- I got the Logitech cordless Mouseman (is there another one??) which is radio-
- controlled, with a 6 foot range and all-aspect transmission (no LEDs to aim).
- It runs from a lithium battery, which isn't rechargeable, but is supposed to
- last a year. Mine is brand new, but I've heard 4-6 months is more like it.
-
- It's a little bigger than the standard Logitech mouse, plus it has an "ear"
- under your thumb where the battery, etc. is held. The feel is basically the
- same as the corded mousemen (I liked my "wedge" C7 better, but...) My opinion
- (and from mostof the people who come to my desk and say "hey, let me play with
- that neat mouse of yours") is that the bigger size is a down side but the
- cordlessness more than makes up for it.
-
- BTW, I don't know if they make a left hand model. If you're a lefty, forget
- about this one.
