Who Still Uses A Mouse With A Ball In It?

[Swiper the Fox]

Is that odd?

[Simmo1985]

Wait.. you do it on purpose? Hehe.. YES. YES IT IS.

Depends what you use your computer for, but I'd upgrade.. cant stand old ball mice..

I recently crossed over the the bright red side.

It's nice.

Ball mouse for me

Used my duel optical since around 2002 ish. Cost over $100.00 best investment made.

Time to upgrade to duel laser.

First person is so much better, how ever they dont work on everything (some table tops ect)

Mines an IBM original...had to drop the ball out of it and clean the rollers in it last night

i use 1 ball mouse and 1 optical, only because i couldn't find a ball mouse to buy. i prefer them simply because they work on every surface.

"So_Tred" does lmao

No ball here, or cable either. Mainly because my pc is also connected to an lcd tv. Pick up keyboard and mouse and move them without tangling yourself up in wires.

I've been using a wacom graphire at home since 2002 which I scored when I upgraded to a Intuos at work. so my pc's totally miceless.

edit: actually i tell a fib, sometimes some apps don't support it, which is when the MS optical mouse comes out of the drawer.

i got an intuos 3 at home, used to do a lot of flash animation, now i use it mostly in photoshop for painting crap

[skybarge]

I use a laser mouse, i'm part nerd due to my job

Nah, seriously though, if you want a mouse that works on every surface, is extremely reliable and uses one set of batteries every 6 months try a laser,

I've got a laser desktop, wireless keyboard and mouse set, only cost just over $100

There is no cool red light like an optical, but when you have an optical running on batteries and change them once a week or so, it gets pretty annoying

[funkymonkey]

cordless FTL. latency, weight from batteries, lower resolution and constantly having to recharge all makes them blow goats, and the only decent cordless ones that solve these issues are like over $100 for the mouse alone. I can deal with a wire attached to my PC.

[thrtytwo]

yeh mines wired and laser, 2400 dpi if i remember correctly so has plenty of resolution, dont need to bump up the OS respose and loose your accuracy. not a fan of wireless ones unless they have a dock instead of batteries

[mid life crisis]

you can get a mouse with out balls how the hell will they breed?

always wondered with the price of cast polymer batteries in mobile phones why they couldn't make a cheap rechargeable mouse that's light and has no need for AAA batteries.
