I gave up on Bluetooth and other wireless mouses because no matter the settings they all seem to fall asleep after a while.
I bought a couple of Logitech B100 and the scroll wheel only works on
one of them, this morning the pointer started jumping all over the
screen but it has settled down now.
I would like a wired mouse where the cable come out of it tail not its
head but Google is not being my friend. Has anybody cone across such a
beast or a mouse that could be modified please?

Many thank, SH, hadn't really though that one through - I'm more
concerned about knocking my cup of tea off the coffee table with the
mouse cable :-)

This never happens to me, with bt or rf mice. Or rather, they wake up in
an imperceptible amount of time when I move them. Are you using £5 mice?
Go for a nice one, your desk and arm will appreciate it.
(Various Logitech MX and G-series in use here, plus the Apple ones, no >issues)

I usually go for Microsoft KTF-00002 Modern Bluetooth Mouse which is about £22. Left mouse button usually dies a few days after the guarantee!
Is that cheap? I may be well out of date on prices.

Logitech M185, about £10. So good (for me, mouse-ambidextrous) I bought a >spare about 10 years ago. Never needed it.
And Magic Trackpad for the Mac; good but pricey.
