Also, I'm curious to how many games use optical mice and how well they've adapted to them.

AHHH, finally a mouse poll!!

here's my 2 cents: personally, i use a logitech first mouse with scroll (this is a ball mouse). from experience, playing quake, i think it's safe to say that OPTICAL MICE aren't as good as BALL MICE for gaming. the reason being, when you're racking up the frags, your mouse frequently goes off the pad. With a ball mouse, the ball will still have momentum, thus you keep moving. however, with an optical mouse, you stop completely. In quake this could mean the difference between killing or being killed.

The best ball mouse i have EVER seen for gaming would have to be the logitech mouseman with scroll. they stopped making it, but it conforms to your hand, and has a thumb button.

I use a Logitech Mouseman Wheel.

I like it, but I wish it was cordless, because the cable is always pulling it.

Are the cordless mice still as accurate as a USB or PS2 Mouse?

I use Microsoft USB Intellieye on my home and laptop systems, they work great. I have played many games with them and have had no problems.

IntelliMouse Optical. Dare I say it, I but like it much better than my Logitech Mouseman Wheel for gaming. :)
