2025 Mouse Market

I decided to embrace 2025 and finally go wireless with my mouse game. What a mistake. I just burnt 90 minutes searching high and low, trying (and failing) to make a decision. My stream of consciousness for the last 90 mins went a bit like this: How are there so many options? Will this work with my mac or not? Will it make me install some horrible software? Just what is DPI and Hz and why should I care?

Decline of Google Search

I remember when I was introduced to Google Search. I found myself – a young boy – slightly lost amongst the shelves of our local library. Turning a corner, I stopped to gaze at a cramped desk overladen with three CRT computer monitors. We didn’t have a home computer, but my father had, on the rare occasion, let me play Bow & Arrow on his work ThinkPad. A librarian must have noticed my curiosity and asked if I had used something called the web before.
