I don't game much and when I do, I don't play UT. Just give a normal answer, please. I'm genuinely curious.

I find it very fast to scroll around multiple screens and I don't have to move my arm, only my fingers and thumb.

A lot of cheap USB 1.1 mice need that (which is why is defined as a standard quirk), polling once every 60 seconds does not consume significant amounts of power since the USB port is powering the whole mouse already anyway.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought they meant polling e.g. 125 times a second.
