Apple mouses

[aafuss1]

I was wondering why Apple doesn't introduce a revised version of their optical mice featuring a laser based optical sensor (eg. based on a Agilent S2020 sensor), so it would be more precise? This sensor is used in Logitech's MX1000.

Be patient. They probably will some day, but right now the Logitech MX1000 is the only mouse on the market using a laser sensor, as far as I know. Besides, regularly optical mice work just fine, and I'm sure they're cheaper to manufacture.

The laser mouse is just a gimmick. I have used both
laser and optical and I see very little difference to
justify the extra cost.

I thought optical was laser. What's the difference between the two?

Laser uses a laser. A standard optical mouse uses an LED.

Apple should at least start using an 800 dpi sensor. I think the current Apple mouse still uses the same, outdated 350 dpi sensor that was really cool five years ago. An Apple Mouse with the sensor from a Logitech MX510 would be pretty sweet.
