Hi,
Rhino users will know how vital pixel accurate mice are.
**What mouse do you use under Win7 or Win8 64bit to be able to move across the screen at a sensible speed within 60mm of mouse mat ?
I am looking for traditional classic mouse shape, 115mm long, two buttons and a scroll wheel or similar. Not a large ergonomic shaped beast.**
more detail is here :-
I am using a Logitech M-BJ58 usb cord mouse two button with
scroll wheel 115mm overall length. The traditional classic mouse shape. Not ergonomic, no extra
buttons. This mouse is super precise and I can perform wonders with
it ! I bought 6 of them and here is why:-
I used a ball mouse under win98. I use a gel wrist wrest
mouse mat.
Mouse speed set to 9/10 accel high and 40mm of mouse mat is
all it took to move or draw the entire screen width (19inch monitor). Rear of
mouse 20mm from gel wrest enables top to bottom move on screen but just. These long ergonomic things are no use as they are already hitting the buffers before we start a down screen move.
When win2K came the mouse on my high speed setting gave a
very steppy motion, as if snapping to some invisible grid. I solved it after 3
months searching. Msoft admitted it was of their making but never fixed it !
Enhance Pointer Precision was their offering but it resets mouse to 5/10 so no
good.
My test for others that will let me know if a suitable
replacement exists.
start cursor at left and count 0 and 1and 2and 3and 4and 5
in a normal manner, that’s 5 secs, moving off on the 0, during which one will
move mouse at an even rate to screen right.
My mouse will have moved 60mm as I have a hi res flat screen
24inch.
How far has your mouse moved.
Win7 sees Mouseware driver ditched, and so has killed
millions of mice inc my little future proof (huh !) stockpile. It doesn’t work with substitute setpoint driver.
The search starts all over again.
