Microsoft Intellimouse Optical with New Features

[MHG]

I have tried the MS explorer 3.0 and found my hand sliding off
the mouse alot, and the newly aranged thumb buttons difficult to use, previously used a logitech Mouseman wheel Mouse.
I am now using the MS intellimouse Optical 1.1 Special Edition
mouse, the shape takes a little bit of getting used to but it tracks flawlessly and is a little heavier than the regular Intellimouse optical and the Eplorer mouse simular in weight to the logitech.

My System:
P4 1.6A @ 2.133Ghz. 133FSB /conservative
Asus P4S533 M.B. (SiS 645DX Chipset)
OCSystem 512 MB. True Speed DDR-400Mhz.Ram
Leadtek AD 250 TD Geforce 4 Ti-4400 Which runs nicely @ 300/650Mhz.
Maxtor 80 Gig. 7200 RPM ATA-133 H.D.
Yamaha CRW-3200 CDRW
Lite-On 163 16X DVD
Digital Doc 5
SuperFlower Black Aluminum/Magnesium Case with 6 case fans stock.
Antec TruePower 430 Watt P.S.
IBM P97 Stealth 19 inch CRT Monitor
Logitech Z-560 4.1 Speakers
Belkin 1200 V/A UPS
MS Intellimouse 1.1 Special Edition
Windows XP Professional

Since Intels price drops I am upgrading to the 2.53Ghz.

The surface is "more slippery" until you get used to it. I love mine now. Cussed it at first though.

Yeah the first week, I hated the optical mouse. I almost returned it, especially since I was having a really hard time playing games with it. I kept messing with the settings, and well NOW I Love it. :D
It is sooo much better than a mouse ball, you just have to find the right settings and you'll be set!!!:laugh:

I felt the same exact way...then i installed the cd and i own in games and threw away my mouse pad...now it just sits on the table its much much smoother and don't have to worry about dirty mice and a lil wheel breaking on you. its sweet

I have 3 of the white 5 buttons, and I cant wait to pick up a special edition. That mouse really turns my cranks!

I wish i could get a mouse exaclty like it but with like ten buttons!! Bring on the buttons baby!
