I finally broke down and bought a mouse for my new laptop. I had planned to force myself to become proficient with the touchpad, and I got a lot better at it, but in the end it became a nuisance while doing any kind of extended typing. My thumbs tended to rest there, and triggered all kinds of unwanted events.
I ended up with a Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse with the “plug and forget Nanoreceiver”, a USB unit so tiny that I can leave it plugged in all the time. (Or at least, that’s the advertising claim. I’m still concerned that it might provide enough leverage to eventually damage the laptop jack.)
There’s a storage jack for it inside the mouse, but you have to remove the battery cover. Better than nothing, but.
My Toshiba laptop has a tiny button just above the touchpad that turns it off, which makes using the mouse very convenient.
Mousing action is fine, and I think this might be the good combination.
Hey, FTC? As always, none of your damn business what may or may not have gone on between Logitech and me. Please feel free to stab yourselves with used mucking-out forks.
Not, of course, that they or any one else cares about my pissant little blog, but it’s the principle of the thing, something some folks seem to have a problem with. Means, ends, and all that.

Toldja so. Good for you!
Seriously, are you going to write a review and curse the FTC every time you make a purchase for the rest of your life? “Depends are some really top-quality adult diapers, and Target has some really good prices for them and my arthritis meds. Fuck you, FTC.” Too much time on your hands, man.
Get a life,

I’m going to do things my way, write whatever I please, and curse whomever I damn well want, for as long as I’m able to do so.
