You must be doing something wrong. :-) My family has had cats for almost as long as I can remember. We currently have three of them and they lose a lot of hair. But somehow my Logitech Mouseman Cordless (bought 1995) lasted for 11 years. It was still working last year but I go sick of replacing the batteries. :-) > Anyone with experience using their optical mouse under FreeBSD? All > input will be very much appreciated. Yup. I have a Copperhead. Not really el cheapo either but pricing was ok for me. The light is great for my long nightly sessions. :-) And together with a bungee I don't even mind the cable anymore! Works fine unter FreeBSD. Only problem is that by default it is recognized as a keyboard which kinda stops my other keyboard (non-USB) from working. But there's a way around that so no worries!
