optical or ball mouse?

i use both optical and ball mouse.

I use the optical mouse. I think that it is better than the ball one which can gather dust easily and stop working because of that. I used to have a ball one and it was too much hustle. I had to clean it all the time so it can work better. A friend of mine told me to buy an optical mouse and I have been using it now for three years without any problem.

In my house back in my hometown, I'm still having the ball mouse for the PC. The computer is 5 years old by now, anyway.. So, at that time, ball mouse is still kinda popular. I can say that I don't like it that much coz the ball gets dirty very fast. I had to take it out to clean it before I play any game.
I have an optical mouse here. I think it works much better than the ball mouse. At least, there's no ball for me to clean every now and then.

Optical mouse of course. I haven't used a roller ball mouse in years. Optical is way better. My current mouse is a microsoft wireless laptop mouse that is nice and smell yet really comfortable.

mine is optical, i used ball mouse, is very bad and i hate...

We've been using optical mouse for months already. It's more convenient and more comfortable. I can easily access and navigate the PC well than the other one. All our PC in our house have been changed to optical already.

I use a wireless Microsoft laser mouse. I had owned a Microsoft wired optical mice prior until its right button started going a little dodgy a few weeks ago, but I'm very happy with this one (though it took a wee while getting used to the added weight).

i use optical 1...ball mouse irritates me ...as it hampers ur speed n reduces ur concentration as well

hmmmmmmm.i prefer optical mouse coz it is more efficient that ball mouse gives more life and i have to pay less attention for cleaning it coz it not reluctant with dust...
