It's so cool to not have to keep unlooping that damned cord :)
What other goodies should I be looking into??

I also got an optical keypad.. ultra cool for my spreadsheet stuff :)

2. All my optical mice have cords on them.

What you have is a cordless optical mouse. I don't need to replace batteries and reset stuff.

6. And you never need to clean the shit from the rollers

Optical mice rule! And what is that shit anyway? Bleah!

9. It's called schmootz

3. You're mistaking optical for cordless

Optical refers to the red light on the bottom of your mouse that tracks movement instead of a ball. Cordless and optical are both quite nice.

4. red light on the belly..no cord.. Yayyyyy

The only difficulty I have is that it'slittler than the ancient one I nearly wore smooth...

5. I have a Logitech MX700 - It's big, haha

I love it. Using a regular mouse drives me nuts now, they're so light and small.

7. Hmmmm, very symbolic.

8. Positively phallic
