Before I ask my question I'm going to give you a hypothetical situation that is rather realistic. And please, for the love of God, don't get fanboy flame happy on me. Situation: Imagine that you use a sensitivity around 25cm/360 and while you play games, you don't really generate enough speed to exceed 1m/s in your fastest flicks. Your resolution is 800x600 so you can get away with using 400dpi just fine, but if you're playing casual games at a higher resolution you'll probably want to crank that res just a little bit so 800dpi could probably fit your bill just fine if you needed it.

So there's your hypothetical situation. Now here's my question. If you put yourself in that situation, which kind of tracking sensor (laser or optical) would your choose? Why? Don't flame, don't whine, don't call me a stupid American that's had one too many cheeseburgers. I'm just curious to know what your reasoning behind your decision is.
