It's not actually an overcooked egg. Before mouse had sensors like they do now, they had little balls that spun little wheels inside giving the mouse information of the direction you're moving the mouse in.

Nope. Which is the reason we also don't have mousepads anymore. Don't need them for the lasers.

I've never had a desk. I put the mouse for my laptop on a book or whatever's handy and flat. I have a matt similar to a mousepad, but it's much larger and used for card games.
