I had to clean the rollers for the ball today. Brought back lots of memories of working late on homework and having to stop, get a mechanical pencil, and spend about 30 minutes cleaning it.
I don't even remember not having one anymore but just thinking about it makes me cringe.
yep, razer is now copying mad catz horrible rat series. Gotta say thougt nice job razer, looks even better than the horrid rat.

And I've got a Lenovo one the same as the IBM one above for occasional raspberry pi use
EDIT: How odd, those pics are the right way up on my mac

I have gone through the full cycle of forgetting how it is not having one to forgetting what it is like to have one, since I just use the magic mouse or, more likely, a trackpad.
Beautiful though that '98 Microsoft is, I couldn't quite go back now since at least these new things acknowledges that there ever was such a thing as a scroll wheel, even if there is only a simulacrum of it now.
Perhaps the Razer Orochi
That is the mouse I was thinking about actually! Great minds think alike!
Whoa, I haven't seen one of these since like 2002! I could never get the hang of using one when I was a kid.
Why did you get 'tired of buying' them? They're well built and work well - and Microsoft have the best replacement policy and service I've ever experienced if you do manage to break one!
I use a (two) Logitech mx518, same as post #2 - I haven't used a mouse with more accurate tracking (when not in OSX of course
), I don't think they could be improved!
In order of most used:
Trackpad (98%)
Mighty mouse
Apple Pro
I hate the form factor of the Magic mouse.

I must of just been very unlucky with them then (I went through 3 of them in about a 6 month span). I can't remember the exact model (like I said it was a long time ago) and I didn't know they had such a good warranty, but still, just because it has a 'good' warranty doesn't mean I should have to use it multiple times, ya know? They were cheaper mice though, so like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for!
"You get what you pay for" is a stupid saying. Maybe it used to be more applicable (I wasn't alive 100 years ago), but it's wrong on so many levels in our modern world
Everything should last a reasonable amount of time, isn't that what you thought after the first one broke? Microsoft have a lifetime warranty on most (all?) or their keyboards and mice etc. Maybe you had a duff model, maybe you had a string of bad luck, maybe you have a secret arch enemy that snuck into your property and broke them - Got the serial number? A 3 minute call (literally) and they would have sent you another one the next day in the post.
