Adelaide Techguy2 Comments

I have been using the Logitech MX Vertical Mouse for a few weeks now and when you first see it the thing that strikes you is the unusual design and shape. It is an ergonomic mouse and is designed to “reduce muscle strain, decrease wrist pressure, and improve posture” I was sceptical when i first saw it – I did convey that to Logitech but to their credit they understood my concerns but still sent me one to review.

if you haven't used Skype or given it a miss for a while why not try it again.

The
video has been vastly improved and is much larger now ( 640 x 480
pixels ) from the older versions and the feature I like is that you can
get 9 people in a conference call.

Remember with a broadband connection you will also get excellent sound quality and calling from computer to computer is free.

My big tip though is to use a usb headphone microphone for improved quality.

My favorite is the Plantronics , and by using the USB mic you will notice a difference in quality.

For video try any of the Logitech video cameras.

Remember though a broadband connection works best and the quicker your connection and the person you are calling the better.
