Choosing Your Gaming Mouse (4 posts)

If you are building a gaming computer, you need a fast mouse — at least 800 DPI — so that you can move speedily during your gaming sessions. Some gaming mice sport a DPI of more than 2700 DPI. Which such a sensitive mouse, it will of course be difficult to control and get used to the cursor’s speed.

Depending on your preference, you can purchase a corded mouse or a wireless mouse. Wireless mice run on batteries and during heavy use, these mice can drain your batteries in a day or two. Thus, it is not really advisable to get a wireless mouse for gaming. You will know when your battery is running low because the mouse infrequently becomes unresponsive to your commands.

Also there you can choose a ball mouse and an optical mouse. Ball mice are obsolete these days but you can still find some at the store. Because you need to clean these types of mouse frequently — dirt can easily get stuck in between the wheels and hamper movement.

An optical mouse can spice up your computer ensemble with its fancy LED lights. They do not have mouse balls to rely on for movement. They track movement through their LED lights. Because they come in a variety of colors, optical mice are fun computer hardware to play with. They are also relatively inexpensive to replace.

When choosing your mouse, be sure that it is comfortable to hold. Some mice are built for computer users with large hands. You will have difficulty maneuvering with these types of mice if your hands are small. The same thing applies if you are trying to handle a mouse that is too small for your hands.

Gamers will appreciate the added features that high-end mice offer. These include extra buttons, most of which are programmable. You can program a button to execute three clicks for one click so you can shoot three times faster than your enemies. This may help you be the winner in the game.

Hi durden

I have the ACER aspire 4820T that comes with bluetooth inbuilt. I have the Microsoft bluetooth mouse 5000. I have always been using it with no problems. Suddenly it stopped working.

As usual, I thought I can just re-installing it by using the pairing function under the bluetooth panel "Add a device". Best part is the wizard just keeps going and never stops. My mouse is already in pairing mode.

Next check under devices/printers and believe it or not, it appears as indicated. However under the bluetooth control panel (Show Bluetooth devices), no mouse. In the devices & printers panel, the mouse shows up.

I cannot use the mouse or do a manual installation.

I have also tried to upgrade the drivers for the bluetooth and still not working. Tried the mouse with another computer and no problem. Can anybody advise how to do a reset of the bluetooth module or settings?

Short of a complete reinstallation of win 7 (which I hope to avoid just for one mouse), I have run out of ideas.

Hope somebody can render any insight as to how to resolve the issue.

Durden, did you contact Acer support about this? I tried to but they just blame the mouse and software? Any luck on your side?

Thanks for reading.
