ActiveWin.com: Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer (Wired) - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
I have posted my review of this year's current version of the IntelliMouse Explorer. Here is an excerpt: The Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer is not available in the variety of colors/texture that the Wireless version offers. The mouse is also about the same size as previous models, sizing up at 3 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and an inch high. The mouse has a silver finish around the top, with a sleek black design on the bottom. The black has a very "tech" feel, it is very subtle and appeasing to look at. As you can see in the image below, there is a nice silver Microsoft "Optical Technology" logo on the front of the mouse. It seems Microsoft has cut away from the red translucent plastic bottoms which used to be on older models. | ||

Must admit it looks quite nice, I currently use an Intellimouse Optical, with the 5 buttons. Ive always liked it very much.
The only things I didnt like about the previous explorer were: - The 2 side buttons were both on the left of the mouse - The damn thing was too big (high) Looks like they havent fixed either of my gripes! Oh well..... |

"up to six months for some users"
I think this phrase was copied & pasted from the review of the wireless model, where it referred to the battery life. For the wired version, it makes no sense because there is no battery involved. |

| Anyway, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=003 Feature List, "Longer Battery Life" I can't help it I received a rare Wired version that requires batteries :-) |

| #3, I have used that mouse for years. I never had the problem of accidentally pressing the side buttons. You should stop drinking so much coffee! |
