There isa reason people stopped making them 20 some years ago. Membranes are better.
If you are a button masher, its cool you can geta membrane with n-key rollover, they just cost as much as a mechanical.
As for USB mice.
If you actually use 1600 MHZ polling rate on USB, you are hurting your gaming experience more than helping it.
Heres how I know.
Naked desktop, open task manageer and switch to processes.
Keep your eye on the CPU usage. Then shake the mouse fora a few seconds. Change polling rate and repeat.
1600 MHZ polling rate uses 13-15% CPU usage on a SB-E at 4GHz.
30% on an athlon 2 x2 at 3.7

So how do you cut back on the CPU usage of the mouse?
