Optical mice never were better on paper, laser have always had better specs. Laser mice generally have better dpi. That does not mean they are better.
yeah I shouldn't of said on paper. can't blame a woman when she hasn't had her coffee. CPI has very little to do with speed and tracking. lasers are better on paper because of the speckle pattern they can read translucent and transparent surfaces where an optical cannot and because lasers possess high energy do so with a higher resolution and less power consumption but they never lived up to expectations since their inception in 2004. with the introduction of the Philips Twin-Eye Series and Avago ADNS-9500 in 2009 they can track 6 metres a second by 100,000 counts a second effectively pushing the Avago ADNS-3688 to the side. you can now officially say lasers are better than opticals in every way but cost.

I like optical mice because they seem to be less problematic and marketing aside they are cheaper than lasers so I hope opticals are not on the verge of being phased out. I have a feeling Avago is going to create a lesser version of the 9500 because the second best laser they have is the 6090 and there is a huge performance gap in between the two.

Interesting. Does the avago adns-9500 have reverse acceleration (or whatever it is called)?

(btw, I remember reading that laser mice have reverse acceleration, which means they will accelerate if you move them faster. I thought it was in that post I linked, but I guess not.
Basically it was something like this: Put your mouse pointer at the bottom corner of the screen, and move it slowly up to the opposite top corner. Remember where the mouse was, and how far it moved. Then do it again, only move the mouse faster. With laser mice, the second time the mouse will not have to move as far. With optical it will be the same. Hopefully the way I described it makes sense)

I have never heard that term before. you can try browsing the Avago ADNS-9500 Data Sheet. I don't have Adobe Reader installed right now so I can't.
