Yes, I've had my Boing! optical mouse now for 7 months or so, and I love
it! I have never had any problems with it, and its so smooth flowing I
nearly forget I'm using a mouse. And with the extra center mouse button it
opens up new possibilities for such things as the new Amiga UNIX and can be
used with many programs currently available such as Matt Dillon's Dme, etc.
Overall its one of the best mice (if not the best) I've owned for any of my
machines. (Blows the doors off the original Amiga mouse, and is also better
than the Mac Optical in responce, etc.)

It is indeed a bit pricy however, but if you look at how often you have to
clean the bloody mouse, and how often it fails/breaks down vs. the Boing!
mouse's 25 year MTBF (mean time between failures) it's worth it in the long
run. Especially if you get it through a discount place like Abel or such.
