How is it, samb0nium?

I'm gonna be needing a new mouse here in a couple months cause every time I smash my current Wheelmouse Optical against the mouse pad to get the optical sensor to quit going nuts, it probably takes a few months off its life span

using it thru a kvm and loving it so far. Havent tried gamming yet but its pretty responsive.

I think Q has been using that mouse minus the thumbwheel.

I got one too, for a few months now, and I love it!
It's the 4th mouse I've bought, and still the best.

I played a little red faction with it and its great, i figured id get wiped but i kept right up with them...

That's pretty impressive, especially for a wireless. How long do you think the batteries will last?

 

[Shadowfax]

About 1 month....2 duracell batteries that is

My dual optical is nice too.

I think Q has been using that mouse minus the thumbwheel.

I have a thumbwheel. I would never consider purchacing a mouse that didn't turbo scroll. Life's too short to be wasting it on some peoples mindless drivel.

My batteries last alot longer than a month. I get those new kinda duracells, M3's.

My Cordless MouseMan Optical goes through a pair of batteries in 3-4 weeks or so, sometimes up to 5. Only thing with it is that it's a little heavier than most mice, which can be a pain when I'm working on a picture and need to move just one pixel.

 

[Neo]

i have noticed that. But i figured i'd get used to it.

Optical mouse under Linux...works great.
