Been killing my wireless mouse seems about monthly. Either the back button quits or the scroll wheel starts to go wacko. Don't seem to make much difference if get a $5 E bay or the more expensive one. What mouse do you have the best luck with? Keyboard usually lasts me until start wearing the lettering off. I am still a hunt and peck but have graduated to 2 fingers.

Drifter I can't find anything for a name on this antique I have. It is an all flowered up thing that my mother passed down when she got a new one about 15 years ago. My wife has retired it and gotten me new ones multiple times cause it is covered with my nasty hand grease, but the new ones last about a month and I get this one back out of the desk. I keep scraping the grease off of it with my pocket knife and it keeps working. It is getting to the point the battery fails in half the time it used to and the on off button is worn to the point I have to slide it over with my knife, but it is still working. I really dread the day it quits working as new ones just don't hold up, I feel your pain.

Come on Drifter. Just get a new computer with touch screen. One finger works great on them and if you get a keyboard and mouse dies you are still in business. If an old goat like me can do it you can too.

I have had a LOGITECH for 3 years now and it is bullet proof. Never as much as 1 bad issue with it.

I also have a Logitech. Mine's about 4 years old and the only thing I have had to do to it is change the batteries about once a year.

Glad to hear you two have had good luck with the logitech, that is what my wife just handed me to replace the old one. Hope I have the same good fortune with longevity.

Do they still have the little balls in the bottom of them? If so, you need to keep your balls clean. If the scrolling isn't working right, often you can take out the balls wash and dry them and put them back. It sounds painful but its not. smile

They don't seem to mind if you're gentle.
