Gadget Stimulus Plan Day 6: Win a Logitech V550 Cordless Mouse

We’re trying to close your gadget deficit while the economy’s in the dumps with the Gadget Stimulus Plan. Today we’re giving away a Logitech V550 cordless mouse that features the Clip-and-Go dock and a tiny USB adapter that’s small enough to leave plugged into your tablet or notebook.

The Clip-and Go dock sticks to any computer and can be easily removed with an included tool.

I’ve used a Logitech V550 cordless mouse for the past couple of days and found it comfortable and easy to use. It retails for $59.99 at Logitech.com and most major retailers.

Whenever I can, I use a mouse.
I never found a touchpad or eraser head I liked.
I did not have an opportunity to try touchscreen yet - that looks promising to me. The best solution I used was a mini trackball located on the front edge of the laptop, perfectly positioned for use with either the left or right thumb (the keyboard was near the front of the laptop, no touchpad); there were right and left buttons on each side of the ball, but one could press the ball to do a left click - very comfortable, great control. Too bad laptops are too thin these days for this type of solution...

mouse!

Andrew

On a desktop computer, I prefer to use a trackball. On a notebook, I prefer a trackpoint.

Gregory Larsen

its all about the little blue trac point for me--that is until i get my hands on a realy mouse.

Sushrukh

I prefer using a mouse.

Corinne

I prefer a mouse. I love laptops but I'm always reaching for a mouse.

I have one of those mouse... things (lol) with the ball at work so I don't have to moving it around, I can just move my fingers, but I think optical mice (mouse... mouses?) are great too.

Heather

It has to be a mouse. I use a touchpad when I have to, but I just find I can navigate faster with a mouse.

Ben

I use a mouse at home, usually, but everywhere else i use my thinkpad x61t's trackpoint. it's awesome. i HATE laptop touchpads. i also use the stylus when i use slate-mode, of course.

Arif Lukito

A wireless mouse definitely, small enough to carry but not too small to get uncomfortable.

Alex

I surely prefer the mouse, but I have been accustomed easily to the eraser-head, which I feel is faster to use than the touchpad.

Monica Butuc

I don't like the touchpad because it takes too long to manage the applications and files,especially when you're used with fast multi-tasking.
I prefer the mouse, especially a wireless model with long battery life, and I consider it to be the most reliable tool for controlling my computer.
One main disadvantage of not having a mouse is when you travel by car and you have to rely on the laptop's touchpad - very annoying.

mouse pen

M@rc

A wireless mouse is surely the perfect thing. However, I use alot the pen and the red dot/mouse on my X200T lenovo tablet pc and I find both quite effective.

Marc

Wireless mouse is the way to go all the way.

jeff

Mouse or eraserhead.

Luis Reyes

I either use a mouse or my tablets pen

Kathleen

I carry a mouse and an extension cord for use if power is available.

Herman

Mouse work best

Peter

I prefer touch first. After that I go for a mouse. Finally, I would use the touchpad.

Howard

oddly enough, though I carry a BT mouse with me, I find myself using the track nub a lot more

Ken

1. HP 17" laptop, wireless MS mouse; if I'm going really light, just me Axim x51v
2. mouse is best for me, I can't stand the touch pad or nubby

Clayton

When not at a desk, trackpoint for the win! Trackpads are awful. When at a desk, I like to use the good old fashioned mouse for drawing and quick navigation.

I also like my tablet digitizer, but my pen is broken at the moment...

Tanya Anna Wilson

1)We don't have any snazzy accesories for the HP Paviliion dv7 notebook besides the standard power cord and a full size wired mouse. The Logitech V550 Cordless Mouse would be a perfect start!
2)my DH and I prefer using a mouse, I find myself being clumsy using the touchpad, and it ends up taking me a longer time to do something that should be quick.

Michael Anderson

My favorite clickable was the pop-out mouse on the HP OmniBook ... I still have my 800CT running nicely!

Other than that I prefer a Mouse, followed by a trackpad, but can do the eraser-head stick if necessary.

Dean Rush

I use the trackpoint when out and about and a mouse at home.

Reeve

I carry the following accessories:

1) USB Mouse
2) Cleaning cloth and liquid (for the screen)
3) USB HUB (HP's not generous with USB Ports :| )
4) Wireless modem

y v sai madhav

I am most comfortable with a mouse.

drrg

I usually use the Trackpoint, but at home I like to plug in a mouse.

Grant

without a doubt a mouse, I hate touchpads.

barbarabaker

I would prefer a mouse over anything, but right now all I have is the touchpad on my laptop. When it comes to games, that's when I really wish I had a mouse...
