I've been late with this month's Completely Random And Pointless Poll.
So I won't take too long on the intro for this one. This time, let's
focus on your mouse. You know, that wiggly lil' plastic gadget beneath
your hand. Let's describe it!

Please answer the following question. My mouse is:

   1) ...Top of the line! It has more buttons than my keyboard! 
   It has so many LEDs I need a special permit so airplanes 
   don't mistake it for landing lights. It's DPI is measured 
   in fentometers. It's more programmable than my primary PC. 
   If I can't do it with my mouse, it can't be done by any 
   mouse.

   2) ... A high-end gaming mouse; high-DPI and easily 
   programmable so I can pwn the n00bs!

   3) ... A high-end regular mouse; more than the usual 3-buttons 
   and perhaps an above-average DPI. I'm a good office worker!

   4) ... A mouse. Click-click-click. Hey, look, it's even 
   got a scroll-wheel! What else could a mouse have?

   5) ... The cheapest piece of plastic tat available, but
   it gets the job done (barely). 

   6) ... An Apple mouse: stylish but horrid to use

   7) ... Still got a ball!

   8) ... A trackpad, because I hate myself.

   9) ... A trackball! (or some alternate pointing device, 
   like the Thinkpad's mouse nub)

   10) ... A keyboard, because real users stick with the 
   command line

   11) ... What's a mouse? I move the cursor by inputting the 
   coordinate deltas manually!



Myself, I fall firmly into category 3, with my stylish and comfortable
Logitech mouse. Six buttons, although I almost never use any but the
main two. (well, more accurately -given my habit of collecting useless
electronics- I have a multitude which spans almost the entire list.
But my primary mouse -the one I most often use- is as boring as
described above).


So describe your mouse? Do you let your hand wallow in luxury with the
highest-end pointing device available, or tempt carpal tunnel with
something that only vaguely resembles a mouse? The compilers of CRAP
poll data need a response!
