Imagine the scenario,
they figure out that the old mechanical mouses are pretty unreliable,
with all those moving parts getting clogged up all the time,
so they replace it with a bulletprof optical system,
even a laser system on the latest ones.
Then they install a mechanical ball drive in the top,
and don’t even allow access for cleaning.
The first few months were great,
its a useful system when you get used to it-
And the next generation will obviously be better,
once they figure out
that they’d be better off replacing the dodgy rolling ball
with a far superior optical system.
Why didn’t they think of that?
But for now I’m getting pretty tired of a thing that
doesn’t work reliably.
Mac bashing in a Microsoft bashing thread.
Funny old world, eh?
Like i say I have a KVM switch and use a Mac Keyboard (I use it for final cut pro editing) and a Microsoft laser mouse thingy and a A3 Tablet. They are all connecte dto 2 PCs (windoze XP) a G4 running OS9 and a G5 Running OS X, and it works very solidly.
I gave up on mac mice when they introduced that stupid round one with the Blue & white G3s
But most of the good mice brands all work very nicely with OS X, even have horizontal and vertical scroll
