Recently, my Microsoft mouse died on me, so I decided to put it off duty. Its replacement was a Labtec laser mouse. It had left and right click, a mousewheel, and two really fucking annoying side buttons, both colored an evil red.
I keep on accidentally clicking them, it takes me back or forward a page, it's really, really annoying. Then, I saw on the 'Getting Started Guide' what appeared to be something that would help me out. "To enable the side-to-side scrolling feature of the mouse or to change button programming, install the mouse software." This began a stream of really fucking annoying problems. Upon restarting my computer, the floodgates of 'FUCKING HELL WHY THE FUCK' opened. I discovered that I could not disable the side buttons. Then after changing the button actions to something less annoying, my computer spontaneously restarted against my discretion moments after I changed them. My computer rebooted finely, alright, but suddenly, POOF. It goes an hero on me before my desktop fucking loads. Worse, after that, my mouse didn't even work. It was unresponsive, an electronic vegetable. I had to restart my computer several times to figure it out. I had to jumpstart the damn critter with several restarts. I was infuriated with the software, so I deleted it. This lead to the final straw. My mouse halted function. I restarted, it worked, but FUCKING BLOODY HELL, it had to spontaneously restart on my ass again. After settling on plugging the fucking bloody useless piece of Labtec feces into a USB outlet, here I am, ranting my ass off about the shitty electronic device we've come to depend on in our life. And laptop pad users, you can go fuck yourselves. ____________________ RAEG |

Laptop touchpads are inferior to real mice anyways 
I use a Logitech G5. I've had a couple problems with ti (had to take one back because the cable went bad), but overall it's a decent, solid mouse. If only they'd used a better cable wrap :/ |

Things get worse...The plague that curses my computer and mouse now attaches to my SCREEN MONITOR. The red coloration was sucked out of my monitor, everything only contained green and blue.
Red icons turned gray, icons looked bleak. And suddenly, pop, red comes back for no apparent reason. I don't think my computer will survive for much longer before a much more tragic event occurs. ____________________ RAEG |

Well, it seems the problem wasn't actually with the mouse, but with the computer itself. ____________________ |

If you note carefully, the problems started when I downloaded the software.
So it's not the hardware (mouse) causing the problems, most obviously. ____________________ RAEG |

Mouse software wouldn't screw up the monitor's ability to show red color... ____________________ |
