Ball Mouse and Optical Mouse for gaming

[Luie]

Correct me if I'm wrong:

Optical Mouse is more precise.
Ball Mouse is smoother.

[stompah]

my optical is smooth. The optical may be smoother cause it has less weight.

Get an optical mouse and something like a RatPadz mousing surface and it gets slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Just got a logitech optical cordless and it's really excellent.

Can install software from across the room. ahah

It's smooth and reacts well in RTCW.

I think the newer models are much better than the old ones for refreshing.

I am planning to get a cordless optical mouse.

How long does the battery in the mouse last, thefly or anyone who have a cordless optical mouse?

And what brand of cordless optical mouse performs very smoothly even in fps games?

[Smizack]

Optical is the best. There is no comparison. My stupid ball mouse sticks all the time...

So I'll start a new tread.
thanks for your replies.
it helped me with my decision of getting an optical or ball.
