- I've been using a Boing! mouse for QUITE some time and I love it.. I never
- have to wash it's privates (my original had to have the little wheels cleaned
- constantly) and it's smooth and responsive, as the previous poster stated.

- I have *never* had any trouble out of it.. The mouse pad can even get
- pretty nasty and the mouse has no problem tracking, at all... I thought
- that when it got dirty, it would have problems, but it doesn't...
-
