    Wired vs. wireless is whatever works for you, but no one misses balled mice. No one.

      Whoops! Big mistake buddy, you said something on the internet. Now we’re gonna fight! I miss balled mice. How ‘bout them apples? Nothing is as satisfying as cleaning the lint out of those things was

        I will concede only in the fact that it made me look like a miracle worker to my parents when I “fixed” their mouse that had stopped working with my magic.

        On the other hand, the Christmas I gave them an LED mouse was peak level for all of us.

          Now days sure, but I’d take one of later really good ball mice over many of the shitty cheap mice you get packed in with stuff now. The first few optical mice that I owned were legit worse than ball mice, while being much more expensive. I kept going back to the ball mice and regretting my wasteful purchases. The first one good enough to really kill them off was probably the MS InteliMouse 3.0.
