dual optical mouse

i just got an early birthday present from a friend of mine...he got me the logitech dual optical mouseman...

and WOW this is a good mouse! it works very very smoothly and even feels great in the hand too. and it's fun to play with at night;)

ahh yeah, you gotta love those late night rounds of cs

What is a dual optical mouse?
Is it better then a regual optical mouse?
How much does it cost and where can u get them?

its made by logitech and it has two optical sensors instead of one-for greater accuracy

i've never used one, but i've seen many good reviews of them...last time i checked they were $30-40

moouers, have u ever tried the microsoft intellimouse optical or explorer? if you have, how does the dual optical rate compared to them

yeah, my friend had the microsoft intellimouse...but unfortunately i can't give a very accurate comparison. the last time i used the microsoft one was last year when i didn't quite realize what a good mouse was. but my friend who has been using that microsoft optical mouse for a long time now says he is going to buy the dual optical after seeing how good it was:) so i guess that says something. i like the ergonomics of it too...very comfortable and natural.

I've heard a lot of good things about those mice. I'm not going to upgrade though. I already have an Intellimouse Optical.

yea, ive had the dual optical for a few months now and have been extremely happy with it.. unfortunately i did run into problems such as the left button sticking during a few games.. but now.. sadly, the mouse is dead.. doesnt work at all.. no idea why since i take good care of it.. oh well time to buy another :(

I also have the dual optical Logitech mouse. It is very comfortable. I highy recommend it. I got it for $50 from Bestbuy.

Dude, warranty it. I know it's a pain, but I believe that thing carries a 5 year warranty on it.

I will never go back to a ball mouse. I hate it when I get on another computer and have to deal with one. Optical forever.

there's one more thing i have to say about this mouse...

i can now draw a circle in Paint!;)

Anyone got a link for this mouse?

here are a few reviews for you...

I can make an accurate comparison of all three opitical mice. logitech single optical(at home), Logitech dual(on laptop),Microsoft explorer(at work).

#1)Logitech optical single. Before you guys start yelling at me, let me tell you why i think this. First off I have the previous generation of logitech optical, 1st gen optical i think too with iFeel. The only reason I put this here is because it feels so much better with long uses/games, it's the best design logitech ever made, why they switched is beyond me.

#2)Logitech dual. Very precise, I can draw very accuratly with this one, a good work mouse if you ask me. Only problem is design, for big hands it feels kinda cramped. Buttons are alright.

#3)Microsoft explorer. This one seems very hastly put together and the buttons are misplace. Please note that this is the first gen explorer too and the new ones that i have tried are better now. the feel of the mouse is good, you can use it for a long time but not good for gaming.

If they made dual optical with prev gen style it would be an awsome mouse, ack i can't believe they changed it.
