Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser

Posted by timothy on Sunday August 29, 2004 @03:51PM from the we-can't-say-frickin'-on-the-air dept.

Kaveh writes "Looks like Logitech has introduced a successor to its popular MX line of cordless mice. In addition to a more ergonomic design, lithium ion battery, tilt wheel (read horizontal scrolling), and battery indicating LEDs, this mouse introduces laser technology. According to the Logitech this allows the MX1000 to be 20x more precise than optical mice, not to mention work on any surface, including a mirror! Check out the 3DGPU forums for pics and more info."

Now We Want One Mellion Cheese Wheels . . . by Dausha · 2004-08-29 15:57 · Score: 0, Redundant

Okay, so now that they've put lasers on mice, have they developed an aquatic laser for sharks? More importantly, have the mice been trained to target specific world leaders unless the governments of the world give us 1,000,000 chees wheels? If so, which world leaders?

All I wanted was a mouse with a fricking laser beam!
Of course there is always the "I for one welcome our new mice with fricking laser beam overloads".

Or maybe you'll be really really lucky with your aim and accidently give yourself laser eye surgery.

Microsofts mice are all I use. I started out with the "Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer" and now use a "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.0A", according to dmesg.

I can't wait to grab my "Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Laser Mouse® 1.0A".

Honestly, MSFTs hardware really isn't bad. I had lots of trouble with Logitechs and their inconsistent quality so I decided just to not use it anymore.
