I just got done playing, and I noticed toward the end that I was getting worked. I had no explanation as to why I was not owning everyone. That is, until I opened up my mouse.

Filth and grime everywhere! My rollers were coated. Now I can sleep tonight.

So if you are playing against me, and you keep killing me, over and over and over again, remind me to clean my mouse.

This is especially true for anyone with <TVB> in front of their name...

I'll take my optical over any ball mouse any day. I don't have to have a stupid pad anymore, and I don't have to keep lifting up my mouse to keep from going off the stupid pad...

I would recommend getting a Logitech Dual Optical mouse. They are really great, hardly ever do they tweak on me.

Man, I thought the same way Omeaga, until I actually got one. In these dorms, the dust bunnies are HUGE. I mean, last year I was cleaning my mouse at least twice a day. Then, for X-Mas last year I got a Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse....So good. So precise and light. I love it. And, I too discarded my mouse pad, cuz it is like a dream on this laminated desktop.

So, Target, you should invest the 20 bucks in a nice Logitech. Don't bother with the MS optical 5 button craziness, just get the nice calm Logitech.

I've got a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. It cost about $25 and it's just the simple 2 buttons and a scroll wheel. No bells, no whistles, just a nice mousie mouse.

Logitech rules, I have a Logitech Wingman Interceptor joystick, it is amazing. 12 buttons, throttle, 3 pov's and a nice smooth comfortable grip.

Of course I don't play fps games with a joystick, I play tfc with a normal microsoft ball thingy mouse. I used to have a microsoft intellieye, or something like that, but it crapped out on me after 6 months, and apperently it wasn't covered by the warranty? Bastards.

Hey, my Microsoft Intellimouse from like 3 years ago is still working fine. With the old trackball and mouse wheel. I remember the days when they were $50, hahaha. :lol:

My inland optical is a knock off and costs 5.00 from frys.
it's probably made in the same manufacturing plant as the others, Just a renamed overrun.
With 5 computers in the house, we all have one and it didn't break us.

No fair Roof, you can shop at Frys. I have to make a special trip when I'm in Cali to even think about going there.

Heh, Fry's is about 2 miles from where I live. Not a good thing especially on lazy Sundays with nothing to do but "browse" the aisles.
