I use a optical logitech mouse on a func mouse pad. Of course it's great: it slides perfectly (accuracy + speed).
But there is something I really like in ball mice, it's the weight. Ball mice are much heavier than optical mouse and it gives me more control. I definititely think that most optical mice are too light.
I'll buy a mx500 soon, I hope it'll be heavy enough.

Many progamers chose classy mice, not those with the best technologies.

The only problems I have with mouses is the cord and how to place it so it causes minimal interference. I fucking hate mouse cords. Cordless isn't option as long they have the delay. The ball doesn't bother my control at all, as long the mouse is clean.

My MX700 has no lag at all, though it has a different system (Radio or something to communicate with the base). Plus, this everglide mouse pad is smoother than anything I have used before. And who ever was asking about a heavy mouse, my 700 is heavier than my dad's mx500. I still need a keyboard that respond's faster =\

Aukai, I want that mx700 with radio thing. Let's trade lives??? Or tell me how to get one

Edit: And when I say one I mean the system, I don't need a life.

All I know is this, for all it matters.

- BoxeR uses a wheel mouse.

- I think wheel mouses are lighter than optical mouses.

- Most Pros Supposedly use wheel mouses.

- I like my optical better than my wheel mouse

- I have no clue what mouse I use, but it was the cheapest Logitech optical mouse I could find (20 USD).

In my opinion, the ball of a ball mouse is just as heavy as most of the optical mice.
I heard that the mx700 is too heavy, you can get used to it, but it keeps being too heavy.

PS: shouldn't you say mice instead of mouses?

there's some odd looking thing u use to hold the cord of your mouse, I think it's called a mouse banshee or something like that, look it up
