When you pit an optical mouse versus a laser mouse, you might not know the differences. Which one is the best pick for you and why? Our guide will show you!

Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced that its laser navigation sensor technology is now available to mouse manufacturers worldwide. Three versions of the industry's first laser-based optical ...

According to Logitech, this laser sensor is intended to have 20 times the tracking power, or accuracy, of a typical optical-sensor mouse.

Finally, we had the laser mouse offering much greater sensitivity than optical mice were capable of, but on some surfaces, the laser mouse provided worse tracking that the optical mouse.

Optical mouse with infrared LED. Both mice use a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor to record the reflection from the laser or LED.

An optical or laser sensor also means you don't need a mousepad for the mouse to work well. Mice makers, like those behind the MX Master 3, sometimes brag about this as if it were an exclusive ...

A mouse sensor engineer helps us break down optical vs. laser, wired vs. wireless, and how mouse sensors work.

The 4000 DPI resolution and 100 inches per second tracking speed of this Razer 3G Laser Sensor will probably give you as much of an advantage in BioShock as you’re going to get, short of ...

I also tried the mouse on glass and mirrors, curious about Logitech's warning (on their literature and on the box itself) that the MX 1000’s laser sensor will not work on reflective surfaces.
