It lasts far longer than my laptop battery, so I'm satisfied.

My Logitech wireless laser mouse goes for week without needing to be recharged. No batteries to replace, just pop it in the charging unit overnight. It is model MX-1000. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. I've had to replace the left-click micro switch a couple of times, but it isn't difficult to do and more recent versions (MX Revolution) of the mouse are not as versatile.

My personal preference is a trackball. I'm currently using the MX Ergo made by Logitech. The M570 is cheaper but, lately, they don't seem to last as long. My wife prefers using a touchpad and a while back we bought her a Logitech K830 keyboard that has a touchpad where the numeric keypad would normally be. It's wireless.
Hope this helps.

I came to prefer using a Wacom Tablet with stylus. Direct mapping from pad to screen meant that I didn’t have to shuffle the mouse over and over to move it across a wide or multiple screens. Some models allow for touch (fingertip / multiple finger) and gestures.
The downside was the desk space it takes. But I got used to it.
Since I retired, I opted for a gaming mouse due to desktop size, and not spending 8 to 12 hours on it. Currently using a wired Roccat mouse. It’s programmable and precise.
It’s all personal preference, so, as another commentator said, all this is opinion.
Good luck

I prefer wireless mice and just to clarify.
I never turn it off and it lasts about a year before I have to change the battery and I use it a lot. Hours a day.

I use a Logitech wireless mouse and a Logitech trackball and alternate them when the batteries run out. The idea is to reduce the chance of OOS by using different muscles.

Eye tracking?
It seems like a hi def web cam should be able to drive it.

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

Just a general question. Has anyone else here had to deal with updating applications that were originally designed for Internet Explorer?
The client I have been working for has a few hundred such apps, and want to migrate everything to MS Edge (chromium version) before IE goes out of support on June 15th.
Some of these are really old, and some use rather odd switches that don't exist in Edge (--no frame merging for example).
For a lot of these we will run in IE Mode on Edge, but even that will reach end of support in the future, and further work will be required.
Likewise they have several windows apps using the WebBrowser (IE) control that will also need updating to use the WebView2 (Edge chromium) control. But it has a different API and will require significant recoding. Plus the WebView2 control itself does not support IE mode, which could be another hurdle.
I welcome any advice on this. I have several ideas, but welcome hearing your own experience with this.

We had a few sites that we totally redid from scratch so they would support phones and tablets as well via Twitter bootstrap.
The bigger problem could be what is the source that generates the old HTML: code or some form of template file?
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of these are ASP. Net sites for web apps, and. Net WinForms for the desktop apps.
We are not looking to re-engineer these sites, just patch them enough so that they will run in Edge. Not much of a budget for much else unfortunately.

If you have thousands of ASP pages, some sort of automated conversion might be worth building.
It might even be possible to write a JavaScript helper utility that dumps rendered pages into CSS equivalent elements with style attributes (or even just for a few critical elements like TABLE where old HTML attributes need to be converted)
We have used forward generation at least twice to have old UI definitions generate the new UI definitions for 1500 pages.

A good idea. But the apps have been written over 20+ years, and use a variety of technologies, frameworks, libraries, etc. So there is no consistent set of "issues" and not likely to find a way to script out a solution.
For example, one of these apps was written on Visual InterDev with classic ASP. It's huge and no one wants to take on the immense task of migrating it to. Net. A fix for this will not aplly to any of these other apps.
I have not been a contractor here too long 3+ years), but from what I can tell their dev teams did not follow a consistent plan when developing their apps. So the range of technologies used is all over the map. Their flagship application is written on a Java platform/framework, but is very dependent on IE to work. I am glad that I don't have to deal with that directly, though I have been sharing my findings with them.
If it was just the HTML/JS that was the issue, this would be trivial to deal with. But there are some things that are either a) very IE specific, or b) not supported in modern browsers because they security issues. This is where I am focusing my efforts.
One thing that is helpful is that they have moved all their code repositories into Azure DevOps git. That does make it easy to search across all the repos for any specific bits of code (ex. use of file protocol to access local or network files). So once an issue is identified, I can at least search for which apps might have that same code issue.

Definitely search for uses of the IE window.showModalDialog, especially occurrences that utilize the returned result.
That one is very high risk to convert since it is a blocking call.
