Logitech's Mx1000 Laser Mouse

Maybe it's the wannabe evil supervillain in us, but we're always happy to see lasers being added to gadgets, and the forums over on 3dgpu.com have a good rundown of new Logitech Mx1000 Laser Mouse. Why is a laser mouse better than a regular optical mouse? Supposedly it offers up to 20 times more sensitivity to surface details, which means better tracking for designers and gamers (and can supposedly even be used on a mirror, something that flummoxes an optical mouse). We'll pick one up soon, try it, take it apart and report back if there's anything besides mousing you can do with the laser.
