actually, the cost doesn't concern me so much. i'm a bit more worried about the damage that a laser mouse might cause to the eyes when i clean it out and such. any suggestions? Turn it off when you clean -- the problem solved 
signmeuptoo is completely right. LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation. And key words here are "light" and "emission and radiation". The difference is not is the light visible or not (it still a light emitted and radiated from LED), but it's rather in: LASER emits coherent wave, while common LED doesn't. That feature allows more precise processing of reflected from surface images resulting, as you know, in more tracking precision (DPI). That's probably it. |
