Heres my review on MS new mouse, the IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 incase anyone is looking to get a new mouse soon:
I've been using the MS IntelliMouse Explorer, 3.0 since I've been on the computer.. I've went through 3 of them because they break after about a year, left button starts to stick down and scoller gets hard to scroll... but it's the best damn mouse I've ever used..onto my review.
I went to best buy the other night to pick up another new mouse because mine is going to crap again, but Now MS came out with there IntelliMouse 4.0 with there cool new feature 'Tilt wheel' that will let you scroll side to side. This is nice and all (sarcasim), but they made the scroller so soft playing a game, browsing a webpage, scrolling through a list of files is ANNOYING. You cannot change guns on the fly anymore and sometimes it moves to much or dosen't move at all.. You cannot feel thoes clicks anymore and the scroller is like gel (do people really get blisters on there hands from there mouse?). I tried playing delta force with it and gave up after a few minutes.. I switch weapons often with the scroller and like I said before, over scrolls or does not at all. With the old one I click it back twice it's at the knife, up twice it's at the gun again.. Makes this is BIG pain..
end review.. my rant..
So I take it back to best buy for a refund and start looking for my old mouse, didn't find it so I come home, maybe i'll find it online.. Items been discontinued
. I did happen to find a place that had 1 left in stock, it should be here soon.. Now I gotta find another place and order an extra or 2 for when this one breaks, but it's worth it. I don't like logitec, no wireless crap, and no special buttons all over the place..
What am I gonna do in 2 years when I cant find a decent mouse anymore that dosen't want to control my whole house?
This is prolly alot to talk about just for a mouse, but it's one of thoes things that's not very easy to change.. Anyone else find stuff like this annoying?
