I suppose it depends on what programs you intend to use it for. It should work well for most any application with one notable exception. Any game that requires lightning mouse reflexes (I refer mainly, but not exclusively, to 1st person shooters) is unplayable with anything more (less?) than a good ol' fashioned mouse. Optical and track balls just don't cut it.
That said, you could always keep that sodding grime collecter tucked away for those special homicidal holidays. Unless, of course, you're not a quaker, in which case you could say farewell to your old mouse and lovingly carress your new digital input and use it to create pretty flowers and love hearts and fairies (yeah! lots of those!) all over your screen and live happily ever-
Erm..
Time for my holiday.

Actually, that is why I bought the DUAL optical Logitech mouseman--it doubles the resolution to like 900. It' works lightning fast in any FPS.[/QUOTE]Is this due to your playing style? I have tried a trackball and optical (not dual though) and found that i had developed certain quirks with the old fashioned mouse that made playing FPS much quicker. Little tricks like the lift and flick can not be duplicated by the optical and is awkward to try with the trackball. Given time, i suppose it's possible to relearn your style but (if you're stubborn like me) you generally don't want to spend frustrating hours developing techniques that you've already mastered.
That said, There are many other types of games that i enjoy which could quite easily be played with optical or track. This would greatly reduce time spent on mouse maintenance (can only be good [img]smile.gif[/img] ) Tell me, Z. What advantages does the dual optical have over the single?
