It was so disgusting digging all the gunk out with a toothpick, cotton swabs, and alcohol.

Optical mice were such a huge improvement everyone I knew (except the weird trackball guy) switched as soon as they became available and never looked back.

But it was so satisfying at the same time.

The first optical mice absolutely sucked compared to trackballs.

Fortunately, that period did not last long.

  First optical mouse I used was interning at a university engineering department in 1993. It had a special metal mousepad with a grid on it, and it worked pretty well as I recall.

    Nice. I was referring to the consumer-level products that didn’t require a special pad, though.
