Kid's Mice

skaheadpunk · 21st Aug 2006, 10:25 PM

Hello,

I've got a son (nearly 3 now), and he is very interested in the computer and some very simple games - but I can't find a mouse small enough for him to use easily. All the children's ones out there seem to be not much smaller than an adult mouse. I was thinking of this as it is the smallest thing I can find (he has tiny hands, and we can set up any mouse to have all the buttons as a left-click). Anybody else found a solution to this one or have any suggestions?

Cheers,
Em

Hmm when my brother started using the PC (around that age) we just had him use the normal sized mouse.

I bought a cheap and small optical mouse for my daughter.
Turned out to have much higher resolution than my ordinary mouse, so we had to differentiate the mouse sensitivity for her user account.
