3 High Quality, Reasonably Priced Computer Mice for Every Personality

You have just purchased the fastest piece of computing power you could afford, either in a desktop or laptop model. The display is perfect, you have more cores than an apple orchard, and enough memory to store every movie Morgan Freeman has made an appearance in. Before your computer set up is complete, you need to top it all off with the perfect mouse. Depending on what you use your computer for and what model of computer you have, you can get a mouse to fit your needs. Here are the top the input devices that will match your specific needs.

The Employee- Canon X Mark 1 Mouse with Keypad

While a 14 or 15 inch display is the perfect compromise for laptop computing, a common complaint is that smaller laptops do not have calculator style number pads. If you do work were entering digits is a necessity, you may want to get a Canon X Mark 1 Mouse. This mouse has the usual 3 input buttons, scroll wheel and wireless connection. It also has a full function calculator and number input pad on the top that is perfect for jobs that require data entry, or basically any type of repeated numerical input. There is a small display on the mouse itself, just like a basic calculator. You can purchase the X Mark 1 Slim from Canon.com for $59.99.

The Casual Surfer- Microsoft Wireless Arc Touch

For years doctors have stressed that ergonomics is key to avoiding problems like carpel tunnel syndrome from compulsive computer use. Microsoft decided to research the ergonomics of the mouse extensively, and introduced the Microsoft Wireless Arc for laptops. It folded for easy packing, and was very comfortable to use. The next generation of the Microsoft Arc is the Touch model which is a radically different design that looks like it's from the future, and flattens for easy carrying instead of folding. It takes a while to get used to, but after you do the Touch is a superior input device. Get either version of the Microsoft Wireless Arc for $59.99 from Microsoft online.
