Laser. I've found a lot of ball mouses I've used in my life to screw up after a certain period of time. Laser mouses for me "feel" like they last-longer.

Besides, laser mouses look sexier.

Laser.. I can't stand ball mice, they feel too clunky.

Thanks guys! Tha thing I dislike about my laser is when you accidently pic it up or it slides off your pad while playing, you totally lose your direction and end up facing backward looking up at the sky and getting shot or falling off a building.

I prefer Laser because sometimes the balls get stuck in the ball mice and you have to lift them up.

my ball mouse is as smooth as a mouse could be, it really helped out when gaming. but when it gets all dirty inside, it starts sticking and that pisses me off. I dont have a laser mouse but if it had enough dpi it would be better

seat back away from the computer area

key broad is infront & have the mouse to your right and not infront of you to the right.

its like opening the right door inside your car. the mouse should be and not going for the desh broad infront of the driver seat to get the mouse.

Ps i love my Optical mouse a plus it seal up no hair or dirt get inside it at all

My is: Microsoft optical Mouse 3000

the
*mouse wheel tilts to side to side to scroll ether right or left.
*zoom in option too on the left side of the mouse one can zoom in to read fine print on the screen.

has all the other normal mouse action as will.

only bug i get some times once in a blue moon the mouse go dead, i unplug (USB cable) it from the tower and plug it back in working 100% again.

laser or Optical mouse are really great, special if they are really seal up tight were animal (Cats), people hair or dust can't get inside it.

The problem with optical is sometimes the desk color jacks up the lazer and your pointer shoots accross the screen. It used to happen all the time on my old desk. Pissed me off!
