No little gray mousies here

By Mir

June 28, 2010

My computer is a laptop, but as often as possible I work at my desktop setup where I have a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This is because I’m old and prone to carpal tunnel, and I’m very sensitive about my mice. Like, I will try mouse after mouse at the store, and reject the ones that don’t feel right because my wrists (if not the rest of me) are lovely and delicate. Ahem.

That said, until recently my mouse was a boring gray thing that felt great, but looked incredibly boring.

Now, however, I have a mouse that not only works great and keeps my wrist happy, it’s pretty, too! The nice folks at Logitech sent me a Logitech M310 wireless mouse in “red tendrils,” and now my desktop looks a lot fancier. This is one of the offerings in their new Logitech Fantasy Collection, which is a more dignified way of say “Oooooh, pretty!” It’s the Logitech dependability you love, with pretty new exteriors to boost your computer’s self esteem. (I may be reaching just a little, but only a little.)

Lucky for you, it turns out that Logitech sent one mouse for me, and one mouse for you! Want to win it? First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, July 1st, 2010 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and fanciness. (Oh, you’re fancy. I can tell.)

Ready? Go!

Oooh…very pretty!
Angela on June 28, 2010 at 2:30 pm

Is it just me or does “tendrills” look at a side glance like “entrails”? Yeah I thought so… Still though even with the easily messed up name it is a sweet looking mouse!
Brenda on June 28, 2010 at 2:31 pm

Stephanie on June 28, 2010 at 3:02 pm

Neat-o! That would be cool for school.
Jess on June 28, 2010 at 3:02 pm

Sadly, I did actually look at the mice (mouses?) and say, “Ooh, pretty!”

Chris on June 28, 2010 at 3:43 pm

My 7 yr old would be so jealous if my mouse was fancier than hers! (I would probably trade with her if she didn’t whine!) 🙂
Karen on June 28, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Ooooh, fancy! Way better looking than the mouse I found in my oven….bleh!
firelady on June 28, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Tanya on June 28, 2010 at 3:47 pm

OK, I’ll go and work at the old Mac upstairs if I can have a pretty new mouse for it. It will make my husband very happy to not have to share the current workspace anymore. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
Dorothy on June 28, 2010 at 3:49 pm

New mice are nice. My old mouse double clicks everything which is not a nice mouse.
GrandeMocha on June 28, 2010 at 3:50 pm

Me, me, me! I need something cool to motivate me to work.

Cool. I want one.
RachelJ on June 28, 2010 at 3:56 pm

My son has a netbook and a similar set-up. His favorite color just happens to be red and he’d like the ‘entrails’ look 😉
Janie on June 28, 2010 at 4:03 pm

I could use a cool, fancy, dependable mouse (as opposed to the other kind …… that are in my garage) ;o
Christine on June 28, 2010 at 4:06 pm

I was just rubbing my achy wrist – too much mouse-ing today! I’d love to give this one a try!
Lanos on June 28, 2010 at 4:08 pm

CrystalGB on June 28, 2010 at 4:09 pm

That’s pretty, and it would match my red laptop! (as would that awesome stripey one…)
hannita on June 28, 2010 at 4:38 pm

I was JUST looking at that very same mouse on Amazon! I’m desperate for a wireless mouse that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. And that one is very, very pretty.
CarolM on June 28, 2010 at 4:39 pm

Ooh, pretty!
Becky on June 28, 2010 at 4:40 pm

Please enter me!
Sabrina D. on June 28, 2010 at 4:59 pm

not fancy but love mice!
Juli on June 28, 2010 at 5:00 pm

I always see these great items as contest prizes and always think of the perfect person that would love it. I like the cheapo mouse all day long. The wireless seemed unreliable to me, but my brother-in-law would think it is groovy.
connieh30 on June 28, 2010 at 5:03 pm

EEEKKKK! I love it.
Linda on June 28, 2010 at 5:03 pm

I think it should be called tail-less. And is it really almost July!! Where did June go?

Oooh, shiny! I accidentally broke my last mouse and have been living by touchpad (ew) ever since.
HeidiM on June 28, 2010 at 5:14 pm

It would be a tremendous improvement over the laptop’s touchpad! And pretty too!
Patti Coiner on June 28, 2010 at 5:19 pm

love it! Need a new one pretty please.
Patti
teri on June 28, 2010 at 5:24 pm

Red is my favorite color! Looks awesome. 🙂
Carla on June 28, 2010 at 5:31 pm

I would love to win!
Diane on June 28, 2010 at 5:40 pm

I would much rather have this mouse than the one that has been nibbling in my bread drawer this week – ew!
Aimee on June 28, 2010 at 5:41 pm

I love fancy mice 🙂
VirginiaMom on June 28, 2010 at 6:07 pm

I need a cute mouse!
mamabird on June 28, 2010 at 6:14 pm

My current mouse got laughed at awhile back because the guy “hadn’t seen one of those in ages”.
Mary Ann on June 28, 2010 at 6:20 pm

Let me win, please let me win!
Karen on June 28, 2010 at 6:38 pm

Would love to win one of these.

