    I'd honestly skip the cheap mice, don't perform properly, move when there is no movement etc.

So it will work as a regular 5 button mouse but I don't think you can program the other three if you're using Vista/7.

    It was a decent gaming mouse though, 800dpi sensor.
    Don't give it away, sell it on Trademe.

    FWIW: Cheap optical mice are fine provided you have a consistent surface to run them over.

    Don't use a cheap mouse

    You don't want to get RSI / OOS from a poorly designed mouse. It took me over 2 years to recover from a wrist - arm injury from using a cheap mouse while contracting and doing a look of database work. The app required a lot of mouse work and once I knew I had a problem it was too late and just got worse.

    I couldn't hold a full glass in my right hand, it cost me hundreds in rehab costs for an osteopath that ACC didn't fully pay for, plus time not working.

    Go buy a mouse from one of the top manufacturers - pay the good dollars.
    Here for the ride.

    I thought trackballs were for amateur old guys who think ahving 1 makes them a CAD legend.

    Nope, for people with limited desk space(great for laptops that are actually mobile) and not wanting to move their entire wrist/arm when the unused thumb can do it just as accurately(plus it's pretty good for FPS).

    Also means it still works even if not on a solid surface, e.g. lying in bed watching a movie.

    Almost 2 1/2 years strong, only just having problems with clicking in the scroll wheel. Always free-spin-ftwin
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Does that cause wrist injuries?

    When you get one stick it up your arse and twist it around until you snag a piece of corn. Then give it to the kids and tell them it's a chuppa chupp.
