I was wondering if anybody knows of a mouse that can be purchased that makes no noise when clicking. My roommate in college complains about the clicking of the mouse keeping him up. Thanks.

Sorry ... but I've never seen a clickless mouse. I've heard of people mentioning the possiblity of such a device being developed, especially for children, but I haven't found such a thing on the market.

I suggest that your roommate either purchase a set of earplugs, or that you make arrangements to get a new roommate who is a little less anal.

That's not a nice thing to say, I know ... but let's face it, a mouse just doesn't make that much noise. It's not like you are practicing paradiddles on a snare drum at 2 in the morning. And it's not actually your responsibility whether he or she sleeps or not.

Obviously, you are making an effort to be courteous, or you wouldn't be looking for a clickless mouse. Perhaps your roommate could also try to be courteous, and attempt to practice some restraint. After all, earplugs are cheaper than a new computer peripheral. And living with other people requires the ability to adapt, or everyone you meet will make you crazy.

If your roommate can't handle it, loan him a rag to polish his glass navel, and escort him to the door with a smile. And remind him that you <i>could</i> have taken up the violin for a hobby, instead of a computer ... and that <i>his</i> next roommate might not be so considerate.

maybe this is out of subject...
but a mouse really doesnt make that much noise
If your roomate still complain about the mouse click
just tell him
"I guess you're not tired enough, or you'll be stone dead no matter what"
