To me it always felt like a mouse with a clean ball was more responsive and accurate than a laser mouse. Especially in competitive gaming in the early 2000s. Not sure if that was just imagined on my part though. Part of me still thinks it's better. There's just something about the mechanical nature of the ball mouse. It felt like a precision instrument that had be cared for. A laser mouse in comparison has always been a bit gimmicky. Even though technically a modern laser mouse surely has way higher sample rates.
