Well, after attending many mice throughout the year, my final conclusion came to no, they do not. Ever since the roller mouse, my mistumi worked great, but I would have to oil and clean it, etc etc until the plastic wore out. It still worked though with a new ball. Def a rec ps/2 roller mouse, probably the best. The next mouse I bought was the creative labs OMC90s (if bought means stole from my dad). Another great mouse, the slider is great, everything is good about it. Except, one thing. The cord contact issue arose. Along with three others. This is because the mouse itself has a bad wire. However, this problem always occurs with the contact because you are constantly moving the mouse. Hence, people would buy a mouse every few months. Why does the creative labs mouse work so well though? Because of light. Light and the lens is what makes the slider well in a mouse. And creative labs omc90s does it perfectly. However after throwing it against the wall for no reason, and putting it back together, I realized something. The contact was bad. So I merely looped the wire in a fashion where even then it still works. That's why people kept buying new mice. Because the game never could handle the mouse correctly. Yet I rec both the mitsumi and the creative labs omc90s. I do not rec the logitech series (unless its wireless, hence a copper wire or strand can be..you know cut or stretched). Somehow the manufacturer does not know how to offset the slider with the right size bulb, giving a slick feel almost alien to the mouse pad. The creative labs omc90s does this perfectly. Any other mouse though will have issues, by far. Whether it be cable, or a hair or the lens. Its ireplacable. When consumers want to buy a mouse, they buy one now-a-days without a cord. Before though, the mouse would need replacing every few months. That's why during the years of say...1998-2015 I had two mice, not 4 or 5 and decided to buy a wireless. Because wireless works. It won't stress the contact. It won't even break the contact points. Ever since then I thought IO usb 2.0 drivers got hot due to 'over-heating' by 'mystical sources' However, it was not the usb but the mouse cable being stressed. When you move a mouse you stress the copper joints, and eventually loosen them. Sometimes the polarity gets off because of weak contact. Sometimes its a weak broken contact because the electricity has to go up, and on a humid..not hot..day this naturally will occur with the soldered pts. This is not due to bad design, but a bad system of design (corded mice last 2-3 years tops if the cord is remotely stressed on a low voltage (high-to-low voltage, a flimsy design eg xbox 360 usbs never 'glitch' nor do keyboards) device such as a 5 volt usb (low amps will cause signal issues even, mice are low amps, they are 100ma instead of xbox's 400ma), where as ps/2 mice are better in this regard compared to usb..because of better contact, or maybe they are just the same). Yet the omc90s has the best slider I have ever handled. When you move a ps/2 mouse from your desk, its vibration can't move the stem or port hole. However, my work pc is not my game pc and I went through at least 3 or 4 mice there. A usb mouse wobbles back and forth ie a bad mouse wire is made via bad contact or some sort of loosened solder joint! This can occur on either end, but most manufacturers have a standard pin connector. It infact occurs on the connector rather than on the base of your pc, where the usb mouse is. Call it what you will, humidity, heat (which infact activates this subtle curse) yet I call it a bad signal because the copper gets loosened, 'pulled' or stretched. I call it an error made by the manufacturer of the mouse itself. Yet hard drives can even brick on days humid enough. Enough said, the pulse of light on rollers and an led mouse detect pulses of light by square inch so that the mouse cursor moves..ie a 480 screen will have that many pulses of light in its x axis and 640 in its y axis which is why a chip is there. Each pulse of light is a pixel movement of the mouse cursor. Therefore you can program the mouse to go fast or slow depending on the default resolution of the screen. If the cursor doesn't move, that's probably the programmed chip failing somehow (the dpi of the mouse is infact the resolution of the monitor, hence on tvs dots per square inch ie analog-to-digital is a chip, yet the cathode electron tube of old televisions will always be 480i or watever via scans of rgb through an rf which I call an 'electron gun' or some sci-fiee radiation gizmo..or something like an xbox 360 will never work, not ever at 1080p well, it will always be more vivid at native 720p). Why build a theatre when you have a living room. Or bad contact is not detecting the led's laser. LED means low voltage is the problem with most mice unless a wireless signal is set up. How bout if the industry just boosts the mouse to 400 ma and everyone is happy? Like maybe it will be a new xbox 360 controller instead of an unstable piece of junk? Why does wireless work best? Because the ma signal is much lower, and it heats up the sensor, that's it. The signal must be much stronger..it simply can't just be 'elemental' Its like a remote that's always on. The sensor draws 500ma and converts it to a few like 20 ma. In reality the 2.4g signal is 500ma, just like an xbox 360 controller. If the industry were smart enough, they would have made the corded mouse...yes that's right. 500 ma. A video decoder decodes and transmits or vice versa. The world of electronics is infact microcosmic, its a vast field and a great science. However, If an hdmi signal goes out...that's an electrical issue. If a mouse goes out that's an electrical issue do to heat as well. It bypassed a surge protector or two or it elementally has a 'bad wire' because of heat or humidity shorting out soldered points (it may not be a thunder storm after all). Oh well a fridge or a fan was on a burned outlet. This would bypass the surge protector in the main room..hence its wise to get a surge protector in general for your pc/tv etc. If the power goes out and you have a surge protector for a circuit box, but not one for a tv...your hdmi or wat have you will go out, that is ofcourse...if you decide not to fix say that wall outlet that is burned (even if its not being used, the electricity can hit the wall outlet at a speed and then shoot it back to the surge in the circuit box or power box itself but the components will be unsafe, unless with a surge protector). To fix transformers you need to resolder the points, unless its a coil issue do to...heat. That means you can't build the product right. If a computer goes out, it has worn parts. Maybe even the ps3/ps4 lithuim controller can't be charged via low millamps. Every time your mouse disconnects due to low amperage...its (your pc) is going to look for drivers. This can actually be a form of rebooting your pc. So you can say a bad internet connection is because your mouse has a bad wire due to low amperage. So a common fridge will go out if the condenser gets too hot. Same as your PC, if you don't have a fan (or skip on paying for the ac bill), you will be out of luck. The hot DRY air (esp if you are in a room without insulation), not humid will destroy your PC eventually (causing vertical sync issues on monitors, hdmi damage in a lightning storm or during a hot day, usb disconnects and contact failure to even hard drives to brick, all of this in hot dry air apparently). It will cause unknown issues like voltage sparks or even monitors to blink. This can be aleviated with a fan on a windowsill. The air of the large fan would need to go out of the room. The problem is air does not move. You need at least a fan to circulate air on a hot day, however humid hot air is worst in my book. A fan to circulate via a room without ac creates both dry air and humid air to circumvant ie the air will move instead of stay stagnant. With dry air its going to be a problem for your monitors, with humid air it will be your pc. Dry air creates bad environments eg too much heat is easily accumulated in capacitors etc, humid air will create bad contact or signals eg the mouse will have voltage issues. Why is xbox 360 not broken since 2007? Why does it work well? What's a usb for anyways? High voltage usually, like printers and stuff. Bottom line, only wireless mouses work.
