You're as bad as people who insist that Topre keyboards are mechanical.
>>52335316
Technically, old style mice are optical.
>>52335172
these shits were the worst
the ball would misalign and it was such a pain in the ass
no thank you
>>52335172
>cleaning out the gunk on the rollers
Never again.
>>52335172
>>Not wanting to have a built in anti theft device, mouse is useless without a ball
Which is why people steal the ball.
>>52335316
Topre is mechanical though. You're just poor.
>>52335577
In what way is it optical, anon?

>being on the technology board.
>not knowing how basic technology works.
i had one like 8 years ago but tossed it
i feel so fucking stupid
>>52335172
Why is optical in quotation marks? Are you implying they're not actually optical?
>>52335172
>anti theft device
Sorry Dwight, but I don't get picked on and have my things stolen in the office. Like a regular human being, I have no reason to use antique computer technology.
>>52335172
nice shilling retard
>>52337516
anyone interested in this look up how optical/rotary encoders work
>>52335200
Maybe at Goodwill or a flee market.
>>52337683
More specifically, quadrature encoding.

It has a camera, no axles turning or anything like that.

Don't reply to bait.
ball mice were fucking awful. they were even more awful in laptops. but there will never be a feel like picking the lint off of the roller and having it all come off in a single, monolithic chunk.
>>52335172
in computer apps class in HS I used to mess around and blind friends with laser mice so my teacher took away the mouse and gave me a ball mouse so I took the ball out and played with it. Wr3ck3d.

Smug is smug.
Exactly the right response, anon.

Literally my fetish. Just like pulling the dust off the top of your CPU cooler in one solid carpet.
>>52335172
Ball mice are also optical, just a more primitive type. Where is your god now?
