Yep - optical mice rock. I've had one for quite a while now. I always hated having to clean the gunk off the rollers and the ball.

Me too, Adam. It makes a huge difference. I recently got my first wireless optical. I have a left handed brother, and it's so convenient to just move the mouse over to the left side of the keyboard.

Yup. I love my MX700. Optical mice rock. Although they still get a little gunk on the pads that you need to clean off every once in awhile.

MX700 is what I have myself, amazing mouse. It's wireless and optical, which used to be a big no no in gamming, but this mouse not only overcame the negatives, its downright one of teh best gamming mice you can get!

for $140, I expect it to move in response to my telepathic commands. 
(aka $140 for a mouse is waaaay too much)

Jeez! I thought I saw it for $80. Oh well, just wait for it to show up in my Amazon gold box, I guess...

Hi,
I left my optical mouse up at the Axiom plant last trip up--Amie found it--so I'm using this annoying touch pad thing on my laptop. Have you noticed optical mice don't work on some surfaces--polished desks, etc.? Mine becomes erratic on a varnished surface.
