    @paulrules: I'm guessing it's because the laser is directly under the thumb. Inthat sense, you are more likely to be able to relate to the absolyte positioning in the same way you do with a pen tip when writing.


    Not having tried it, however, it's hard to say if it would make much difference. When I need a pen, I use my tablet and stylus.

    @eagles3: Yeah, I'm not sure you could get me to part with $60 for a mouse, at least not unless it dispensed beer.

    @Shamoononon is tired: That's not much for a decent mouse, but I just don't know if that thing's any good. The Wacom tablet I got set me back nearly $500, so I figure $75 for a well built mouse isn't too bad. The ones under $30 are always junky for my needs.

    @BeautifulAgony: Ah, see, you do artsy stuff? I can't draw worth crap even on the computer.


    I use mine to switch in between xterms for the most part and sometimes gaming although I'm fine just using the touch pad.


    I haven't paid more than $25 for a mouse, EVER.

    @Shamoononon is tired: Yah, I do lots with Photoshop and some other nice programs. It's pretty important for me to get accurate and the stylus helps, and when I do use the mouse I want it to have some weight and be highly accurate.


    However, even when just browsing around, a well-shaped mouse with a nice responsive wheel and good drivers (ie acceleration control, wheel adjustment, etc) can make even a mundane experience a little nicer.


    As for trackpads, I absolutely hated them until I bought my Toshiba laptop. It's the only one I've used that is responsive, pressure sensitive, and has programmable gesture macros built into it. Still, I hook up a real mouse every chance I get, or my portable mini wacom.
