ako ive been using optical mouse since anu ba 1998 ata...para sa akin mas ok talaga siya kasi wala ka nang lilinisin, pang surf, paperworks etc.. tsaka un nga mas sensitive, un mga bagong optical mouse naman d na kelangan nung mousepad na may parang crisscross na lines eh..
although ang drawback nito eh mahirap sya gamitin sa mga games tulad ng counterstrike, half-life and basta yung mga ganung games.. kasi masyadong malikot
hmmmm.....pano kung napundi? I think its one of the disadvantages of an optical mouse. I like to buy one. Ayoko ng ball kasi pagnadumihan, nagkakaroon ng traction.
an optical mouse is waaaaaay superior to a trackball mouse. no rollers that get clogged with dirt, and today's optical mice have very accurate sensors with very high refresh rates. there's just no reason to go with trackballs anymore (even for hardcore gamers who used to swear by special trackball mice).
modern optical mice can be used on almost any surface (although transparent glass tends to confuse them i think), and with no moving parts, they are very durable and would last many years (the LED lasts a very long time).
my silver Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer has been serving me faithfully since 2000 up to now... hehe
i've been using Logitech Trackman Marble/Wheel since it was introduced. Its a thumb operated trackball without rollers. it uses an optical sensor. so kahit sobrang dumi na ng bola, very accurate pa rin. i'm now using Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel:
Beware of this brand: AU tech... both my laptop and desktop cannot identify the mouse
in some occasions... the system identify it as an unknown USB device... not sure kung ano talaga problema...pero usually after a few days na di ko na ginagamit....then pagka-try
oks na uli...until..dumating na naman sa point
na maging unknown device na uli sya...
Removing and re-installing the driver cannot even resolve my problem.

tunog palang ng mouse mo mukhang mahal nyan ah mbt
Optical mouse in the current form/tech is better than traditional mechanical mouse. I think the only negative as of right now is the price. I normally use logitech, this is my 3rd logitech in my lifetime. My past logitechs did not breakdown, I either sold them or gave them.
My brother in law has a MX700, its pretty good. Just expensive, so I just bought a normal logitech optical mouse. Hindi na rin kasi ako gamer these days, sayang kung bimili ako ng MX700.
just avoid a4tech brand, ang dali masira last year tatlong mouse ang bumigay.. i tried their optical mouse..it was fine..when it worked!..ayun nagweird may utak ng sarili.. hay i gave up on that brand (maski yung normal nilang mouse madali din masira, sa office sira din kaagad).. now im just using a normal Genius mouse.. alang problema...konting linis linis lang ng roller ehehe
actually im using a4 tech mouse na optical..walang problem un nabili ko..nagagandahan pa nga ako eh hehehe i dunno, ang ayaw ko lang naman na brand ng mouse eh yung genius hehe
for me, there is no comparison - optical is the best by far in all aspects. even though it costs a little more, i would argue that it's a wash because it will last you longer (my old ball mice eventually would stop working because of the dirt - that may be my fault though)
the only con of optical is that it can blind you if you look into the red beam :D

sanayan lang. ang maganda sa trackball, naka fixed lang sya sa table, pwede mo rin ilagay lap mo kung medyo tamad ka na tapos naka sit back ka sa reclining chair
Ngayon lang ako nakapag-optical sa office. Sa bahay puro mouse or trackball na ordinary.
So far, ok naman. Eto yung stock ng IBM. (Stock? Ano yan? Kotse? ) Pareho lang naman ang operation, although tama sila, hindi na kailangang maglinis ng ball eventually.
Ang worry ko lang dito, baka naman the buttons are just as good as the regular mouse buttons. Kasi sa akin nauunang masira yung button kesa yung roller. Masyado yata akong malakas pumindot. Hehehe.
mas accurate ung optical mouse, plus it's supposed to last longer than mechanical mice since it has fewer moving parts.
i guess for ordinary use di mo mapapansin ung accuracy nya...pero pagdating cguro sa games or CAD/CAM or desktop publishing stuff, dun mo sya maappreciate
