I know this is slashdot, but...

When you dream about cordless optical rechargable mice, you really need to go down to the pub and meet some girls!

Why all the excitement?

"You can't imagine how good I feel right now."

Why, does it vibrate as well?

I like mice too, but.....

From the article:

"the fact that it was cordless and had a built-in optical sensor deeply attracted me. I immediately decided to buy it and that may have been the biggest mistake I had ever made. "

I can relate. Yes, I too understand being deeply attracted, and later realizing it was a huge mistake. My biggest ever mistakes, didn't usually involve mice, but maybe I get out more..

it took me a lot of practice to get used to the trackball. Believe it or not, learning how to use the TrackMan FX is actually harder than learning to drive a car.

You actually have to leave the house to drive a car..

It does sound cool though, and one nice detail which would have been nice to include in the article would have been the price.

Re:Clueless?

A clueless mouse?

Is there any other kind?

Anyway, reading the article, which starts out 'I guess you may call me a "mouse freak", and I suppose that I am one indeed' and continues through such moisty-gushy phrases as 'I still wasn't satisfied' 'My "mouse dream" has been finally fulfilled' and 'You can't imagine how good I feel right now' - it's hard NOT to draw the obvious conclusion. It looks like the gerbils now have competition, as a new breed of rodent fetishist comes out of the closet.

Chained cordless mouse

I welded a chain to my cordless mouse, so I can find it back between the mess on my desk. I was wondering whether Logitech or Microsoft would want to pay me royalties for this invention.

Great idea.

Pity that it's the other hand that is furiously generating kinteic energy in the typical Internet user.

With optical mice, you don't need a trackball ... just turn it upside down and rub it back and forth on the underside with your thumb.

Curses!

I was perusing your entry when my mind perceived the magic phrase "MS Wireless Optical Blue". "Sweet Sparc above!" I intoned. "Someone's made a mouse with a blue diode!" So off I sprint to Microsoft's website to get all the juicy details, and I find that it is a blue coloured mouse... ... with a red diode.

I feel so let down.
