anyone remember that brief period before led mice got good, where you’d have to SLAM the mouse in a direction to get it to comply?

Rubber mice, that was a given sometimes, but led mice had the same issue for a bit

Yes exactly this, though I’m not sure if it was just a habit from using rubber mice

Not sure I’ve experienced that, early led mouse always seemed to fail to track at the speeds I like to swipe.

It feels more like moving at a snails pace for me, any faster made them lose track

I worked for a computer store in the 90’s. The owner got the contract for all the PC’s in that part of the state in schools. One school was constantly calling about the mice not working. We would show up and start replacement them and those little assholes would be throwing the balls out of them across the room before we finished replacing them. We started using epoxy to seal them in. They would get gummed up bit it wasn’t our problem.

This meme is just wrong

An egg that large is for a trackball.

You need to hard boil a quail’s egg for a mouse.

When you’re right, you’re right.
They’re not cheaper though, due to the relative supply shortages.
