[DUG] OT Mouse

[David Brennan]

I see, we suspected as much that it was more the user than the device (and I must confess that spilt drinks were implicated in a couple of the dead 4000s I think).

 

The USB hub on the Natural Pros is good, being able to just plug one USB into my laptop each morning is a small thing but nice nonetheless. I also prefer the solidness and the typing angle over the 4000.

 

I think I have 3 natural pros left, would have been 4 but my sister requested one when hers finally died and I grudgingly agreed ;-).

 

Cheers,

David.

Of four MS Natural 4000's I have (or had) only one has ever developed a problem, and that was only after I accidentally  doused it with some coffee.  So, I think your colleague must have unusual stress levels (or have a secret coffee spillage problem).  :)


[Why four ?  Two at my previous employment (where the coffee incident occurred, requiring replacement), one at my current employment (thanks Cam) and one at home]


The one at home is at least 3 years old and still going strong - it didn't even complain when I plugged it into my new Mac.  :)



> I use the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro ... have to hoard them carefully

 

Before the 4000's I had 2 x Natural Pro's and a bona fide original Natural, I miss the convenience of the USB hub in the Pro; those things were built to last but were just too big and bulky so I flicked them - and the original Natural - on TradeMe.

Shame I didn't know about your hoard I would have gladly passed them on.  :)
