Quiet Mouse

TheMailMan78 · Aug 9, 2008, 12:47 PM

Could anyone recommend me a "quiet" mouse?

The problem I have is my computer is right next to my bed and when I stay up and play games my wife says the "clicking" of the mouse keeps her up. Bottom line is I cant use my computer at night until I fix this.

I prefer Logitech as I currently use a G5 and love it but I'm open to anything.

Well I figured out that my two year old took the weights out of the mouse and in doing so it causes the clicks to be louder. I cant seem to find them anywhere ether. I guess Ill have to my a new mouse just to get them damn weights.

great way to turn your high dollar mouse into some pos that you probably couldn't give away for free ^^

The Microsoft 3000 wireless ($40) has pretty soft clicks compared to my Logitech G7.
If that doesn't work, try running an electric fan in the room. The soft whirring sound can
be pleasant and soothing, and it will mask the annoying clicks from the mouse.

If you were skilled with electronics and know how you could, but meh I wouldn't...

Wow, excellent suggestions. Personally, the clicks of my logitech LX3 Optical and OCZ Equalizer arent that loud. PErhaps a high speed fan would do the trick? (works on my wife

)
