I prefer mechanical mice over the optical crap that starts
bouncing the cursor one pixel up and down just by itself
without any device movement. And cordless--no thanks. The
so-called cordless devices actually have _more_ cords than
non-cordless ones, thanks to the gazillion AC adapters etc.
You need to switch batteries and so on, and batteries make
mice heavy. I also don't trust their proprietary encryptions.
(I guess bluetooth has something better, but the other concerns
remain.)
