A small part of the system that is overlooked is the mouse.

I've switched to an "MS Optical Mouse" and really am impressed with the way it performs.

No more "sticky" moves because of dirt. Also,the resolution seems to be better.

I second jenks' suggestion. Optical mice are the best.

Just my 2¢

I omitted the mouse because I'am using a Logitech TrackMan Marble. I like the rotating ball because i don't have to drag the mouse around my mouse pad. Thoughts??

I recently switched from a Logitech trackball

to a Microsoft optical trackball.

The main reason was because my thumb was begin to give me pain after 8 to 12 hours on a computer.

The MS trackball is taking some getting used to. You move a big ball with your fingers.

One feature I really like is that it has 2 extra programmable buttons. I've programmed

one as Escape and the other as F1 (zoom).

I haven't decided if I like this trackball yet, but my thumb does.
