Hopefully this is the right sub-forum, couldn't find a 'Peripheral' section!
I have a desktop back home and use a laptop whilst at University. Recently I've been using CAD software and have found using a touchpad a little frustrating and to be slowing me down (despite having a fast pointer speed).
With is being christmas and all I though I'd treat myself to a nice mouse. The last mouse I used was a Microsoft keyboard/mouse combination thing and I really liked the shape of that and found ergonomically it was quite good. Despite getting a little sweaty/slipery occasionally.
Also what I was wondering was if it's possible to assign functions to buttons on a mouse to correspond with itunes? Like skip foward/back through songs and play/pause?
I'd like to know this to save me forking out a bit extra for a mouse with spare buttons to then find they're useless for my needs!
Anybody care to recommend a good mouse? and let me know which brand/models should be avoided?
Thanks in advance,
Benny C
Edit: I don't really have a preference as to corded/wireless. And as for budget, around £50 would be good, ideally less but if it's worth the extra I don't mind.
