well i've had the logitech optical for almost a year now and love it as much as the day i install it. No more friction from that mouseball! :D

The Screensavers on TechTV tested the two head on - with a few other optical designs and ps2 mice.

The dual logitech edged out the MS explorer in responsitivity.


Plus the logitech ''feels'' stronger/more durable

I vote for Logitech!

Not to mention that little hassle of cleaning the rollers inside the mouse!!!

I'm using the Logitech Dual Optical mouse and it's a great little rodent. Don't use the Ratpadz though. It doesn't like the surface texture, color or reflectivity level or something. Try the fUnc pad, if anyone has it in stock.

The Logitech is very reliable accurate and fast .. no "back and forth pointer and stuff"..

The Logitech Cordless/Optical combo is a good option if you have the bux to blow.

If not I'd go with Logitech Optical 2x...

well if ur using an optical mouse on some reflective surface, sometimes your mouse will have some strange jumping as the lasers reflecting off the surface at the wrong angle. So just put it on a dull surface or a nice mousepad. :D

Logitech Trackman Marble Scroll. Microsoft have ripped off the same shape with extra buttons but unless you have very tiny hands they get extremely tedious to use.
