Choosing between a wired or a wireless mouse is a factor you have to consider if you\u2019re planning on purchasing a new mouse. Wireless mice are generally more comfortable since your range of movement isn\u2019t limited by a cable and they\u2019re usually very travel friendly. However they tend to be less responsive than their wired counterpart, which can be a problem for users requiring more precise mouse control. In some cases, wireless mice can also interfere with other wireless devices nearby. Furthermore, wireless mice require batteries, which can be a drag if you forget to buy some at the store. If you\u2019re planning on using the same mouse for both work and home, you run the risk of losing the tiny USB receiver for your wireless mouse.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, wired mice are cheaper and easier to use since you simply plug it in and you\u2019re good to go. The only problem you\u2019ll have to worry about is dealing with tangled wires. So when you\u2019re deciding on a new mouse, think about whether you\u2019re looking for comfort or convenience.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to be using the new mouse for a while, so it\u2019s important to choose a mouse that feels comfortable in your hands. When deciding on the right mouse, focus on the size and the grip of the device. The size of the mouse usually comes down to the individual\u2019s hand size. For example, someone with smaller hands might find larger mice quite unwieldy. Certain mice can also accommodate for different types of grips:<\/p>\n
\u2022Fingertip grip: With a smaller and flatter body, this mouse allows you to control the entire device with just your fingertips. This type of mouse usually provides you with more precise control of your cursor. However, it doesn\u2019t give any room for your palms to rest on, increasing the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. Avoid using this grip unless your work requires a lot of photo, video or sound editing.<\/p>\n
\u2022Palm grip: Palm grips are the complete opposite of fingertip grip mice. With a bump at the back end for your palms, this type of mouse reduces the stress on your forearm and wrist. This grip sacrifices precision for comfort so people prone to repeated stress injuries (RSI) should definitely opt for this type of grip instead.<\/p>\n
\u2022Claw grip: This type of mouse is usually the one people are most accustomed to. Named after the shape your hand makes when you hold this type of mouse, claw grip mice give you the best of both the palm grip and the fingertip grip. Like the palm grip, your palms can rest on the mouse but this type of grip also gives you a bit more control. While the palm grip is still the most ergonomical mouse, the claw grip gives a good balance of both comfort and precision.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just assume that extra buttons on a mouse would mean that it\u2019s only meant for gamers. Extra buttons add more functionality to your mouse. For instance, you can assign your spare mouse buttons to Copy and Paste so you\u2019ll no longer have to input keyboard shortcuts. Want to switch between open windows quickly? You can assign the Alt + Tab (for Windows) and Command + Tab (for Mac) to those mouse buttons. While this isn\u2019t a requirement when picking a new mouse, it\u2019s definitely a neat feature that will save you some time.<\/p>\n

For precise movements, higher sensitivity is a must. Whether you\u2019re editing images, videos, or audio files, you\u2019re going to require more precise mouse movements to execute them well. If you ever had to move your mouse around because your cursor was stuck, then a high sensitivity mouse can solve your problems. Try looking for mice with 1200 DPI or greater for finer control.<\/p>\n

The good ol\u2019 two button mouse just won\u2019t cut it anymore. They\u2019re unresponsive, uncomfortable, and the cord somehow ties itself up every time you put it in your bag. However, buying a new mouse can be a pain, especially when you don\u2019t know what to look for. Do you need a mouse that\u2019s more forgiving […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1448,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,3],"tags":[95,94],"class_list":["post-1443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-tech","category-technology","tag-input-device","tag-mouse"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/wired-mouse.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eitnetworks.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
