    I would go back to that mouse right now. My current mouse doesn’t work on windows because windows hates us. My cursor jumps a half an inch when randomly on certain things i click on. It’s a known issue with no solution from microsoft.

    I bet an analog mouse with basic drivers would work just fine.

      Eh, these also used to jump all over the place once you got too much gunk or hair on the rollers, and were orders of magnitude slower and less precise.

      I wouldn’t go back unless I was forced to work on a glass table, and I hear there are some optical mice that can work on glass now, so probably not even then.

      You can in a way. I use a trackball mouse. Cleans about the same, nostalgic every time. Plus my wrist doesn’t hurt anymore.

      Holy frick what mouse do you have?

      I have provisioned hundreds of different mice over the decades and never had anything nearly that bad, and that’s including the gen 1 optical mice.
