    Electric contacts are also affected when in contact with air or other substances, a example u should have noticed are those green spots you see in metal (oxidation) they spread through contacts and affect there high conductivity properties.

    Guess the plastic cover should make perfect sense to you now
    Not really - the plastic 'pin condom' isn't air/water tight, and the whole lead usually comes sealed in a plastic bag as well.

    I have a hologram mouse mat. Works pretty well with ball-mice, but I only use optical.

    You mean like eject buttons on remote controls? yeh they are pointless, but there's something cool about making something over there move, by pressing a button over here.
