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)

My 2c

i use the track ball mouse (the one with the big red ball on top ) ive had it for 9 years il never go back to a normal ball /lazer mouse again hell ive even gone out and bought a spare one for when this one dies

Edited by japwpn
Hahahaha I still use an original microsoft mouse....has the ball and no scroll wheel :P

Might as well dust off the chisel and go back to writing on rock tablets its such old tech :D

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
