Then Mouse Distance Measurer is what you need!

What's New
Version 5.1-2147483648d-2147483648: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
Be the first to recommend a similar software title.
Let's see now, the addition of Russian and Spanish localizations enable this developer to post this overpriced POS as an updated version, Good thinking, dude..... a way to get extra exposure on MacUpdate. Not that the extra exposure is gonna engender buying interest.
Not that anyone in their right mind would want to buy Mouse Distance Measurer, and at$20 no less.
Does anyone really give a rat's pizzle how far their mouse travels? Is anyone willing to pay $20 to find out?
15 Euros(20 Dollars US) for THIS??!!! OMG!!!!! FOR WHAT???
It's a very simple app of very limited use, and of no value whatsoever to most folks..............this commenter now schleps off into the morning sun in utter amazement and disbelief.
......and I notice that after others bitched and moaned about the price and limited use of this puppy some time back, the developer lowered the price to 5 Dollars US, but it's now back to it's original absurd price; oh yeah, that makes a whole lotta sense.....I think I'll go lie down now.

This is a great app for what it does. Actually has a practical use as a way to demonstrate to others (like a company) how much mouse activity you have compared to others. Documenting the source of your repetitive stress injuries can be worth a whole lot more than $5 in the long run.
Justify your company charge of a $120 trackball or the purchase of more ergonomic furniture ... who knows.
It does what it says and does it well. Griping about $5 for X hours of a programmer's time is just unfair if that's your only criticism. Keep encouraging developers for their work!

well actually, the complain here has seemed to reduce the price from $20 to $5 (between the march posts and may). So yes the democratic way and capitalistic markets combined with free speech have lead to change. Keep up the revolution. But more importantly, keep up the developing.

Dear god. It's a cute little toy and all, but upon launching it warned me that it'll disable itself if I don't pay for it. So I clicked through to their shop.
FIFTEEN EUROS.
For those of you who can't/won't figure the exchange out, that's currently 20 USD.
That's the most absurd thing I've heard in my life.

What a bunch of nimrods!
It does EXACTLY what it claims to: tell you how far your mouse has moved.
It's not rocket science. It's not even a measuring tool. It's a silly little whatsit to satisfy the curiosity of those who wonder how much mileage their mouse has covered.
It's goal is so small that it can't help but do an excellent job!
Now CHARGING for it is another matter. There's absolutely no reason to pay for this!
I wouldn't have picked a microslough mouse as icon either, but since i use one, i won't complain.
This thing doesn't even do what the developer claims it can do. I don't see any way to measure the distance in a week, or a year. What, am I supposed to wait a year to find that out? I thought that it would predict that amount. Seriously, why do people make this kind of software and then charge for it?

This is rediculous. I wanted something that would measure something in pixels, and this only uses inches and centimeters! Pixels can actually be used! And to add the fact that you have to pay for this! That's like having to pay for toilet paper in a public restroom!
