I still see some disadvantages for laser or BlueTrack based mice:
1/ They do not work on crystal or clear surfaces
I can't remember the last time I put my mouse on a clear (glass?)
surface. But if I did, then I'd use a mousepad.
And what happens if you are on a conference room (or any other "hostile"
environment) with no mousepad at all? Only you, a pristine clear surface
and your hi-tech laser mouse ;-)
Then I use the trackpad on my laptop.
Disadvantages of ball mice:
1) The ball gets dirty and sticks. Yes, you can clean it, but laser
mice never get dirty.
Doesn't need to be re-calibrated? Never?
Eh? Recalibrate an optical mouse? Never heard of (or had to do) such a
thing.
2) The ball doesn't roll well on some surfaces. The laser works on
more surfaces.
I can live with a corded laser/bluetrack mouse but not with a wireless
one.
What's "bluetrack"? I agree with not wanting wireless, though.
