can you explain what you mean by "high resolution" so that i can 
relate it to my experience with other mice? my offhand sense is 
that what you describe is available in other products (whether 
you mean finely controlled movements or rapid scrolling)

personally i'm pretty happy with my Logitech MX Nano, a small, 
medium-quality mouse with a tiny transmitter plug; the salient 
feature is available in several Logitech mice -- a two-mode 
wheel, free spinning or ratcheted (i looked at Bluetooth mice but 
shied away due to many reports of reduced responsiveness vs. 2.4 GHz)

and a question: does the Mighty scroll ball have the same problem 
as multi-touch trackpad scrolling, namely that unwanted side to 
side scrolling happens? i ask because i'm often annoyed when 
pages scroll sideways slightly when scrolling with a trackpad; 
it's hard to stay 100% vertical; a scroll wheel with shift suits 
me better
