If i buy a mouse for my laptop are there things i need to look out for? Or can u just buy any mouse, wireless or not wireless and use it?
I have no idea, the one i got now is a old micrsoft mouse..abut 18 years old and starting to have some age problems so been thinking on buying a new one.
I haven't had any mouse issues with Linux Lite.  Personally, I use a wired mouse.  I'd be shocked if you had ANY mouse issues with Linux Lite that were USB based.  I'd even bet many PS/2 based mice would work, but wwwhhhyyyy do that to yourself?

Thanks for your answer. Then i go and look for a mouse with a tail on it.
Never had a rodent problem with Linux Lite wired or wireless.

Did have a mouse problem with windows 7 the other Day.

The cursor was very slow.

I thought here we go .....B***** Windows again.

Turned out the mouse needed a new battery........ :-[ :-[
I was just about to say a wireless mouse would be ok.  I just prefer to have one less battery to maintain, and one less attachment to not lose.  So all of my mice have tails.

I think a wireless one wouldnt work here, before i realize that the batteries are the problem the mouse is already having free flying lessons  ;D Tongue
Hi TMG1961,
Microsoft mouse user here, with Nano receiver in an older Compaq laptop, no problem whatsoever. Battery life is also pretty good.  Microsoft and LL were made for each other, I guess...
Hello,
I use a logitech optical wired mouse
Bought a optical mouse this morning, couldm't be much cheaper, did cost 1,89 euro but its working. Thanks all for answering question.
Did you buy with a tail or without ?

I set the speed by Menu>Settings>Mouse and Touchpad>acceleration
I set to 9.8, it works excellent in Linux Lite 3.2

You are a very good shopper  Smile
I bought another optical mouse for raspberry pi zero, from mainland China it was 2.33 euro summer 2016.
