When performing labor tasks in public places and even at home, a person’s working capacity can either increase significantly or be reduced to a minimum.
Computer mouse problems
Quite often, people encounter difficulties associated with the functioning of a computer mouse. When performing work tasks on a laptop, tablet or smartphone, computer peripherals may not be needed, but this part is considered an integral part of the computer. After a certain period of time of use, problems may appear that will not only interfere, but also annoy. One of them is the noisy work of technology that interferes with others. You can forget about concentration in this situation. Just imagine that every time you press the keys on a computer mouse, there are crackling sounds of the wheel and “click” of the buttons.
How to choose a silent mouse?
Proper selection of a computer mouse will improve the productivity of work or study. It is worth acquiring such equipment on your own, relying on your own feelings. An excellent option would be to examine the mouse and try to move it on the table. Choosing silent mice for a computer is only the size and design that best suits the PC owner. So, in more detail.
Logitech
When choosing a silent mouse for a computer, you should opt for Logitech, a company that is rapidly developing in technology. The Logitech Silent brand offers a large number of original and insanely comfortable computer mice with up to 90% noise reduction. In addition, all silent computer mice are made of high quality materials that ensure smooth movement of equipment on the surface of the desktop.
It is worth noting that only computer mice for Logitech Silent operation have been awarded the Quiet Mark certification from the International Noise Association. To date, the following models in demand by buyers can be found on the market:

HP Computer Mice
What other brands are worth mentioning? An excellent option would be to buy a silent mouse for a computer from the American company Hewlett-Packard, which has been working in the field for more than 75 years. information technologies. Popular models from HP are:
- HP X3000 Wireless Black (H2C22AA);
- HP N4G65AA;
- HP 200 X6W31AA Black.
Wireless Mice DNS
Computer mice with silent buttons were also introduced by DNS. Optical technology operates within a radius of 10 m and has three keys, a scroll wheel. Thanks to special buttons, the mouse can be used at night without disturbing the silence. Silent mice for a computer, the review and characteristics of which can be found literally everywhere, are considered popular budget models.
Apple: computer mice
An excellent option would be to use computer mice from Apple. They quickly connect to equipment and are characterized by uninterrupted operation thanks to a sensitive sensor, namely the Multi-Touch area, which literally occupies the entire surface of the Magic Mouse computer mouse. In addition, any part of it can be used as a button due to a specially built-in chip. The weight of the mouse is 10-15 grams. You can connect the equipment using Bluetooth and the Lightning port. You can only use this mouse if you have a Mac computer. The equipment automatically connects to it and is instantly ready for use.
Before you choose a mouse for a silent computer, you should determine:
- An optical or laser mouse is required.
- What form will be most convenient.
- It is better to purchase a wired or wireless silent mouse.
Laser differs from optical in that it has a high-resolution sensor and an accurate cursor. Laser equipment for a laptop or computer needs less battery replacement and is able to work even on uneven surfaces, glass or a mirror. An LED or optical mouse is equipped with a special diode that detects the movement of the cursor on the screen. An optical computer silent mouse works worse on a glossy table surface. The form, which is constantly used, should be comfortable and simple so that the hand does not get tired during work.
Choosing silent computer mouse, it is worth deciding on its purpose. To work on the Internet, conventional wired equipment is quite suitable. And for working with images and videos, you should choose a silent mouse with fast scrolling and a sensitive sensor. Whatever type of device from the proposed ones is chosen, computer equipment will allow you to work comfortably in public places, as well as save the sleep of loved ones and relatives.
Some users like loud keyboards, such as the gaming or classic Clicker, and mice with a clear click, which in addition to tactile and sound information about button operation. But the people around are not very happy with such loud devices. The same Razer was forced under pressure from girlfriends and wives of gamers to release a quiet version Razer Black Widow Stealth Edition.
Nevertheless, the editors of the site did not even suspect the existence of completely silent mice, during the development of which silence was put at the head of the corner, until several Silent Mouse from the Dutch company Nexus Technology. Let's get to know them better.
Understand why these mice are called Silent Mouse, you can only personally try one of them. They are not just quiet, they are really silent. You can hear a light blurry click only by bringing your ear to the device itself. At first, this is somewhat discouraging and even difficult to work with. Although in fact the keys Nexus Silent Mouse very responsive, informative and work out clicks perfectly, the user still lacks a click to confirm the action. After all, we are so accustomed to hearing this sound during pressing that its absence is perceived as a lack of information. You just can't tell if the button is pressed or not.
However, you get used to it quite quickly, especially if you are used to working with music turned on or playing with headphones. Again, modern touchpads in laptops, touch interfaces in smartphones and tablets do not emit the usual clicks, and many are already used to this. 
Who needs a silent mouse? On the Nexus website, developers cite audio and TV studios as an example, but such a device can also be useful at home, if the computer is installed in a room where another tenant is resting, say in student dormitories or a bedroom. Or if you are used to working and playing at night, and your loved ones are disturbed by clicking the mouse in especially hot battles. However, here you should definitely take care of a silent keyboard, but we did not find such a device on the Nexus website. It will not be superfluous to use a silent cooling system in the case of a desktop PC.
Secret Silent Mouse– Patented switches that hide the click sound. The main question is how reliable this mechanism is and how long it will dampen sounds with such high quality during daily use of the device. It is also worth considering that the scroll wheel here is a little louder than the buttons, and the rustling of the legs on the rug has not gone away. In addition, if you are used to not pressing, but slightly hitting the buttons, you will still hear the sound of a click.
Now briefly about the models available for sale Silent Mouse.

