m00j - lol, yeah, i could repaint it, and it DEFINITELY needs new feet. it has served me well, and does pretty well in games, but it's a couple years old now, maybe just time for a new mouse
superart, that's a good idea, i might upgrade to that mouse. didn't even know it was available

for work, the trackball works a lot better. i've gotten myself used to small movements, and most regular mice just can't handle it. but, due to the mechanics of a trackball, i can comfortably use it at lower resolutions accurately. it's just a mechanics/ergonomics thing.
