Never tried a Microsoft optical. I’ve had this here Logitech MX500 for a while now and never a problem. Precise enough to game competitively with (yeah, its sad admitting that) and ergonomically designed IMHO for easy grasping and such. Now they make the Bluetooth 510 or something like that in its place, but virtually the same thing. I’d recommend that, sir. ---

yeah, work the microsoft warranty. i’ve noticed that ms serial numbers tend to rub off for a while, so i’d recommend sticking some tape or something over it when you get a new product because they won’t honor the warranty otherwise. after i got shafted that way and they redesigned all their stuff i liked i went logitech and haven’t looked back, and the logitech warranty is way better. you: “my logitech project stopped working” logitech: “ok keep it, we’ll mail you a new one right away” ---
