
