Okay, this is a question coming from a dumb wrench turner, but, um...

What is it? What's so special about it?

 

Bill got himself a cordless optical mouse. Best of both worlds. I used to use a cordless mouse, but it had the roller ball and had too many quirks. Now I have a corded optical mouse which is awesome but has a cord.

 

I got an optical mouse for my laptop, 'cause the touchpad sucks and the trackball meese I had would work okay for about a week and get jammed up with gunk.

Cordless now too, huh? Sweet.

 

Yep they are codless now too. But Bills is so yesterday, now they have Air Mouse.

Ball less, cordless and you don't even need a desk now either!

 

Pretty cool mouse Bill.

I have a track ball mouse that I love. I like not having to pick it up and move it around, it just sits in one spot and I move the curser with my thumb. Makes it kinda interesting when I use a regular mouse though, I forget to pick it up and bring it back. . .end up rolling it off the desk, weird stuff like that!!

 

and here's mine:

 

It is better than an "optical" mouse....it is actually a Laser mouse....thus is more accurate.....

 

When I move my cheap Logitec optical to the left, it goes left. When I move it right, it moves right. When I go up, it goes up. When I go down, it goes down. How much more accurate do you need?

 

Geez Matt....of all people I figured that at least you would understand.......

...do you really need me to go into the complexities of how light is refracted from a laster compared to "optical"?

 

No, I just think that they are getting a little carried away. But as long as they can market it as better then they will sell them.

I prefer laser over a flash light on my gun sites. But on a mouse as long as it's able to track the distance and direction that it has moved in general. Then that works for me.

It is a cool set up, much nicer than any of mine.

 

still wont work on a glass top so

 

.....yup....just tried it on one of my other monitors......

 

HUH... My optical works on my monitor too???





Edited to add:

EUREKA!
It's reflecting off the screen behind the glass!!!

 

Your monitor has glass? Geez, you're behind the times!
