@graphite like air mice? Probably because most people use their computers on a desk.

@writeblankspace@shonk.social mice that use an accelerometer (movement sensor) instead of an optical sensor

@graphite possibly it's hard to make them sensitive/responsive enough to be pleasant to use while also rejecting tiny vibrations?
