Well, just a comment from the peanut gallery:
As a game player with both roller mice and optical mice, I find both
to be usefull. Each has its quirks. Have seen some complaints about specific
amiga optical (and roller) mice, but I use a sun mouse (xtrek anyone?) and
my orginal 1000 mouse. Three buttons would be nice if you wanna run xwindows
on the 3000UX. Of course, optical mice don't need to be cleaned as often, 
you do have to take better care of their pads (which scratch rather easily).
I always have my bi-monthly de-gumming of my amiga mouse.

My opinion, try before you buy! (or get a guarrantee( sp? )

Pretty lousy aint it, well it IS 3:50 AM, and my cross developing
has come to a complete halt, (from a 1000 with a 590 and 20MB to
a 1000 with a lucas and a robot attached to it, silly, but if ya only
got one port, ya only got one port.) robot machine gurus everytime.

Hey perry, if your listening, thanks, and no, it hasn't blown yet.

I highly reccommend swinging the 1010 by its cord to lengthen it.
