[syncsailor]

at this point, i only have the trackpad that is on my powerbook. any recommendations for a mouse or trackball for controlling logic? also... can a scroll wheel be used for controlling the faders?

I just use a regular Logitech MX mouse, never really cared for the Apple mice.

not just a luxury...it really helps avoid any rsi-like pains associated with gripping mieces (i hate them mieces to pieces)

 

great scroll ring

 

able to cross large distances ( my 2 screen set-up) quickly with just a flick of the fingers

 

less desk space

 

4 large assignable buttons (just wish i knew how to assing the top 2)

I'm with Tarekith, I use a LogitTech MX mouse, and it works amazingly. Very accurate. Easily recharged. No wires... tidy desk. Nice!

 

One word of warning about wireless mice I posted in this thread... see last posting: http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=8948&highlight=mouse+monitors

what kind of commands you guys use the extra buttons and scroll wheels on these mice for? just wondering whether changing from the apple mouse will actually give me more flexibility in mixing, tracking etc.

 

also, where do you set up the commands? in the mouse software or in logic?

 

thanks a lot.
