It happens way to often, I get tangled up in the cord of my mouse. With limited space shared by my key board and mouse that wire is often in the way. I find myself constently anoyed by that mouse wire slowing me down as I try and work on a project in Photoshop. Sometimes the work needs to be slow and precise to achieve a close to perfection as one can get. So there you are doing your thing when your mouse runs into its own tail and won't go further. You either need to back up or go over the wire and that is irritating. I must not be the only one with this irritations since there is a solution to this problem and it is a Cordless Mouse.
