I haven't actually noticed that but then again, I'd *never* consider using
a $10 mouse either. I learned years ago that cheap input devices cause
nothing but frustration and my current home kbd/mouse combo are coming up
to 8 years old now and haven't skipped a beat yet.

I'd steer well clear of any mouse with a sensor strip myself. I *hate*
those darn pads on laptops; never been able to use them and have long
since given up trying. My laptop has always had its own mouse, and since
my laptop weighs 7kg and was bought purely for working OS, it's only ever
used on a desktop anyway.

I'm going to put myself in the old-fart boat with you. I'm too far gone to
bother with configuring and tweaking and learning. If it doesn't Just Work
out of the box, I'm simply not interested.
