Best Mouse

June 2, 2011

I have been using a Logitech Wireless Wave Pro with the Performance Laser Mouse. It works fine except in one situation: the scrll wheel absolutely fails in spreadsheets of more than 100 rows. Why and how to solve?

I bought it back in December and have been using it since. I love it. It's very comfortable. Plus its cool.
