Purchasing USB Mice that are best value and child proof

[timbo343]

I wish child proof mice were a thing and the last lot we bought from Hills Components seem to have with stood the students however Hills are no more so my question to the masses is, have you bought any child proof mice in the last few months?

 

When i say "child proof" i refering to the inability for students to pull the buttons up and away from the body of the mice as the majority of mice have buttons that over hang the edge of the body of the mouse. The ones we bought from Hills were this mouse: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgSxEDhXkAAJR1i.jpg

 

As you can see the buttons didn't over hang the edge of the mouse.

Ahh cheers - i knew they had bought Hills stock regarding the headphones but weren't sure about the mice.

Interesting ...

 

We've had very similar ones and they've still managed to break them.

 

I don't think there's a vandal-proof mouse. I've had kids do everything including pull the rubber off the scroll wheel.

If you're getting through a LOT of mice, I guess something from here might work: https://www.keyboardspecialists.co.uk/collections/accessorieskiosks

Bought these in the end https://www.viking-direct.co.uk/en/ativa-optical-3-button-ergonomic-corded-desktop-mouse-p-2135963

 

Seem good quality and the buttons cannot be pulled off easily unless you try to get nails under the buttons.

 

Didn't go with the crusader ones as we have had reports that the buttons are an effort to push down.
