On a slight derail - after all the talk of 4chan here, I decided to check it out. I HAVE SEEN THINGS THERE THAT I CAN'T ERASE FROM MY BRAIN, YOU FUCKS!

Oh, and I've been using the same Optical Intellimouse Explorer (5 button jobby) for at least 4 years, and it's still going strong.

3.  I still bought another Razer (the one w/ blue light, which is pretty shiney/cool) but honestly I need a good mouse pad.  Anyone have any super geeky/gamer/l33t recommendations?  I've checked OCP from time to time and they always go on about Ratz or mouse pads made of glass or somesuch shit.

I've had both version of the RatzPad, don't buy it, it'll wear out on you real quick.  Schild's mousepad is okay in my opinion, but Agnarth's mousepad was the motherf#*&ing hotness.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself one of those glas IceMat mousepad thingies, linkie.

I've been using XTracPads for six years or so and am a fan of them (well as much as you can be of a mouse surface...). They make some really massive-o or thin ones, but the Pro and Pro HS are their standard size/thickness models.

I've been using the TWL-branded Pro HS for about five years with a variety of optical mice and am just now looking at getting it replaced.

I'm exclusively a trackball guy now...

...but yeah, Logitech all the way.

I like trackballs, but my problem with 'em is the same as the old ball mice; gunk.  Maybe it's just because my hands sweat like a whore in church, but my old trackball would gather crap that needed cleaning out at least on a weekly basis.  I don't see how you could rectify this problem just by the very nature of the trackball.

Haha.   Because I'm a bastard my curiosity wants to know which board you looked at so I can imagine how bad you wish you could put soap inside your skull.

I find /s/ to be rather hit and miss.  That said, I agree.

Both of my Microsoft optical mice still work like a charm, and the only reason I stopped using my Apple Mighty Mouse is because the scroll ball got gunked up.  I loved that suppository of doom too.  Wee little scroll ball was the best thing ever.  Maybe if the rumors are true, next week's Mac thing will have an improved mouse too.  I want to go back to the scroll ball.  It is love.
As long as you don't need a middle mouse button and then it sucks.


It had a middle button.  Press left?  Press right?  Press ball? Press in both sides?

FOUR BUTTONS.

The problem is is that it's too twitchy cause it's so small and "loose" (not stiff like an IBM trackpoint) so pressing down anywhere near it to activate the middle button will make the page scroll as well. Horrid design.
