Thanks for sharing... pass the mindbleach please?

Seriously though, can't be that much of an invasion when you pretty much put yourself out there on your own now, isn't it?

the woot trackers pull data from the RSS feed since it's a smaller file and nicer to the woot servers. The RSS feed appears to be a little out of sync with the regular homepage.

I'm in for one. Well for my mom at least. She still has "gasp" a corded mouse with the ball on the bottom. Remember those?

r3al h@x0rz use http://www.twitter.com/wootoff because items show up there about 30 seconds or so before they appear on any trackers or on woot.com

Well think of it this way 3 of the buttons are right click, left click, and scroll wheel click. Figure that you will use the 2 thumb buttons for back and forward that only leaves you 3 to remember and that is not that hard at all

While sometimes true.... this can vary quite a bit. It depends on a few factors. Sometimes it's quite late. But it is one more tool...

My last wireless mouse chewed up my sock. I suppose he was "wireless" but not so much "tail-less..."
I have a cage for this one.

Nothing is foolproof for a talented fool.

Balls.

Old mice had balls, not wheels.

Not true. REALLY old mice had two wheels.(vertical and horizontal) This one, however, looks to only have one...


EDIT: Nope, it has two wheels. See?

Razer Naga anyone?

Well the naga's cool but i think it might have to much space devoted to keys for even me. But yeah a lot of people I know, especially fps players use 5+ button mice.

On my MX518, buttons 6 & 7 change the mouse resolution, and button 8 does the Win7 Aero Flip, (presumably does a similar window-cycling trick on other OSes)

When this first debuted, I bought two. One for me and one for my wife. They work fine, but there is no slot to store the usb receiver on the mouse, and it is easily lost. We already lost one.

I have the same boycott against any service or product that replaces an S with a Z. It is not funny or clever, it makes you look ignorant and I refuse to support anything that sells itself to the lowest common denominator.

Hated this mouse. Bought it on woot when it was on here...gave it away. I use the computer for photo editing...it just didn't move smoothly enough.
