Wireless Mouse Purchase

Hi,
I've been using Microsoft ''Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2'' since jan 2005 and up to now,it has worked as expected.But recently the ''right click button'' is not responding as before.I have to really drive it down hard,for it to work properly.I gather it's at the end of it's life after 3 years!
I'm going to buy a new one,but I'd like to know advantages (If Any) between a Wireless or Laser type Mouse !
I'd love to hear of someones experience with a Laser type Mouse,and whether they'd recommended it over a Wireless one.Thanks.

 

i have a logitech laser (not sure which one) it was dear but goodness me it is excellent very very responsive
i reckon my last one was the same one you have now.

 

Man,that's what I call a quick response!
Thanks.Is it normal,that it would last only 3 years!Is yours still functional,if not how long did it last?

 

it still works i just got a new one

i have a couple of the old ball ones from over ten years ago they just sit in the shed because you never know when you might need it ??

 

I'm getting a new ''Wireless Optical Mouse'' as I'm told there is no great advantage between it and a Laser type one.Nice to have a spare,just in case! Thanks
