			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-409" title="mouse top" src="http://www.pctantrums.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mouse-top-300x262.jpg" alt="mouse top" width="180" height="157" />Three of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of a computer are the screen, keyboard and mouse. This is especially true in offices where people are interacting with their computers for hours on end.</p>
<p>Take the mouse for example. It should be responsive, contoured for comfort and customizable. After all, you use your mouse for just about everything you do these days. Enter the Logitech G9 Laser Mouse.</p>
<p>The G9 mouse offers a slew of features that at first blush may seem unnecessary or even excessive, but one you use them, you will wonder how you ever lived without them.</p>
<p>First of all it features two outer shells. One wide one for people with big hands and a smaller one for smaller hands. Both are contoured for comfort enabling hours of pain free use.</p>
<p>Another great feature that I thought was a silly gimmick at first but have grown to love is the removable weights. Yup, weights. Different people like different weights when it comes to their mice. I prefer a heavy mouse but I have customers that want them to be as light as possible. The removable weight try allows you to decide how much your mouse will weigh by adding up to 28 grams of additional weight.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-407" style="border: 2px solid grey; margin: 2px;" title="scroller" src="http://www.pctantrums.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/scroller.jpg" alt="scroller" width="115" height="115" />The G9 also features 7 fully programmable buttons. Take the scroll wheel for example. The scroll wheel has five functions. Scroll up, scroll down, scroll left, scroll right and click down. With this mouse you can program it so that instead of scrolling left and right, those buttons could copy and paste. They could also be used to launch commonly used applications like  Word, Outlook or Internet Explorer. All seven buttons can be programed in this manner.</p>
<p>Now lets add another level of customization to that. Let&#8217;s say you use excel and want the scroll buttons to copy and paste, but when you are out of Excel you would like them to launch Internet Explorer and Outlook. The G9 Laser Mouse can handle multiple profiles that can customize every action of the mouse depending on what program you are using making this one of the most customizable mice on the market.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-411" style="border: 2px solid grey; margin: 2px;" title="dpi and profile" src="http://www.pctantrums.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dpi-and-profile.jpg" alt="dpi and profile" width="115" height="115" />While there are many more amazing features on this mouse, in the interest of not boring you to tears, I will just cover one more. Logitech has come up with a really innovative option for the scroll wheel. Traditionally when you are scrolling up and down large spread sheets or websites the scroll wheel clicks up and down limiting the speed you can scroll at. This mouse will do that as well but simply push a button on the bottom and it disengages that clicking action allowing for frictionless scrolling. This allows for amazingly fast scrolling threw large websites and documents.</p>
<p>As you can see, this mouse will cover just about anyone&#8217;s needs as far as mice go.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As computers come down in price, and become more common in the household, we are finding new and useful roles. One of the new and popular rolls is the "kitchen computer". With the new Eee PC's, kitchen computers are becoming more popular and cheaper. However one of the problems in the past has been the keyboard and mouse.

Kitchen computers can be used for many things. You can use it to display streaming news, Internet radio or (the most popular) use it to access the world largest cook book, the Internet. The problem that arises with cooking and clicking is that the mouse can become dirty. Traditional mice can be wiped down with a cloth, but their seams collect dirt and their hard to keep clean.  Unlike traditional mice, the Belkin mouse is washable and that makes it the perfect mouse for the job.

One of the new and popular rolls is the &#8220;kitchen computer&#8221;. With the new <a title="Asus Eee Box" href="http://www.pctantrums.com/?p=279" target="_self">Eee PC&#8217;s</a>, kitchen computers are becoming more popular and cheaper. However one of the problems in the past has been the keyboard and mouse.</p>
<p>Kitchen computers can be used for many things. You can use it to display streaming news, Internet radio or (the most popular) use it to access the world largest cook book, the Internet. The problem that arises with cooking and clicking is that the mouse can become dirty. Traditional mice can be wiped down with a cloth, but their seams collect dirt and their hard to keep clean.  Unlike traditional mice, the Belkin mouse is washable and that makes it the perfect mouse for the job.</p>
<p>In our testing the mouse preformed well both in and out of water. There is however, a little bit of a learning curve. Because it is seamless the left right and scroll wheel work a little differently than a traditional mouse. Instead of using a scroll wheel, it uses a touch sensitive strip in the middle that you activate by sliding your finger up or down the strip. The left and right click is responsive but does feel a little different from a normal mouse.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-318" title="belkin-mouse-washing" src="http://www.pctantrums.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/belkin-mouse-washing.jpg" alt="belkin-mouse-washing" width="150" height="100" />So if you are looking for a clean and cleanable mouse, I would highly recommend the Belkin Antimicrobial Washable Mouse.</p>
