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]

i just got a laptop, right now i have an optical , but i'm debating getting a trackman marble wheel

 

[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]

trakman marble wheel....

 

[Soulchaser]

I have a cowardly mouse with no balls. :disgust:

 

[dshaun]

MS Trackball Optical.

I get to be weird too! 😀

 

[Blundar]

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

 

[amnesiac]

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. 😛