The first model, the SM-5000, had three buttons and two scroll wheels. There are three positions of the DPI sensor: at 1000, 1200 and 1600. But the main thing is the silent click technology Silent Switch. The mouse did not make the usual click when pressing the keys. Later, the line was supplemented by the SM-7000, 8000, 8500 and 9000 series. We suggest considering latest version 9000B from Nexus.

There is an automatic power saving mode, in a state of inactivity, the mouse turns off after 8 minutes. The disadvantage of the model is that it is designed only for the right hand.
Silent mice from Logitech
Under the motto “enjoy the silence”, the Swiss company has created a series of silent mice for the computer:
- M220 Silent;
- M330 Silent Plus - improved version of M220;
- M590 Silent Wireless Mouse;
The click sound of models is reduced by 90% and is almost inaudible. For this innovation, Logitech received the Quiet Mark certification from the International Society for the Defense of Silence. The controllers have a universal design, ergonomics and, of course, Swiss quality.
Logitech M330 for 880 rubles.
Silent computer mouse wireless connection 2.4 GHz. The controller has an exceptionally spartan streamlined design with simple lines. No extra buttons or third scroll wheel. Everything is very ascetic. Compact size 105.4x67.9x38.4 mm, recessed edges for thumb and little finger. Thanks to the soft-touch matte finish, the device is comfortable and pleasant to hold.
The controller is designed using energy-saving engineering. If the mouse is not used for more than 8 minutes, it will automatically turn off. The technology significantly saves battery power and a standard AAA battery lasts for 24 months. The default resolution is set to 1000 DPI, there is no way to adjust it. In this, the model is inferior to the SM-9000B mouse. But at work with office programs or Internet surfing, this fact is not reflected in any way.
Logitech pays Special attention laser tracking technologies. For controllers, the Darkfield system is used, thanks to which the device works on any surface. The mouse can be driven over a woolen blanket like a computer rug.

Expensive, silent and wireless computer mouse. The manufacturer justifies the price by the fact that the controller is multi-device. With it, you can work on several computers or laptops at once. The cursor will move across the screens without problems, as if on one large monitor. All thanks to innovative Logitech Flow technologies, which the company intends to implement in other peripheral devices.
The developers added additional side buttons for the thumb to the M590 package. Therefore, the mouse is conditionally considered symmetrical, but more suitable for the right hand. The controller also has a modified scroll wheel. Now it is not only silent, but also ultra-precise, with a large number steps per millimeter and the function of the central button.
The cover is made of high-quality and pleasant to the touch plastic. Thanks to its ergonomic and streamlined shape, the controller fits perfectly in your hand. Even after many hours of use, the wrist does not feel discomfort and tension. Comes with USB switch and AAA battery for two years of use. Although at this price it may not seem enough.

In China, the company is one of the leaders in the production of computer peripherals and confidently occupies 60% of the entire market. But in the CIS countries, the Rapoo brand is only gaining popularity.
Products belong to the budget segment computer devices. The mice of this company are much cheaper than the device from famous brands, but have similar functionality. The company itself explains the low cost by the absence of unnecessary links in the production and marketing process. Everything (from concept to packaging) is created at the Rapoo factories.

A special coating and rubberized embossed sides allow the fingers to glide. The mouse fits completely in the palm of your hand and does not cause discomfort even after several hours of continuous play.

The silent mouse from the VEGCOO trademark completes the rating. The manufacturer has focused on design. The buyer is offered to choose a model to their liking from seven color schemes, including non-standard raspberry and lilac shades. The top panels are also available in three versions: strict matte, glossy and glitter.
Fashionable and original controller is suitable for students, schoolchildren and just creative people. But appearance- this is not the main advantage. We can say with confidence that VEGCOO C2 is the quietest mouse. Click sound reduced by as much as 95%!
The model has additional functionality in the form of a switch for 800-1200-1600 DPI and a power saving mode. It's not for nothing that three-quarters of Amazon buyers gave the mouse a five-star rating. The kit also comes with a nano-receiver, a proprietary battery that lasts for 10 months, and instructions.
How to make a mouse silent?
Master's response:
Clicking while pressing the mouse button is annoying for many, especially for those whose households like to sit at the computer longer at night. In addition, this problem concerns parents of young children.
We need a screwdriver.
Let's remove the body of our manipulator. Unscrew the screws holding it, which are located on the back and in the battery department, if we have wireless model. Let's remove the walls of the case - for this we pry them with a thin flat screwdriver. After that, unscrew the compartment with buttons. Find the mouse microswitch. As a rule, its design provides for a spring mechanism in the form of a metal plate.
Let's carefully change its bend in such a way that during pressing it practically does not make various sounds. By changing the bend, we will select the desired angle.
When opening the covers of microcontrollers, you need to use a needle or a thin crochet hook, otherwise we can break it. By changing the bend, pressing the mouse also changes slightly, so it will be somewhat inconvenient, but the operation of the device will be silent.
We will use rubber membrane buttons, which can be bought at a radio engineering store. It is better to use the first method, since it is quite rare to find buttons with a metal plate on sale. We will also simply disassemble the mouse and install the button in the mechanism, and after checking its pressing, we will assemble the pointing device.
We recommend paying attention to touch mice, which are currently found in stores. This option is not the most convenient, but it is suitable for those who do not want to disassemble the mouse. These devices are completely silent, but here you can feel all the inconvenience of touch controls, especially for those who are already used to keeping their hand on the pointer all the time. In addition, there are various variations of silent keyboards or sets of a similar type, but with them the problem is much easier to solve than with a mouse, due to the greater convenience of the device design. Such mice and keyboards are found on the shelves of computer stores.
