Two-eyed optical mice

[Mephisto]

Are they really smoother e.g. in playing games than the ones with one sensor?
Did anyone who tried both types notice an appreciable difference?
Thanks!

I haven't seen those before, do you know of any companies that make them?

Have you tried normal optical mice? I've found those are smooth enough.

Most of the Logitech Optical mice have two sensors as opposed to the original versions that only had one sensor.

Never had the one sensor type ,but both the Logitech Opticals I have work great. http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/...rview.cfm/2821 http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/...erview.cfm/104

Yes, I have the Logitech Wheelmouse Optical (one sensor), and I'm happy with it.
The ones with two sensors are quite new. I'm wondering if it makes an improvement or if it's just a marketing gag.

There's a good review here.

Excerpt from review:
Perhaps if you spend a lot of time using a mouse on shag pile carpet or leaf litter or coffee grounds or something, then the Dual Optical will be obviously superior.

Personally, I choose A4Tech 520DPI OK-520 (serial) or OK-720 (PS/2) mouse. They only cost me USD 2.70 each; directly from the importer.

PS: Mephisto, are you all set for the 2002 World Cup fever?

Thanks, Ratt!
That article is exactly what I was looking for.
No need to upgrade!
And, no football fever yet. Besides, because of time zone difference between Germany and Japan, most of the matches will take place during working hours!
In 2006 the World Cup will take place in Germany, much better!

ooh, cool!

I love logitech mice.

That is a cool site Ratt, it seems tho that the dual sensors are just a gimmick unless you are using your mouse on silly surfaces.
