The following was taken off the Able new items list.
It just so happens my mouse is trashed and am in the market for a
new one, (I've been getting by with a converted Atari Trackball).
Although the price for the CBM replacement looks good, I was wondering
if anyone who knows Mice better than I, could tell me if the Naksha is
a good mouse... (is 280 DPI (Assuming Dots Per Inch) standard?).
I do alot of graphics work, but I don't have the money for
a "BOING mouse".
Thanks
Ed

| 3670.1 | Another suggestion | PNO::SANDERSB | Desperado waiting for a train | Fri Apr 13 1990 13:27 | 10 |
I can't advise you on the Naksha mouse, but since my Atari mouse
is starting to bite the big one again, I'm looking very seriously
at Pratical Solutions' Cordless Mouse.
High resolution, no tail (real pain!) better design, and it's
available for the Amiga. Cost is a bit steep - list is $109, but
I can pick it up at the local comp store here for around $95.

re:.1 I suggest you try out the cordless mouse first. I did and found there was a delay in response that made it unusable for me. The pointer did not track my movements crisply. This may not bother other folks, but I strongly suggest you try it before you buy it. -SES | |||||
| 3670.3 | reconsider Boing | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Fri Apr 13 1990 15:24 | 7 |
Also, the Boing mouse is not as expensive as the list price would lead
you to believe. I used up a couple of Commodore mice before investing
in the Boing mouse. It doesn't need cleaning to maintain a "good"
feel, the switches remain reliable, and therefore I expect it to last
a lot longer than the standard rodents. If it does last longer, then
that reduces its cost of ownership.

| 3670.4 | I'd go with CBM mouse | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | Mon Apr 16 1990 05:54 | 10 | |
I also am a fan of the boing mouse.However if I had to buy something
else I'd get another CBM mouse.(as long as you do not need three
buttons)Of all the mouse devices I have used the original mouse
that came with my Amiga seems to have a better quality feel.I gave
my mouse to a friend when I got the boing mouse.My feelings also
run against any device that needs an adaptor to be used on the
Amiga.If I were you I'd go for a device that plugs right into amy
without any adaptors.As for cordless,love the concept but I don't
think the technoligy lives up to the promises.
