Its days are numbered...apparently

I think it will go in a few years time, everything in technology gets replaced eventually.

Not if it performs a basic practical function it won't, the mouse will certainly change (as it did from having a ball to an optical sensor and then to going wireless, and now integrated into a Nintendo Will pointer) but it's still here after nearly 40 years for a reason - it works and it's cheap.

Also Microsoft have reintroduced at least one model of mouse which was popular with gamers. Say what you like about their OS, their hardware is a dream - I've got two wired ball Intellimice that still work, and bought a Wheel Mouse optical for just over a tenner last month.
