Optical mouse or Ball mouse?  

I think optical mouse is better than ball mouse.

I prefer optical mouse over track ball mouse because of its sensitivity.Easy and convenient to use.I don't have to take it out and clean them.Easy maintenance.

obiously optical mouse . they r the best . i had many problems with the ball mouse , sometimes the ball didnt moved and it was so heavy and also gaming was so hard to do with it . ahh now we have a laser mouse which is efficient , light weighted , and perfect for gaming . som my vote goes to lazer mouse .

Optical mouse without a doubt, its lighter, less moving parts, more accurate.

I was so glad the day we stopped using ball mouses!

ofcourse optical mouse,the ball mouse got all dust trapped in em always which is pretty annoying i use to vaseling to the ball to make it smooth.LOL

Of course optical mouse is better. It doesn't need a mouse pad. With the ball mouse, we often have to take it apart to clean the task in the ball zone sothat the signal can be well read.

I do believe both has it pro's and cons as optical mouse is more reliable, but sometimes it doesn't do better if you have a mirror type of surface and this doesn't help much on getting better.

But with ball mouse you need to keep the roller clean and dust free. It's up to the user how and they want the mouse to be.

But I do like to ball type than the optic's ones

Yes, you are right optical mouse is far better then ball mouse. You can play different game from optical mouse. Also this mouse is more compatible with your hardware

yea..Optical mouse is much better..

optical mouse!!!!!!!! it is the best mouse there is in my opinion. a ball mouse gets gunk on its rollers and then the mouse hardly works.
