Let me guess - one permanently docked to a PC acting as an internet gateway,
the other sitting on your desk next to said PC, taken around the house or
wherever?

I've just noticed that one. I personally prefer matt black or silver, natch.

I've just spraypainted an old beige 2-button mouse black - now it matches my
HP 700LX. Now where did I put those connectors...
FYI, the mouse was a noname, FCC ID IOWCM-290F. IDs as being made by "Chic
Technology, Taipei, Taiwan". But it works and the parts are reasonably
standard.

Later.
