By: admin
Most people do not really care what type of mouse they are using. Some of them, buying a mouse just because it has nice color and design. Today, i will try to make you understand how a laser mouse can increase your daily work efficiency.
Laser mouse are almost similar to optical mouse by their appearance. To differentiate them, is the packaging itself (laser mouse packaging should written “LASER”) and the price perhaps. Laser mouse price ranging from RM25 onwards. Otherwise, both are almost same.
Whats good about laser mouse?
1. Higher Accuracy - Laser mouse using dual-optical lenses instead of one on optical mouse. Therefore, laser mouse have better accuracy and does not experience cursor dislocation like most of optical mouse.
2. Work on any surface - Laser mouse work on any flat surface including glass. Therefore, laser mouse does not required any additional mouse pad. Hassle-free.
3. Last longer - Generally, laser mouse last longer than optical mouse. Optical mouse users change their mouse more often especially when the mouse become ’stubborn’. On the other hand, a laser mouse has years lifespan.
4. Shape-of-Palm - Most of laser mouse manufacturers commited with the shape of mouse for better comfortability. On the other hand, optical mouse (cheap version) manufacturers do not emphasis on the mouse shape that could endanger the user hand.