I’d love a new mouse!
Kyallee on June 28, 2010 at 7:04 pm

My PS/2 mouse is on its last legs. It would be wonderful to join the 21st century *and* have a replacement ready when it dies. Thanks!
Kate on June 28, 2010 at 7:10 pm

That’s an awfully pretty mouse!
Kris on June 28, 2010 at 7:15 pm

Very cute!
Valarie on June 28, 2010 at 7:28 pm

Can’t go wrong with a Logitech mouse! Or keyboard either, for that matter.
No Drama Mama on June 28, 2010 at 7:48 pm

EXTREME cuteness! Just like you, Mir! 😉
Kenna B on June 28, 2010 at 7:50 pm

BethR on June 28, 2010 at 8:54 pm

Shiny!
the celt (jessica) on June 28, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Whoa, I hope the one you’re giving away is the red one and that I get it, because that would match my office! (So would the peacock one, so don’t think I’m too picky. 😉 )

jessica (formerly jess of takeflightwithinconsideratewings)
Amy on June 28, 2010 at 9:25 pm

Oooohhh. I love it!
Daisy on June 28, 2010 at 9:30 pm

This mouse would look a lot prettier than the small furry one that keeps trying to sneak into my kitchen.
Shelly on June 28, 2010 at 9:35 pm

Oh oh oh!! I wanna red mouse!!!!
Lexi G on June 28, 2010 at 9:43 pm

Cool, thanks Mir!
Eva on June 28, 2010 at 10:17 pm

I may not be fancy yet, but this mouse would help get me there.
Gail on June 28, 2010 at 10:18 pm

I get so tired of the same old mouse! Thanks for this opportunity.
Barb Szyszkiewicz on June 28, 2010 at 10:20 pm

The only mouse I want in my house. I hope I win!
Jenn on June 28, 2010 at 11:22 pm

My desktop is a sad, old thing now that I’ve got my shiny new laptop. This mouse would be just the thing to spruce it up!
Lynne on June 28, 2010 at 11:38 pm

Wow, it just so happens I need a new mouse. This would be wonderful.

brenda on June 29, 2010 at 8:34 am

This would be great since my mouse died yesterday !

Squeek!
Kate on June 29, 2010 at 8:18 pm

Much prettier than a boring gray mouse!
Mittany on June 29, 2010 at 9:51 pm

omg! I have a laptop (at work) and use the touch pad – because I hate having to switch between keyboard and mouse. Plus – it’s always cramping my writing space. But my delicate wrists are indicating maybe I need a mouse.

I was searching for one today – and decided anything beyond $20 – was past my price point.

However FREE is EXACTLY right! Dear RNG – choose ME!
lisabug on June 30, 2010 at 12:09 am

Here mousie, mousie, mousie! 🙂
Lori on June 30, 2010 at 8:21 am

What a pretty little mouse! Thanks!

Kelly on June 30, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Me me me! 🙂
Patricia on June 30, 2010 at 2:55 pm

Adorable. And would allow me to leave my work mouse and my desk and keep one in the laptop bag.
Randi on June 30, 2010 at 2:55 pm

MIR! My wireless mouse just DIED and I really need a new one! And that one is bee-you-tea-full!! I’d love to win it, pretty please? Oh, and you’re pretty too ;).
Chuck on June 30, 2010 at 3:05 pm

I’ve had my current Logitech mouse for something like 10 years now and I still love it. However, it may be time for an upgrade…and if it was a free upgrade so much the better.
MamaChristy on June 30, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Well, uh, yes! please!
Billie on June 30, 2010 at 3:12 pm

I use a mouse with my laptop for the same reason. It’s just better.
Mama Bear on June 30, 2010 at 3:12 pm

I am on my second mouse THIS MONTH. I would love one that worked!

Cathy on June 30, 2010 at 5:16 pm

How neat!!
tracyj71 on June 30, 2010 at 5:18 pm

My lovely and delicate (read: tired and numb) wrists would LOVE a decent mouse!
James on June 30, 2010 at 6:27 pm

Forget the mouse; I’m in love with the receiver
Julie Hutchinson on June 30, 2010 at 6:27 pm

My mouse is 7 years old…time for a new one, I’d say!
Bethany on June 30, 2010 at 7:15 pm

I don’t know how I could have been reading your other blog for so long and not known about this one! Anyhow, looks like a good day to add it to my blog list, since you’re having a contest! 🙂
zobabe on June 30, 2010 at 7:28 pm

I love Logitech mice! I totally need a new one, too. RNG, do your thing…

Northside Food on June 30, 2010 at 9:28 pm

I could definitely use a wireless mouse. I’m tired of tripping over cords.
Clara on June 30, 2010 at 9:30 pm

Love the idea of treating myself to a new mouse (or to having Logitech treat me to a new mouse), so I’m keeping all fingers crossed. Thanks!
