It should have some "hovercraft" system, so it would hover over the table. I am really annoyed by cleaning it from junk that comes on the bottom side!

I thought that I'd be able to stop cleaning my mouse, once I got an optical mouse.
But it seems I clean my mouse even more often now -- as the 'pads' on the bottom of the mouse collect every bit of dirt off of my desk.
It is less work to clean it, but I still clean it every other day.

It´s strange... I got an optical mouse and all the fuzz is sticking on table and not on the mouse. I´ve to use a scrapter from time to time to remove the fuzz from my table.

My optical mouse gathers a thick layer of crud on the corner pads which causes it to skitter when I move it. I need to scrape the pads at least once a week.
Boy. How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they seen Karl Hungus.

I second that. Dunno whether you have witnessed that here, but meanwhile more and more developers here have an optical mouse

Is it possible that there is some hidden meaning behind this Poll ?

Very little chances. Maybe some mouse manufacturer asked Chris to do this poll so they can focus on the future products.

Like what?
I was cleaning out my mouse for the nth time and was wondering how often everyone else does the same.
Nothing sinister Colin.

Oh Ok,
Its just every week I try to guess what the Poll will be. For a while I saw a trend with a marketing motive of some form. (nothing sinister with that either) Anyhow this Poll makes me remember how many weeks there are in a year, and how having a new Poll every week must present a challenge to you.

the next logical poll would be:
Q: how often do you remove the lint from your navel?
A) hourly
B) daily
C) weekly
D) I am an outtie

Don't be blabbing this, but I've heard that Chris is developing a line of CP accessories. The first of these is a Bob mouse, constructed of a new plastic that does not attract fuzz. Being the most frequently used function, Bob's large eye will be a left button, and the smaller a right button. Bob's navel will serve a dual purpose, one as an optical scroll wheel activated by the ridges of fingerprints, the other as a repository for what tiny bit of fuzz the device will inevitably collect. Rumor has it that we can expect to see them in stores in time for Christmas.

Very pleased at the results so far. After using the MS opticals for years, I hate going back, not just because the optical has nicer motion, but because the Intellimouse Explorer is big and fits my hand perfectly.
That makes me think - don't you feel dumb when you're using some other type of mouse and you slap your thumb against the side, trying to click the non-existant side buttons?

Worth mentioning are the additional buttons as well. Since I have the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 at work, I really miss the back button at home

I strongly agree! I think the Intellimouse Explorer is GREAT; other mice feel childish and under-endowed when you're used to the real thing.

I am addicted to the buttons on the side as well.
I also have the intellisense keyboard with the shortcut buttons on the top of the keyboard which I really enjoy to control my CD player, popup the calculator and other neat little fun things.

Not sure, but I think my "mouse" might be the Klingon version of Paul's Borg mouse!
The MS Optical Trackball does need a little de-fuzzing every now and then.
But it makes up for it when playing Win XP Plus 3D PinBall.
WOOHOO. I think it must be the only mouse that you can really spin.
wrrr wrrr wrrr (it'll be a good week)
