Has anyone noticed that the mouse button on this laptop is too loud and hard to press. Is there any way to avoid this loud clicking noise.

Yes, I noticed that too - it's annoying! You can just lightly tap on the trackpad/touchpad to "click" on things and avoid using the noisy button, at least when left-clicking on things (which is what we're usually doing anyway), but when right-clicking you still need to use the button.

The clicking sound is loud. If you play a game on your computer the clicking sound begins to annoy you, especially if you have you have your computer volume low.

Mine does not make any clicking noise. That definitely sounds like a defect to me.

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

No, the button's make a clicking noise and swipe pad in the middle makes noise sometimes. The clicking isn't to bad but the swipe is really loud sometimes. It is hard to explain what the swipe pad sounds like. I have had some trouble lately with the mouse working with window's eight. I hope the new up date for window's helps that.

How long have you had the mouse? If you recently purchased it -- especially if from Amazon -- I would return it and ask for a replacement. It sounds like you're either having a problem with the actual mouse or with the driver.Just out of curiosity, what Windows operating system are you using it with?

I held the mouse right up to my ear and I could not hear any noise although you can "feel" the click. I really like the this mouse. I have a small hand but it really fits my hand well. I have a cordless keyboard and mouse for my desktop ( I use this mouse for my laptop) and I like this mouse much better than my logitech.

I would put it on the quieter side. I keep trying to find a current gen replacement for this mouse - my favorite mouse of all time, and one of the problems with current gen mice from Microsoft is that they have a much louder click and the buttons require more force to click.

Not too bad, still very quite but probably the loudest part of the mouse compared to the button clicks... but still very quiet. It's hard to quantify "loudness" for you but hopefully this context will help. I play video games late a night when my wife sleeps (the only time I can) and she used to always yell at me for the mouse being so load as she was a light sleeper. I bought and use this mouse now (which requires scroll wheel use too) for months and she sleeps through the night without waking up... so it passes the "angry wife" test for me. I hope this helps.

Yes it will make clicking sound. I had a MS Arc Touch mouse and it might be a bit softer. I too was looking for for a "quiet" mouse. I choose this because the touch scroll will not make any noise at all. Hopefully this helps. I also suggest you go to Staples or Bestbuy to check it out first. Good luck.

On my mouse that I recieved, the right click is noticeably louder than the left click

It isn't completely silent but it clicks easily so it isn't loud per say. I'd say about average. Less noise than clicking on a laptop's buttons.

Mines super light and nice to type. There must be something wrong with yours. The mouse pad is ultra-sensitive, it takes getting some time use to it, just make sure you don't rest your palms on it while typing. I made the mistake when first installing to just type A instead of Abraham, so now I get something like C:/A/Documents, because I accidentally press the mouse pad. Also do you get a small spin followed by a click around the mouse pad? I'm not sure if it's the dvd drive or the SD slot. Even though there's no memory card or cd inserted I hear a small spin then a click. It's not very loud but I was wondering if this is normal.

Be careful - mine started making clicking sounds at the same location one night and promptly crashed an hour later, so I'm guessing it was the hard drive. I managed to reboot and reinstall using the "ghost" behind the preinstalled partition, and it functioned just fine for the next couple months until today, when I started hearing squeaky noises from the same area. I promptly shut it down and haven't opened it back up yet, but a quick search of the Asus forums also suggests hard drive issues. I've had this netbook for about 15 months, so I'm a little disappointed but not surprised I'm running into problems. You should definitely back up all your files (good practice in general anyway)!

The buttons don't seem to 'click' any more or less than other mouses I have laying around. They do seem to have a deeper pitch, though. So, I guess that could be perceived as less loud.

Yes, there is a noticeable clicking sound when you press either of the buttons. But not knowing what you have right now, I can't say whether it is more or less distracting.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about the clicker. The newest model (came out about 3-6 mths ago) has no sound at all with the clicker off. The older version does have a soft clicking sound even with the clicker off. Just trying to find out which one these are before buying. Thanks.
