New Microsoft Intellimouse

[tranceporter]

What are they like for day to day comfort? Great for gaming but pretty awful for general use or the dogs danglies all round. Do a bit of gaming but main use is just run of the mill.

Sorry just saw this. They are quite heavy to be honest. They do have detachable round weights which you can remove, but still on the heavier side. If I were to choose again, I would probably go for a run of the mill mouse.

Then again, I am a weirdo who plays Diablo, so I have this:

Any of these then?

Not really, no. Those are either Used, as in not New, or are shipping from Hong Kong. Ok, HK is not the US but I still don't want to have to order from overseas and especially not from the Far East when things may turn out not to be quite what they said they were.

Ok.. How about this?

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0: Microsoft: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

If you click the "4 new from £30" link below the price, you will see another seller selling it for around £35 shipped. Not a bad price.

If you wanna burn a hole in your pocket:

Or wait for Game to stock them:

That's the puppy. Best bloody mouse I've ever used. They are easy to take apart and clean so you should be able to get yours working again. Once you get the case open the wheel pops out easily so you can clean it up and give the innards a going over with some iso-prop. The left hand micro-switch has gone on mine and I've no idea where to get a replacement, and even if I could I'm not sure about the soldering involved in replacing it.

Farnell can probably help with the switch. I'll pull mine apart and give it a clean.

The original intellimouse ?

I have one as well but the wheel is a bit sticky after an accident with some orange juice. Unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued. I couldn't get another but the comfort mouse 6000 is a reasonable replacement.

I used to have a couple of these, brand new and boxed which had been laying around for a while which I sold on eBay a few years ago for £12/£13 each.

Realised after I sold them that I had undervalued them.

My Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 is pretty good.

Arse. My favorite mouse has died. If anyone knows where I can get a New Microsoft Intellimouse 5 Button Optical USB mouse without paying for it to be shipped from the states I would be extremely grateful.
