"Tailed" manipulator: TOP 5 wired mice for a laptop

First of all, it should be noted that the case, the location of the buttons and their shape are completely symmetrical to each other. Yes, on the one hand, there is no question of unique ergonomics, but there is an important plus ― the model is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed people. And in general, it fits comfortably enough in any palm. And in the bag it does not feel at all, because it weighs only 68 g.

Classics of the genre: two buttons, a wheel and a 1.2 metre long wire. There is simply nothing to get confused about ― the design is aimed at optimizing the functionality, which makes the mouse a good option for work, although such a manipulator will obviously not attract gamers. The only thing that stands out from the traditional style is white. You can't call it an advantage or disadvantage, just a fact.

Also note the DPI indicator of a thousand dots per inch. This is, in principle, the norm for standard office mice, and allows you to do work that requires increased accuracy. For example, designers and owners of high-resolution screens will definitely be satisfied. Especially considering that the mouse is quite inexpensive.

A standard device for work, suitable for all laptop owners. Low-cost, simple and versatile.

Like most computer mice for laptops, this model is universal. This is expressed in the symmetry of the shape of the case and buttons. The manufacturer provides that right-handed and left-handed people can use the device with the same convenience. And even the cable length of 1 m should not confuse you, because a metre is quite enough to position the device conveniently.

The manufacturer emphasizes that a special mat is not needed for comfortable operation of the mouse. Any flat surface is suitable for work, which, given the mobility of laptops, is very useful. In fact, any table can easily turn into a work surface.

Note that the sensitivity of the device is 1200 DPI. And this is already an above-average indicator, suitable for both work and games. It will also be appreciated by owners of laptops with large screens ― such a manipulator is quite convenient for FullHD monitors and higher.

The only drawback according to user reviews is a very thin cable with which the mouse connects to the laptop. With strong bends, there is a possibility of insulation damage. Therefore, in order to avoid wire breakage, it is better to show a little more care during operation.

Compact and does not require a mat ― the very thing to carry in a bag, and use as needed.

Please note that the basis of the mouse design is symmetry. The left and right buttons, as well as the shape of the case on both sides are the same, which makes it possible for left―handed and right-handed people to use. In fact, the device is universal, and is suitable for users of any gender, age and build. And a metre-long wire will be enough for all users.

The second important point is the dimensions and weight. It can be argued that this is one of the most compact computer mice, because the dimensions are 98x59x37 mm, and the weight is only 61 g. Small and light, this mouse fits easily into the pocket of a backpack or laptop bag, and is completely not felt during transportation.

The device has an average DPI of 1000 dots per inch. This is quite enough for any working moments, including designers, architects and artists. Even for computer games is enough. But this value is clearly not enough for professional gamers, although this mouse is not related to the gaming industry.

A small, lightweight and versatile mouse, suitable for work. The most classic and as simple as possible.

This device has quite a lot of interesting features, and the first of them is the ability to programme the right button for sixteen different functions. So, with the key held down, by moving the mouse to the sides, you can zoom in / out of the screen, copy / paste files, quickly access system settings and much more. To configure it, you need to download proprietary drivers (for free), although no additional software is required for normal operation.

There is a V-Track sensor, which means that you can use the mouse on any surface. Moreover, in the literal sense ― a rug, a table, a floor, a blanket, a floor carpet, a sheet, a blanket, a pillow and even clothes. Without exaggeration, this device can be used anywhere.

At first glance, the mouse is equipped with a conventional scroll wheel, although in fact this is far from the truth. The fact is that a 4D scroller is installed here, which allows you to move the image on the screen not only vertically, but also horizontally. This feature is useful when working with documents, artists, designers and architects. In general, to everyone who works with large images or large tables.

Also note the four DPI sensitivity modes ― 600, 1000, 1200 and 1600 dpi, respectively. There is a sensitivity switch button on the case. Considering the two side buttons, A4 Tech N-70FX is rather closer to gaming mice, although it fully corresponds in size to a laptop, with dimensions of 100x60x35 mm.

And one more thing ― the length of the cable is one and a half metres, which is impressive for laptop mice. It will reach the location of the hand anyway, and even provides some freedom of action for the arrangement of the workplace.

A small and versatile mouse, with a very diverse functionality, which is suitable for both games and work, and very different, from document management to drawing.

Just note that the device is suitable for use with any hand ― right and left. In addition, you can change the assignment of the keys (right from left), so that symmetry is put at the forefront here.

The optical sensor of the model was created using Microsoft Optical Technology, which allows you to abandon the mouse pad. The device works confidently on a table or a cloth. That's just the only advantage of the Microsoft Compact Optical Mouse 500, which distinguishes it from a number of standard laptop mice, and this is not enough to justify the cost. The price tag is quite impressive for such functionality, although it's probably the Microsoft label. By the way, perhaps it is because of the sensor that the DPI is only 800 dots per inch — already not enough for modern technology, although it is quite enough for simple office work.

I must say that this is one of the most compact mice on the market. The dimensions are 88x55x32, although the weight is sensitive ― 115 g. The device will fit perfectly not only in a backpack or a special laptop case, but also in a women's handbag or a trendy belt. A good choice for those who move around the city a lot with a working computer.

Frustrating for this model is not only the price, but also the wire with a length of only 0.7 m. Whatever one may say, but sometimes such a cable may not be enough for comfortable work. On the other hand, the user is spared from endless cable rings clinging to everything.

A very small and quite comfortable mouse with a slightly overpriced price due to the brand. It is suitable for work, although it may not be very convenient for large screens or creating drawings, design and architectural schemes. But the owners of netbooks or transformers will be completely satisfied.
