too much mouse noise

Is there such a think as a "quiet" mouse? It's ridiculously noisy!
Why have they built in that noise when we know the technology is there
to build in quietness instead? As long as I'm on the subject, why
aren't "quiet" keyboards really quiet? I hate the racquet!

What mouse noise are you referring to? My Logitech wireless keyboard is
incredibly quiet. So is my Logitech wireless mouse.

If you think your mouse is noisy, then there's something seriously wrong
with your computer, your mouse, your hearing, or (possibly) all three. There
is no such thing as a "noisy mouse". What are you objecting to? The clicking
of the buttons? The slight 'ratcheting' noise made by the scroll wheel? The
'rasping' as you move it across the desk? If you don't like that, suggest
you don't use a mouse at all.

Next you'll be saying your keyboard is too noisy because the keys clatter as
you type!

I would second that.

Nary a squeak from the mouse and the keyborad is as quiet as something
mechanical can be

YES and yes.

Not a big problem, I keep my motions small so there's not much to
complain about and it's infrared so that helps too. Ain't technology
wonnerful?

Using a mouse is easier than using that noisy keyboard, where I use as
few keys as humanly possible.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I've used so called quiet keyboards
in the past and they weren't much quieter than the regular ones...
defintely not quiet enough to make it worth spending more than I'd
spend for an ordinary replacement board.

Which only proves that no matter how much things change, they still
stay the same.

I've already tried Logitech. It's not quiet enough to merit spending
any more on than I would spend on a no name brand.

Mouses emit only a slight clicking sound, hardly annoying unless you are
obsessive... if you are using a real mouse, in which case, try not
squeezing the little devil so tightly.......

I guess you must have your stereo turn up to BLAST.

Hardly annoying if you're deaf. Today's technology can eliminate the
noise and it should.

Noise pollution is a serious topic in my opinion. I don't have the answer
for you but thought you might be interested in this URL:

I don't get it. My Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse is silent, not just
quiet. You can't hear a thing when you click either button or use the
scroll wheel. My Logitech Wireless Keyboard is not totally silent, as in no
detectable noise whatsoever, but it makes the noises you expect from a
keyboard. Quiet, soft, clickety-clackety noises that serve to provide
feedback to the touch typist. By the way, it has incredible key feel and
response. I have a secretary friend who bought one after she tried mine and
she types 110 words per minute! She loves her Logitech keyboard.

I wpuil; dendpred ebery singl eword/

And Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse is not expensive. I paid $A89-00
but since I have seen the price go down to I think as low as $A49-00 . If
not it was $A59-00. (Ah well!)

I didn't do a spell check - my spell checker doesn't kick in automatically
any more

The first line should read:
I would endorse every single word

If that's really true, it's time to try Logitech again.

Thank you! Too many people are half deaf from listening to audio
devices set on stun. Naturally, they don't care and belittle those
who do.
