I used to have one like those BW, I loved it I really liked all the buttons it had on side (handy for web browsing). Got rid of it coz I kinda like the Trackball mouses more. I now have the Logitech Trackball and so far it rox.

I've been using mine for over a year now. It's one of the first optice mice that became available:

I used the MS intelimouse explorer for about a year excelent mouse.....

I have changed to a Logitech wireless desktop kit which includes a wireless opticle mouse has all the benifits of optical and no wires....

you can buy the mouse seperatly if you want.

I have the same one that BW owns...

I have both the older model and the newer model (2 buttons on one side vs. 1 button at each side) (got them for free from Microsoft)

I must say, they are excellent producnts.. and mine came with 5yr warranty.

Quite easy to install, you don't even need to install the drivers, they already in winxp... (you can assign them if u want more options to using ur mouse)

I mainly use it for the scroll features and the back/forward feature for browsing

I have the MS intellipoint and have had no bother with it, its a great mouse!! http://www.microsoft.com/catalog/display.a...=11139&x=68&y=8

I am using the Trackball, in fact I have 3 of them. One of the best features is that you do not move you hand at all just your fingers. This takes some getting use to but once you got it any other is a real discomfort to use.

i have ms's wheelmouse optical. only complaint: it seems a bit harder to click than its prdecessor. other than that, no probs.

I dont like those big fat mouse's, tricky to get all over it

[FthrJACK]

ms intellimouse is a good mouse but some people find it a bit big.
i have a Logitec, forget which model as they do a few. its smaller and fits in your hand, but personaly i wish i had got the ms intellimouse as i prefer it. just depends on your hand, go in a local comet , dixons, best buy or whatever and hold a few
you should expect to pay about £25 - £35 for something decent

[Jay_Stealth]

heh! i have this mouse http://www.microsoft...use/io_info.asp courtesy of fthrjack and its the best, i wouldnt swap it
cheers bro

one pound is about $1.60 - $1.75
and at about $25, i say your mouse was a pretty good deal

Thanks for all the recommendations everybody. I picked up an Intellimouse clone made by Kensington, because it doesn't feel quite as bloated, and it had the extra buttons the Logitech mouse didn't. I think functionality was a fair compromise for how ugly this thing looks. ( picture here http://kensington.co..._mic_d1463.html :)

[FthrJACK]

that dont look ugly.....
nice mouse

[piece of cake]

Nah. It doesn't look anywhere near as cool as in the promotional propaganda. But it's one vicious piece of hardware...for a mouse.

Glad to see that you found something you like. For some reason that seems to be hard to do these days.........

nice colors ;-)
