I really want to know what makes a laser mouse better than an optical. I just got an Logitech laser mouse and it is so much better than my old optical mouse. i can't find much on optical vs laser but a whole lot on optical vs mechanical.

I use a laser mouse, and I like it. Only problem I found was that you have to have a mouse pad for a black desk, my mouse doesn't like it for some reason. I think it bounces off of the surface and screws up it's reading capability.

It's the same with regular optical mice.

You must use an optical mouse or a bad laser mouse, because laser mice work perfectly fine on black surfaces and even some types of glass. I just tried using my MX Revolution a variety of black surfaces (black painted wood shelf, black sheet of paper, side of my PC, base of my monitor) and it works perfectly.

You guys are making a huge deal over mice. Mine cost 11 bucks, and it's lasted me four years so far.

Oh, and it's awesome.

Logitech G5, cost me 10 bucks. If it didn't there was no way I would've got it.
