Whats the deal with the quick res changing stuff? Shouldn't you use max dpi at all times?

sounds like everyone here is guessing. start googling.

MX500 = 800 DPI & 4.7 megapixels/sec
MX510 = 800 DPI & 5.8 megapixels/sec
MX518 = 1600 DPI & 5.8 megapixels/sec

I thought the megapixels/sec was somehow proportional to the DPI and sampling rate, but this would show otherwise.

WTF is megapixels/sec then.

that is telling the banwith that the mouse can and will use to send the information to the computer, Wile DPI is the Sampling of the "eye"

Okay...
So wouldn't it need more bandwidth to send more sampling data to the computer?

Apparently not, but that was my thinking.

Anyway, I am confused as to why they didn't go with the new laser technology.. I thought this was being hailed as the new mouse technology for the best tracking and accuracy?

Guess that was just marketing hype then?

So, did the MX510 have excessive bandwidth, or is the 518 going to be somewhat starved?
