and went down to WalMart and just picked up a Logitech Mouseman Wheel Optical.

This thing rocks. Plus the ass end on it glows blue instead of that bright red that kept me up at night. This mouse is sweet. :D

Anyone want some smashed pieces of a Intellimouse? :Q

<Edit!>

Pictures taken with my scanner

I might do that myself(minus the smashing, though less fun :(), or go for a MS Optical

I have an Intellimouse Explorer that has a loose wire somewhere because it would intermitantly work/not work depending on which direction i was moving it. Then it stopped working alltogether. Now I have a MS Optical Wheel Mouse and the Logitech Cordless Mouse that was on sale at Staples last week.

I had problems with my intellimouse so I brought it back to best buy. The new mouse works like a charm!!!!!!!

You're forgiven for smashing it with a hammer if you like animals and hate mean things.

BTW,

All your smashed mice are belong to us

I would have liked a R.B.Slang, but Wally World didn't have one. I need a 24hr computer store.

Sorry the pics suck. The thing was a biznitch to keep crammed in the scanner. Note the lack of damage to the outter shell, but extensive damage to the PCB. :D Microsoft will be getting this piece of crap back, mark my words...

I've got a Dexxa optical. It looks like the Intellimouse Optical. Pretty cheap. Doesn't require a hammer to operate, either...

What kind of hammer did you use? An inflatable one? :p

If you're going to smash that mouse, smash it! :|

Looks like you disassembled it to me, not smashed.

Maybe he was taking it apart, broke off the left button microswitch (the only apparant damage), and this is his cover story. :)

leave it on the scanner, smash it for real, and scan at the same time so we get a nice pretty picture;)
