But sounding the death knell for the device is Gartner analyst Steve Prentice who said "the mouse will no longer be mainstream in three to five years".

For real though, what has challenged the mouse other than a trackpads?  I mean, I loooooove Apple trackpads, but they're only really great for:

a) laptops
--b) Apple laptops

So....what else is there?

The microsoft and new logitech ones are pretty butt ugly (although the new blu beam one from microsoft looks fine).  the mouse I use is from a few years back and has everything I need: side buttons and a vertical only scroll wheel.

tilting scroll wheel :piss2

never understood the purpose other than making clicking the wheel in more difficult

Cheer up.  Eat a little Swiss cheese before bed and you could be an honorary Swiss too.

Well played. :)




The mouse I use at my home PC still has the ball in it, lol. I remember the first time I saw a click wheel I was like WTFFF.

I don't understand why shipping a billion of something is such a big deal though. I'm sure there have been a billion TV remote controls shipped, or a billion telephones, or a billion hair scrunchies.
