your company obviously buys you good mice……
people in my office have been killed for offences less than grating the supplied mice across desks ……
As per footflaps, it is just a fairly inexpensive Genius mouse but it has four little teflon pads and slides fine (as long as they are kept clean).
To be honest if work gave me a really crap mouse I’d go out and buy my own. I’m using it for 8 hours a day so makes sense to have something decent.

I dunno.. I seem to be doing ok.
I worked for six months once just using a bare laptop. Developed a weird RSI twitchy spasm in my right thumb which has never completely gone away. Can’t say I’d recommend it.
You can pick up a reasonable USB mouse+keyboard combo for about £15. And a cheapy TFT screen for £50.
The only issue I can see is that, although I’ve used mouse mats for over 10 years, I can’t actually remember buying one…
I think this is a very good point! Pretty common freebie so not something I’d ever spend money on unless it was really nice.
