Title: Smartfish Whirl Mouse? Looking for mouse @ work (not gaming)
Post by: pineapplopolis on Fri, 25 February 2011, 11:47:52

Does anyone have any experience with the Whirl mouse? I searched the forums and only found one passing mention.

I'm looking for a mouse to use at work. I mostly code but do work with spreadsheets, outlook, web browsing, etc. Also need one that doesn't require software (forbidden at my work).

I was gonna say get a trackball... but will need driver to adjust for the optimal speed...

I say give Logietch M100 a shot, 10 bucks with generally good review too. Can be found in Walmart

...CIA?

Get a trackball...you won't actually need to screw with the DPI much if you don't grab a high end one. I'd say go with a Kensington with the scroll ring, since you use excel at work.
