Got your attention? I want to start using a mouse. Anyone else use one? I want a shelf/platform that can house a mini mouse and be easy to pull off of my laptop pop up shelf. Any suggestions?

 , Lonnie, every list has a best, worst and all the in betweens. That's the worst advise you've ever given me! I'm more interested in what people use as a shelf to hold the mouse.

How about a rack mountable keyboard drawer?
SKB has the laptop tray for mounting on top of a slant top mixer, but would be nice to have a mouse pad attachment as well.

Only when the battery dies. It's just one of those cheap laser mouse. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

Is it a full sized mixer?
I have the exact same case and pop up. My mixer (Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects) has a smaller foot print so I modified the mounting brackets to give me a platform to the right of the mixer. It works great for me.

Out of curiosity, why is it you want a mouse? Not feeling the trackpad control on your laptop?
When I first implemented a PC in my mobile rig.. 10 years ago.. I had to use a rack mounted PC because a laptop with enough ummph to run the TriceraSoft player was cost prohibitive for me at the time, and I already had plenty of desktop parts laying around.
Anyway.. I found a mouse to be a huge PITA, but a TRACKBALL worked great, and didn't require nearly as much real estate as a mouse and no mousepad or a smooth surface required.
I eventually picked up a rack mount, slide out keyboard that had an integrated trackball.. but if you've not ever tried a trackball, you may want to go to one of the office supply stores and check one out in their mouse display isle.

This does kinda remind me of the guy that asked for reviews on tables. Not racks, TABLES. I suggested the four-legged model  As for mice, I highly discourage the four-legged model

I second the motion for a trackball. It's all I've used since first getting one years ago. I prefer the one with the ball on top to be moved by fingertips, not the one with the ball on the side for your thumb.
It takes a little getting used to at first, but it will grow on you. And you don't need much space, because it doesn't move.

Definitely not for all. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

Yeah, it's all about personal preference.. and even among the trackball crowd there is dissension.. I, for instance, like the trackball that is positioned for use with a thumb.. while others prefer the finger method.
I personally don't mind my Dell laptops trackpad at all.. but several of the other local KJ's and DJ's prefer to use an external mouse.
I just can't use those 'mini mice'.. my hands are just too big I guess.. and a full size mouse needs room to roam.. which means more desk space, or a shelf.

Just remember, whether it's trackball or mouse, keep the balls clean.
--------------------------------
Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.
It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items.
To re-order, specify one of the following:
P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls
