I was so fucking glad when my office finally allowed us to replace them all with optical mice. Working in a place where hundreds of thousands of pieces of mail are opened daily in the room next to where the largest collection of desktops with mice meant they had tons of dust and crap stuck in them constantly, not to mention the crap from the people using them. The PC were bad enough but at least they just needed blowing out every few months. The mice needed cleaning monthly at the very least.

I recently bought a new once since I never got used to moving my hand around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UivImmb-7u8

I remember popping it out and rolling it around on the table as a child. Didnt make a good bouncy ball though.

I did the same thing! First time I did it I was surprised how heavy it was compared to the rest of the mouse, I also didn't expect it to make as much noise as it did when I threw it at the wooden floor.

I remember taking them out of all the school mice and watching the idiot teachers fumble around trying to figure out what was wrong.

And placing tape on the ball so it does nothing.

I 'member working for a tech firm, and had to get replacement balls for one of our clients. The first place that came up on a search was a medical lab that actually sold mice balls. Almost ordered them just to be funny, but they were uber expensive.
