Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now, evidently, my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done.

There is no other mouse besides ball, laser and optical.

... is there?

that is probably for touch pads and other non-mouse type pointing devices

The poll says what kind of mouse do you use, though; I understand what the OP is trying to say, but the "Other" choice doesn't apply because there is no other type of mouse. Once you talk about touch pads, you're not talking about mice. You're talking about touch pads.

But that's just semantics.

I didn't even think of that when I posted, but I figured having an other option would quiet the "where's the _____ option?" posts.

"Where's the _____ option?" post to follow in 5..

mx1000 owns you all. :D

Got it free since my mx700 broke and with a 3 year warrenty they sent me the mx1000 since they no longer making mx700.

Didn't even have to send it in so if you ever need a new mouse and have a mx700 or such... :evil:

Logitech support pwns.
