Buying a mouse

[Colorado-PC-Dude]

Is it just me, or is there some conspiracy out there to piss-off the consumer? After two years of intensive use I actually wore out a logitech mouse. While searching for a new mouse (wound up with a 5-button 2-scroller GE for $15) I had the hardest time figuring out how many buttons each of them had. Do you know haow hard it is to push what looks like a button through that plastic and try to determine if one of the three clicks you heard was actually coming from what you pressed? Why can't they just print on the package how many buttons they have?

You are right the boxes are not very explicit about how the mouse is.
You wouldnt believe my weird experience with a mouse.
I have been asking for a marble mouse (the one with the ball on the top so the mouse doesn't move), and when it arrived I was surprised to receive a two buttons mouse. This wasnt enough. When I started using it, (even after a realignement) I had the surprise that it is constantly misaligned. The size of the dots that makes the movements possible are so big that it kind of skips and then moves, skips, moves, ending with a total misalignement and poor precision !!

Sniff !!
