BlueTrack is the next generation of Laser tracking fellas... Unlike normal laser mice, this mice can track on Glass and Marble. 
Oh, and no, there are only 2 mice so far with BlueTrack tech - Microsoft's X8 and the Intellimouse Explorer something if not mistaken...
BlueTrack its Optical (BlueLight) not Laser. Oh, and no, there are only 2 mice so far with BlueTrack tech - Microsoft's X8 and the Intellimouse Explorer something if not mistaken... Blue Specular Optics
Microsoft’s proprietary high-angle imaging optics generate more exact surface images — even of shiny surfaces such as granite and marble — instead of blurry, out-of-focus images, as can be produced by many of the leading laser mice. And blue light helps create high-resolution, high-contrast images for better navigation.
Four Times as Wide, More Diffuse Beam for Better Imaging and Tracking
The wider beam enables illumination of a larger surface area and allows more light to return to the sensor. This helps for tracking on irregular surfaces such as carpet, where smaller laser beams often get lost between the individual fibers. The BlueTrack Technology light source is optimized to provide illumination at the tracking surface that is more uniform than current laser or optical mice. This illumination is accomplished by using a new optical element, never before used in a mouse. The light source is encapsulated in a diffusing optic that smoothes out hot spots within the illumination profile. While the concept of diffused lighting is well known, the application of diffused light sources to mice is a Microsoft proprietary technology.
Incoherent Blue Light
Laser mice use coherent light that’s easily disrupted by dust and dirt, leading to poor tracking. The Explorer Mouse and Explorer Mini Mouse’s incoherent blue light doesn’t have the extreme sensitivity to dust, so the signal quality is maintained. This means your mouse will provide excellent performance even in a less than clean environment — you’ll get great precision performance in a dusty workshop or outdoors just as you do on an ideal clean surface.
Q: Why is a Blue LED light better than a red one or a laser? How does its DPI compare to other mice technologies?
A: Blue light allows the sensor to capture a high-contrast image of the surface. For example, the blue light beneficially interacts with fluorescent dyes in some surfaces to increase the amount of reflected light relative to an infrared laser beam. The physics is similar to that of the “blue light” used in crime-scene TV shows to examine surfaces for police investigations.

Another shit or maybe the advantage of the DISADVANTAGES .. the mouse punk cannot be used under 2.0 USB port means you cannot plug in any G15, Reclusa, Sidewinder keyboard because is high energy supply.
Its normal that a high performance gaming mice to plug-in direct to yer pc due power-consumption as even my old DiamondBack Plasma LE has issue power it up if i don't direct plug into my pc.Not to sure what u said abt "the mouse puck cannot be used under 2.0 USB port means you cannot plug in any G15, Reclusa, Sidewinder keyboard".
Is it you meant that can't be use on USB 1.1 ports?..
Btw, its "puck" (as it looks like a ice hockey puck) not "punk"...
Cheers

The X8 has one advantage - Get a 3200mAh Super-Duty alkaline battery for heavy weight, get a cheapo Tesco battery for light weight. Hey, it's weight adjustable just like the original Sidewinder!
