OK, call me slow and all to adopt.

I thought, who cares about cleaning the damn thing. That's never been anything I can't manage.

But this baby is just SMOOTH! And the weel is really silk. Very different from an old style wheel mouse, which is what I had been perfectly happy with.

And the on mouse back and forward buttons are just -- NICE.

Love it. Got it for a steal. About time, I guess.

 
Welcome to the optical world. I never thought I'd love mine as much as I do, but I'll never go back.

I have the cheap $30 Optical Wheelmouse from Logitech, but it suits my needs perfectly. That & a Surface 1030 pad, & I love my mousing experience.

awesome isn't it? my only prob with them is that it skips sometimes when i play games and flicking the wrist, but i just turned on acceleration.
 
Yeah I wanna pick up another one of these for my other system. Despite all they crap they get I still like them.
 
Yes Xerox invented the mouse in 1970 if my memory serves me.
I too love my intellimouse explorer especially the new "faster" ones. I noticed a big differnce withteh faster sampling. These mice kick.
 
Also consider trying the logitech optical wheel. 25 bux at worst buy, great deal if you can live without the two extra buttons.
 
Two questions.
Where can i get a ratpad?
How much better are new explorers(faster sampling) then originals? I have a original.
Thanks in advance.
 
welcome to the club dougjnn.

I got my first one and the red light died. got a replacement from microsoft and it's all smooth now. what's this faster ones that you guys are talking about ? and i would love to get one of those mousepads. know where to get them ?
 
Congratulations & welcome to the club! I love my MS Intellimouse explorer & Internet keyboard pro.
 
I have a MS Trackball Explorer. It's like the Intellimouse Explorer but flipped upside down and with a big ball on top. 😉 I'm a trackball kinda guy so...

Internet Keyboard Pro too. Can't get used to that split egronomic design.
 
ive heard that the optical mice work like crap on ratzpadz cuz of the dark surface? is this bad information or are there problems associated with it?
 
I want to get myself an optical Intellimouse (regular) but just can't bring myself to plop down money for a mouse that's going to replace one that works perfectly. I'd rather buy more RAM. 🙂
