Me also... that's more or less the time it takes the ball to be plenty of fluff and to be uncomfortable enough to use. One can live with some dust on it... until you can't move it O:-P >> But as I said on my previous post to Ron, I can >> live >> with them.

The old model is slightly curved on the top while the modern one is straight: MS Basic Optical Mouse (laser) http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/SkuImages/gallery/large/M17-1733-d1.jpg MS IntelliMouse (ball) http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/SkuImages/gallery/large/M17-1716-f.jpg Anyway, what's the minimum desirable dpi for these devices? I've seen numbers from 300ppp up to 2.000ppp and more... besides, is there any noticeable difference between one tagged as "optical" and other tagged as "optical/laser"?
