Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Customer Review: Just Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
Definately the best mouse for your money. Fits my hand perfectly even if you have medium sized hands. The side buttons do not get in the way and are easy to program for office work or FPS (first person shooters) and MMORPGS. The wheel does make a somewhat loud clacking noise when scrolling but unless you're really paying any attention to it you really won't notice it especially if you're a gamer. The best feature of this mouse is that it eliminates the necessity of having a mouse pad. You can use it on any surface and the pointer will not skip around. So far I've experienced no ghost moving (cord making the mouse move) infact I say the cord for this mouse is perfect. The cord does not make the mouse move on it's own if it's idle.
I would actually give this mouse 4 1/2 stars only because of the clacking mouse wheel but overall I'm very happy with this mouse and I highly recommend this to anyone :)
Customer Review: Replacing my original, and this new one is FANTASTIC.
Summary: 5 Stars
So, my old IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 finally went kaput after 10 years. I don't know why people are saying this mouse is unreliable. Granted, I've only had this new mouse for a few weeks now, but it is like a dream come true. I had tried an IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 to replace my 3.0 (bigger numbers are better, right? WRONG.), and the lack of detents and the elevated thumb buttons were just terrible. The 3.0 is definitely the cream of the crop here. This mouse seems so much better than my old one. The scroll wheel is so firm and clicky. I wonder if my old one was ever like that. Anyway, this new one is a bit lighter, but not by much, so it still has the same solid feel, and the shape of the mouse is perfect. Truly, this is Microsoft's best designed mouse in my opinion.
And hey, if it's anything like my last one, maybe it'll last 10 years, too.
Customer Review: My Favorite Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite mouse of all time. I first got started in computers back when computers had wooden cases, before the mouse. I've had many mouses (mice? meeses? mooses?) since then, and of all of them, this is my favorite. I have large hands and this one fits the way I like. The optical tracking is flawless and responsive, the scroll wheel is well-designed, the side buttons are perfect.
Please, Microsoft, don't ever change this design. I'll buy another one when this one wears out! Which should be *another* ten years: bought my first in '99, and replaced it with this one after the primary click button failed. My old mouse has a worn spot on that button, and permanent cheeto stains on the sides. *sniffle* good times, man, good times.
Get this mouse!
Customer Review: The only product worth my time for writing a review.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best mouse EVER by FAR . I owned the original one and it worked flawlessly for over 5 years(and if someone hadn't cut the cord I would still be using it today). As a responce to the users that are less than absolutly satisfied; I will agree looking at their perspective. Smaller hands may find that pressing the two side buttons by accident is as easy as pressing them intentionally, and the scroll wheel is notched deeper than most. Both of these features are intentional. This is not by any means a particularly big mouse but it may be a good idea to go into a local retail store just to make sure that you are comfortable holding it. If your thumb does not naturally rest on the side buttons then don't think and buy this absolutely superior mouse.Customer Review: Awesome Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is great for gaming and computer use.
I am more accustomed to a slimmer mouse like a MX300 or a Razer Diamondback/Copperhead... But when I heard Microsoft re-released the IE3 a legend of a mouse that was predominantly used by many professional Counterstrike/FPS gamers back in the day I had to give it a try.
It took my hand awhile to get accustomed to, but all I can say is this mouse offers a lot more control and precision than prior mouses I have had.
So if your looking to replace your current mouse or just looking for a new feel, definetly give this a try, you will not be dissapointed.
Definitely worth the money, and looking to buy this AGAIN if I need a new mouse.
