Classic mice/mouse recommendations?

#1 Post by johnny1093 » Sat Nov 01, 2025 9:01 pm

I got into ThinkPads recently and have been really impressed with the build quality of the x61 and x220 and was wondering: are there any wired or wireless mice from that era that have analogous build quality? It's a little hard to tell what's good quality just by looking at random posts on ebay. I would even be open to recommendations from earlier than the time period those machines are from, but I understand that the precision/accuracy of the mice might drops noticeably if you go back too far. I'm mostly just looking for something that feels like it fits with those ThinkPads if that makes sense...
T420, X220T, X61T :mrgreen:

Quite modern, but the Logitech M330 Silent Plus is a simple design, just the 2 buttons on top and a (click)wheel.
My family has been using these mice for years.

But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!

I had one of these back when I ran my 19" CRT at 1024x768. I recall it working well and being sturdy.
