Hey all, not sure really where to post this but could really use the input.

I have the Logitech Wingman Gaming mouse (see picture), I've had it for years, I love this mouse dearly. Im looking to buy another one since the buttons are becomming non responsive but can't find it ANYWHERE! Prehaps yall could suggest a nice 3 button (like the wingman) optical alternative or even find the wingman it self.

Only bump after 24 hours have gone by. 6 is plainly too quick - 3/4 of the world haven't had chance to see your post yet.

This might help.

Thanks for your reply, alas I've tryed searching the net, pricewatch, google, ebay ect.. with no luck

I'll assume that this mouse is no longer being manufactured, and if so, if you can't locate a replacement via Google, Ebay, Pricewatch, etc, then you may just have to accept that you'll need to switch to another model.

I'd suggest checking here: www.newegg.com Newegg rocks. -- J.W.

Ya I love New egg, it just seems companies wont make mice without a scroll wheel anymore =/

I have just been to the Logitech website - looking at their mouse list, all their mice are avec scroll wheel.

Looks like J.W. is right - you'll have to switch. Unless you can try second hand shops, pawn shops, ads in computer mags, and other less mainstream methods.

If you can't find a mouse like that, maybe you can change your XF86Config file so that the wheel doesn't work - so many threads where they want it the other way. Then, you could at least find one with a fat wheel. A thought. I'll look around too.

Ya I acutally had the same idea, however I have seen mice out there with no scroll wheel. I actually even found a site that sells not the wingman, but the same mouse its called like an s82 or something, also by logitech. Only thing is its PS/2 which really isn't a problem i guess, i do prefer USB, but the company has REALLLLLY bad reviews and i'd rather not order from them hehe. Thanks for your reply tho
