Ummm, no. Moving and click speed acceptance are managed by either the Operating System's controls or by the software installed for the particular device (if you go that route).

Trust me. Once I switched to a wireless mouse, my computer started running so much faster.

That was most likely because the wireless mouse had a better driver.

I've been in IT for a while now and hadn't heard that one before. You also get a Schrute buck.

I think it has something to do with the wires... With a wireless mouse, the data doesn't have to travel through some long wire to the computer -- it just beams directly to the monitor. So much better.

Also, I moved my computer to my desk ages ago to avoid gravity interference. What do think I am, a noob?

Is anyone else thinking of Star Trek 4 when Scotty is talking to the Apple?

Try moving the box onto your desk so then the info doesn't have to travel upwards against the force of gravity too. J/K man

You've got a lot bigger issues than your mouse if that's the case. Your new mouse you probably installed the software for and it automatically setup the response times for movement and clicking. It is impossible for a mouse to make a whole computer faster.

Nah, this mouse has a nano-processor-cosmotron-accelerator which offloads mouse processing from the central processor, reducing the demand on the CPU. Also, it has a Turbo Button (R) to further increase computer speed, as well as horizontal, vertical and diagonal scroll wheels. I also painted flames on it.
