The Best Wireless Mouse Online



Your wireless mouse gives you new freedom

The wireless mouse is the newest edition to something we all use everyday in the office or at home with our personal computers and is the computer industries next weapon to make our lives that much more easy



The wireless mouse is the newest in a long line from the people who constantly update our computer technology and are forever trying to make our lives easier. These new gadgets such as the wireless mouse look to move us away from the static environment of our desks and give us the freedom to move around our offices.



Traditionally the mouse is attached to the end of a cord which at most will be about 2 meters long and will keep you firmly chained to your desk in order to operate your computer. With the advent of the optical mouse in the past five years we were given more room to move away from our desks and still control our workstations, but still had to be within line of site. With the wireless mouse we are now able to take the mouse away from the pad and run it on almost any surface we choose in order to be able to control our PC environment.



In 1983 the Microsoft Corporation released the first ever Microsoft Mouse which it said was needed to navigate around a new programme called Word. The first mouse was almost square and had two green buttons with which to perform tasks. It sold for the large price of $195 and was slated in the press as something which would never take off.



22 years later here we are and every single PC and laptop on the planet has one of those ?no-hope? mice. The production however did not end there as the men at Microsoft continued to try and improve on their developments. In 1987 they introduced the first mouse geared toward comfort and in 1991 developed the Microsoft Ballpoint Mouse which could plug into both laptops and PCs with ease.



In 1993 they introduced the Microsoft Mouse 2.0 and the Ballpoint Mouse became the first rodent to legally ride on the space shuttle Discovery. Two years later our children were introduced to the Microsoft Easyball specially designed for children. A year later Microsoft released what is possibly their best idea to date with the scrolling button on their Intellimouse.



The scroll wheel allowed users to more easily navigate large websites and parts of Windows Explorer and comes standard with almost every make of mouse produced these days. In 2001 they took the biggest step yet introducing the Wireless Intellimouse Explorer. This contraption not only had the patented scroll wheel, but also had specially shaped grooves to more easily fit the fingers of the user.



In 2002 Microsoft went one better with the wireless mouse for laptops. Traditionally the mouse had been built into the laptop and users would have to manoeuvre the mouse with a hard to handle pad. The wireless mouse took all of these problems away and gave the increasing number of laptop user?s easy access to their laptop desktops.

Today there are literally thousands of different brands of wireless mouse contraptions on offer. As the market grows so does the number of suppliers looking for a piece of the technology pie. You can even get a wireless design pad to go with your wireless mouse, almost anything to make life easier for us all.



Colour is not a problem for you can get them from the traditional white to ones with pink polka dots. Size is not an issue either as you can now buy a wireless mouse to suit the contours of your hand and the size and shape of your fingers.



The wireless mouse is the thing of both the present and the future. They are affordable and durable and make working on either your PC or laptop an absolute pleasure. Move the way the world is moving and throw away the restraint of your cord mouse today. Joint the trend to the wireless mouse, you?ll be ever so glad you did.
