Its a conspiracy, a big giant bag of conspiracy.

Besides, I hate cordless mice and keyboards. Too much radio interference over here, cursor ends up walking all over the place when the mouse is still...

Your image looks like Quasimodo as portrayed in Disney's _Hunchback of Notre Dame_.

Way, WAY too much info

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

Seriously, who is going to remember what all eight buttons do?

A hell of a lot of us... Ive been using a razor with more than 7 programmable buttons for years now... never any trouble.

anyone know if you can turn this mouse off?

Sweet, now we just need them to accept a #buy retweet.

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

I have never met a mouse or keyboard or any other HID device that wasn't compatible with all operating systems

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.

Balls.

Old mice had balls, not wheels.

Oh thanks man. It's been so long seen I have seen one that I forgot what it was LOL

durkzilla wrote:Balls.

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?

Longer range? Can probably use it up to 150' away! ;-)

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.

Is "iHome" the new "Roomba"??

Hey! Thats the mouse they gave me at my last place of employment!

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.

Did I miss any cameras today? I've been trying to keep up but actually had work to do today. I'm in need of a new digital camera. Am I out of luck?

decent price, but I am starting my own personal boycott and refusing to buy crap with a lower-case i starting the name out. Dangit, folks, enough is enough!

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.
