Poll: Optical or trackball?

[Wedesdo]

acutally, if you think about it, even balled mice are optical

the mice ball turns a little wheel that continously blocks and unblocks light, allowing the light detector to sense motion

I also have not upgraded. My logitech 4-button mouse is still chugging along. Still the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.

Definitely optical. I got so sick and tired of those ball mice clogging up and getting stuck.

I have a Logitech Marble Mouse trackball...
I dunno if its optical, but I know it's not mechanical.

For everyday use: optical - Intellimouse Explorer

For gaming: Intellimouse and a Everglide pad

I use a Logitech Optical, but I would trade it for the ball mouse my father has. It's made by some off-brand company, don't recall which. It as the perfect weight and button and quietness.

Are you guys trying to convince me that it's time to upgrade?

anyway, to answer your question: I have no experience on a optical mouse yet.

Logitech iFeel Optical.

Why don't manufacturers use rechargeable batteries in their cordless mice instead of standard AA/AAA cells? They could include a cradle to recharge the mouse. Makes more sense to me.

 

[yakko]

Logitech trackball which is optical.

MS intellimouse, I've foudnt hat optical mice suck for fps gaming. Whenever I snap my wrist for a shot with the railgun in q2 or snap for a sniper shot in CS the optical hasn't tracked rightr.

 

[Electricice]

NO Balls on my mice

 

[Biggs]

I'm never comfortable with trackballs so I say go optical.

 

[hans007]

[isekii]

<< good ol' microsoft intellimouse >>



Ditto.. nothing beats it..

Optical has a tendency to go all over the place if you move it to fast...

 

[HansXP]

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical right here.

 

[Colt45]

[Soulchaser]

[dshaun]

MS Trackball Optical.

I get to be weird too!

logitech mouseman optical blue from jgs300z My favorite mouse of all time.

Logitech Trackman FX. Best peripheral out there. I love it because it ups my frag count by 50%, it's great on the wrist, and none of my friends can use it.
