Default yipee... just got my brand new SNIPER BOOMSLANG 2100 :D

Was gonna say it was strange that you would buy a less-than-top model

Yeah the sensor is watching the ball instead of the surface you're on. Probably makes it easier since you allways know what the ball looks like.

I'm guessing it can still collect dust and go all crap-crap. I like pure optical better.

it has a little thinger to protect the ball but yah it does collect dust and crap

however the sampling is about 4-5 times higher than most opticals I have seen and used.. thing is damn accurate thats for sure...
