If you just recently purchased your new PC, laptop, notebook or netbook, then you have landed on the right page. Perhaps you are wondering how you can increase your productivity working with your new laptop. On this page you will find out the four reasons why it might be important for you to buy a wireless computer mouse right away. If you haven't purchased your new computer yet, it is good to know that Dell, HP and other companies offer branded wireless computer mice as an add on during the customization process.

Also, if you have been using a touchpad on your laptop, or a wired mouse on your computer, and something does not feel right, listen up! Your productivity may be impaired. The four reasons why you need a wireless computer mouse right away are: Cable mess on a PC or Mac if you have a desktop computer, and Your big thumb if you have a laptop touchpad, Gaming, and Precision. Let's look at all four reasons individually.

Cable mess with the wired mouse on your PC or Mac

Mouse cables are so 20th century when it comes to desktops and laptops. They can easily get tangled, and some people have devised elaborate mechanisms with weights on the back of their desks just to keep the wires straight! No need for that. Today's wireless mice are a much better choice precision-wise and ergonomics-wise, and look, there are no wires to mess with!

Your big thumb or big pointing finger on the laptop touchpad

Some laptops have nice, indented touchpads with a well defined rim. Others, especially netbooks from certain manufacturers, just have a touchpad "area" that can be felt by the presence of the bumps that are scattered throughout the touchpad area. For speed and due to its position, most people use the thumb or the pointing finger for the touchpad navigation.

Why is thumb a problem? First off, it is difficult to determine where the thumb is relative to the rim of the touchpad with such a system. I never had patience enough to try to completely figure it out. Second, if your thumb is as big as mine, you will end up working with a very low precision, and a lot of trial and error, and back and forth with any touchpad. Using the pointing finger might be a bit better than using a thumb but not by that much. So getting a wireless computer mouse, or wireless laptop mouse is a solution to the people who use the thumb or the pointing finger a lot for windows navigation and pointer control.

Need a wireless gaming mouse

As you can imagine, gaming requires fast action. Some studies have shown that the gamers hand travels as fast as 2.5 meters/second during the fast gaming action.Also, gaming can become emotional, and by tapping on your touchpad you could seriously disturb your laptop's inner workings. Additionally, the touchpad is much less precise and you may end up with one slow and failure-ridden game that you will likely lose if you use a touchpad. For these reasons I do not recommend using your laptop's touchpad for the game control. Wireless computer mouse, especially the so called "gaming mouse" or "gamer mouse" on the other hand, are made for gaming. They will perform the fast paced commands flawlessly.

Precision

Sometimes you need just precision and not so much speed. Again, when precision is required, a wireless computer mouse will beat touchpad every time. For the highest precision pick the DPI, dots per inch, rating of 1000 or more.

There. Four big reasons why you should use a wireless computer mouse instead of the wired one or even the touchpad. Do any of these reasons apply to you? If they do, you know what to do. You can keep your touchpad as a secondary device, but get a wireless computer mouse right away. Your productivity and gaming provess will soar.
