Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer

not too bad at all. v5 of the drivers is rubbish though :/
afte 2 years the silver paint has all but worn through :D

I use the "Intellimouse Optical" which is vertually identical to the explorer except the 4 & 5 buttons are on opposite sides. :)

Using the old v4.12 drivers I can program almost any button to any function. It will also automaticaly change to different game settings when the relevant game is run. :D

I have a "wireless Intellimouse" but it is not verry accurate or responsive for games.

I also use the "Sidewinder Strategic Commander"

http://www.btinternet.com/~the_mouse...idewinder1.gif

It has 6 buttons with 4 programable levels, 2 programable zoom buttons, programable direction & twist functions, 3 seperate programable modes.

Giving a total of approximately 74 programable functions. :eek:

Unfortunately there is vertually no tech support for it. :*(

there are newer drivers? and you're saying this is not possible anymore????:eek: :eek:
the MS drivers are the only reason why i didn't buy a logitech mx700...

anyway, i'm totally happy with my ms explorer 3.0 :D (second already, wasted my first one ;) )

edit: the only thing missing is the possibility to bind keys to wheelup/down :cool:

correct, u cannot bind the mouse buttons to any key with the v5 drivers like u could with the v4 drivers.

you have to choose a function like forwards or backwards etc (internet explorer functions).

it seems like a really stupid udea not to let ppl choose any key they want. :/

this is the mouse I use.. it's very nice..
