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!! :-)
What do you consider an optical mouse?? The Logitech Marble Mouse is an optical mouse as far as I am concerned. The only moving part is the ball which is tracked optically.
I'd probably call that optical-mechanical. Mine has a LED, only the buttons and the wheel move. Oh, and I don't have any delay with the wheel either.
