I know one thing: I'm not up tomorrow! 
Let's see if you can get this one, shall we?
Every morning, my attending man discards receptacle to resolve mixed feelings. (10)

I'm ambivalent about this one

Well, you are up tomorrow regardless
Care to explain for the others?

Morning = Am
discards = bin
attending man = valet,
Resolve = anagram indicator
Ambivalent is to have mixed feelings.

Hello!
Welcome aboard.
You can change your username to something more "individual" than "Member 15510360" very easily if you want - and make yourself more recognisable as well.
Just hover the mouse over your username in the top right of the page, and select "My Settings" from the drop down.
Under the "Account" tab, is "Your Display Name" - "Jacqueline" is taken, but there are many other combinations you can try!
Press "Save my Settings" and your new name is yours.

Or were old rollerball mice (where the ball was under the mouse) far better, in a way, than modern laser mice? I remember long ago I could set mouse acceleration and speed so the mouse was far more responsive and intuitive than modern laser mice, or at least the mice I have had. Small, short movements, resulted in small, precise screen movements, whereas larger movements resulted in larger screen movements, but slowing down quickly brought back precision.
I have been using Logitech almost exclusively throughout the years, and those old memories haunt me, reminding me of older, better times, when our world wasn't split along the divides it is now.
On the other hand, I remember having to clean them regularly...
Is my memory going bad? I would go back to those old mouse memories in spite of the cleaning problems, if it gave me back the precision I remember...

By my (rather hazy) recollection, drivers in the ball mouse era allowed lots of tweaks of acceleration profiles and so on, which seem to now be buried in a "one size fits all" profile. Nowadays you seem to get a raw speed setting, and a double click time if you're lucky.
...and yes, cleaning was a regular PITA.
Cheers,

most gaming mouse have custom DPI settings.
and also, windows has build-in "mouse acceleration" but not a fan of it, because it doesn't help the desktop experience much, but ruins gaming experience...

I am not much of a gamer. I still use Logitech, but my current M510 has speed and acceleration settings built in (although not DPI settings), and it isn't nearly as nice to use as my old rollerball ones used to be...  (and :cry: ) (And, if I recall correctly, they also only had acceleration and speed settings. The 'momentum' must have been the additional factor???)

It might just be that the build quality of Logitech mice has become worse.
I used to own a G5, first generation laser mouse, and it was perfect.
Then I broke it, and bought a second generation one, G500 rebrand.
The build quality was noticeably worse, but still OK.
Then it broke on me, and I bought a third generation one, G510 rebrand. This time. the wire was made from a very cheap material, it had swappable weights as a gimmick, and it practically disintegrated on it's own within 5 months.
After that, I noticed that SteelSeries did a cheap nock-off version of the G5, so I moved on to the Rival 300 and I've been using that one ever since. I recently looked into buying a second Rival 300 for the office, but they discontinued the entire line, in favor of more gimmicks, overall lower build quality.. at double the price. And their latest drivers have ads, and break macro support entirely.
To me, it seems like every peripheral company likes to release strong products initially, but will then cut costs aggressively for all subsequent generations. As a result, my next mouse will probably be a non-descript Chinese brand, that can present a compelling bill-of-materials and a friendly customer service by means of auto-translated responses.
It might read bad on paper, but at least China is giving me quality at an agreeable price point. Logitech nowadays is like buying sub-par quality and gimmicks at a premium price point, or garbage quality at an economic price point. Neither option compels me.

I've had good luck with the Razer brand mice.
