All of this is --precisely-- the reason I switched to an optical mouse, and I have never regretted it. I have absolutely no problems with it, unlike some of the others. In particular, when I move the mouse, the cursor reacts immediately, whether the motion is fast or slow. Haven't tried it on games, but I don't think it would be a problem there.
It's a Logitech USB mouse with a PS/2 adapter. No @#$%$#^% way am I going to hang a 9600 baud device off a multi- megabit USB port!! :-)
Hi, I have 2 systems with Logitech Marbel trackballs Optical. One is native plugged into USB 1.x port on SUSE 8.2 and the other is same model but plugged into PS/2 port via Ligitech adapter supplied. When I 'snap' my finger on the ball for a burst of rapid movement I see the 'stuck cursor' mentioned on the PS/2 connected TB, but on the USB connected TB the cursor moves fasted than I can see. I will remember this! PeterB -- -- Proud SUSE user since 5.2 Loving SUSE 9.2 My BLOG == http://vancampen.org/blog --
