Behold the laser mouse

[mubs]

From Logitech. Story here.

<snip>

Because the laser light used in the MX 1000 relies on a short wavelength, the MX 1000 mouse is approximately 20 times more sensitive to surface details than conventional optical mice. As a result, the mouse can accurately transmit information about its motions to the computer when traveling across shiny or slick surfaces....

The sensor can capture 5.8 megapixels of details per second....

The MX 1000 features 10 control buttons...

The mouse charges in about three to four hours and a charge lasts about 21 days....

Available Sep 1 for $79.

A $79 device from Logitech - clearly it's more powerful than the lasers they use for eye surgery. And those lasers have far vewer buttons and are only USB 1.1 compatible. No, this is a peripheral device and missile guidance system built into one.
