If it's the "8D Scrolling Mouse Optical Trackball" or something like that (basically, it has a trackball where a scroll wheel would be), than I have the drivers for it. If it is, I'll update tomorrow with the location of it.\n\nEdit:\nIf it is the the 8D mouse the url to download the driver is: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=128319\n\nIf not, I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Nothing except minor circuitry and software updates. I have the Logitech Orbit, and I love it.

Well, I purchased a Logitech® MX™518 Gaming-Grade™ Optical Mouse just to play Counter Strike... My gaming has improved better. I love its Looks and the experience with a MX518 is just great. It is "THE BEST".

USB-To-Serial Controller Keeps Portable Devices In Hand:\n\nCurrently, designers are moving away from serial and parallel ports and using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE-1394 ports in-stead. That's the reason why Kawasaki LSI is introducing its KL5KUSB116 USB-to-serial controller integrated circuit. It lets designers establish a USB interface in portable communications devices, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, and other information appliances that already have serial interfaces. \n\nAbout the size of a child's fingernail, or 7 by 7 mm, this device incorporates a USB transceiver engine (1.0/1.1 compliant), a standard serial-port interface engine, and a 16-bit RISC CPU with internal RAM and ROM. Thanks to these features, along with a high transfer rate of 230 kbits/s, this IC fits next-generation, handheld serial-to-USB designs. A UART is included as well for debugging and code development. \n\nSince this device implements the latest USB standard of higher-speed data transfers, it is well suited for connections to high-speed modems and ISDN terminal adapters. Additionally, the IC and its companion software make the USB interface transparent to the peripheral. No other firmware changes are required. Peripherals that have serial interfaces, then, can easily interface with USB with minimum modifications.

I bought one and the mouse cursor sometimes goes mad, only way to make it stop is to slightly bend the laptop. I only bought it as I repair full size PCs but never touched a laptop so I had to have one to play with. It was fairly cheap for what it is but was advertised as faultless (and with XP but instead it had NT,luckily I hate both and never intended to run either) so I guess someone else might see it as a rip-off, buying S/H is always a gamble but in the end it could have been much worse. Buying from eBay is MOST ALWAYS hit and miss so if you are not into taking things apart the best bet is to pay 3 times the money and buy new from a shop with a guarantee, then you have a place to go back to. \n\n I have found that even when buying new it often works out that the people in shops are mostly incompetent time wasters so is always best to learn a bit of DIY, computers are modular and if you are blessed with a little common sense they are very easy to fix with the individual bits being very cheap to buy.

a bluetooth mouse would use more power because it needs power to do the wireless thing, more enery is dispersed into the air, where a USB mouse the energy goes right through the cord.

If your mouse has a ball, make sure you clean the ball and the rollers inside the mouse case.  They tend to pick up a lot of dust.\n\nBetter yet, get an optical mouse, they don't have the dust problems due to no moving parts.

there is either a pad where you slide your finger across\nor \na little ball knob thing which is controlled through pressure and direction of one finger pressing it.\nYOU CAN allways hook up a mouse through USB port
