I like the feel of the new Apple ADB mice. They feel better than Xerox
mice, especially with a mouse pad.
I've heard that a very popular optical mouse (A+; Mouse systems) uses
a directional pad. This is really poor engineering, since
multi-directional mice have already been invented to solve this
problem. Xerox makes multidirectional optical mice with micepads that
are simply a textured paper. If you need a new pad, just Xerox
(that's Photocopy, ooops) the old one...
