Maybe, but that attraction to the right-hand corner??? :eek: Scary...and I stand a mile away from it.

Probably broken then. My dad's old laptop does that occasionally, and it gets annoying :monster:

I find them very good, in fact. My one did what yours does until I got a better mouse mat. Try that if you have a cheap one :love:

I have an optical mouse, it's a ton better than the one with little balls cos' the balls gather lint and then it's like o___<

Logitech... Works like a charm...

ive got a cheap mercury one and it works great cet for the odd times cat hair gets on the lens then it acts up :)

My wireless optical mini-mouse is wonderful. :D

Oh man, I shudder at the thought of going back to a regular mouse. I got an optical mouse last christmas and it is great. And it's a microsoft mouse too. I've had absolutely no problems with it.

I've had a optical mouse for 5+ years id say.

How can anyone like a track ball or a standard ball mouse better?

these read so much better, so much smoother, look so much cooler, and proform all around 10x better.

Usually if my old optical mouse acted wierd, it usually just meant that there was something under the sensor (like random fuzz or a hair.) But now I have the new Logitech wireless laser mouse...now that's a mouse.

Optical is awesome. Ball is ancient technology.

I have an optical mouse, it's going a bit cruddy though cos it keeps jumping :(

What happened to the world of normal mice?? :rolleyes2

I have a big weiner.

Does that count?

lol, not anymore :D
