basic mice

My Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 (non-tilt scroll wheel) mouse failed after less than one year's use. Don't bother to look for any warranty info on these products. I figured I'd look for the newest and best so I bought this one. As another user said, this is the 4.0 Intellimouse -- says so on the bottom of the mouse. Warning - the software will not install on Windows 98SE! This mouse works with my old Intellimouse software but NOT the tilt wheel and the scroll wheel is now sloppy and irritating to use. (Well, what do you expect -- it's not made for this OS.) This mouse looks more compact but both Intellimice are too large for my thumb to comfortably reach the small thumb button. What can I say? I'm looking for a different brand of mouse.

This is probably the best mouse out there. With no need for batteries this mouse is not just comfortable and beautiful, he's 5 buttons are really great. The position of the thumb buttons are in the right spot and the new Tilt-Wheel is very useful. I had the old version of this mouse and I just can't keep my hands of this one!!!
This mouse is a must have and the logitech guys should learn something from this mouse.

I had the older version of this mouse and it worked fine for years. I would have purchased an identical mouse, but could only find this "new and improved" model. It requires version 5.0 of the Intellipoint software. Installing that softwares removed the TrackPoint software on my IBM ThinkPad X30 laptop and disabled some of the TrackPoint functions.

After consulting with an IBM service technician, I found that the only solution was to return the mouse and try to find the older model. Thank goodness for the system restore feature of Windows XP.
