[MG] good 2-button mouse?

[Bill Reburn]

Yup - two lasers. (in my bestest Dr. Evil voice - "Yes, there are two
Frikking Laser beams on the new Logitech Mouse)  ;-)

Nevin, do you find the performance of your optical mouse sketchy on all
surfaces? Do you use just your desktop? Is it glossy?

I do and I get jumpy mouse action all the time (my desk has a wood grain
texture). I have heard that picking up one of those slightly textured
uberslim mouse pads helps. Either that - or you have a lower optical
resolution with your mouse. The newer ones are higher (can't quote numbers),
and provide a pixel to pixel higher perfromance rate than a 'normal' or
older optical mouse.

Which are you using?
