    Why would anyone buy mice from a software company? Maybe they should focus more of their energies toward Windows or do they think it's so good or maybe they need the extra revenue to pay for all the lawsuits.

    I <3 my old school M$ Explorer mouse. On all the newer ones the back/forward buttons are really narrow.

    I currently use a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer Version 2 Wireless and it's by far the best mouse I've ever had, used or layed eyes on. The original Intellimouse was also a great piece of kit.

    Logitech mice rest comfortably underneath the contours of my huge ass hand.

    I'm kinda partial to my Logitech MX500, but I also like the MS Intellimouse Explorer v1 and the IBM Optical Navigator. I haven't tried the Intellimouse Explorer v2.

    That's what I thought until I acquired an MS mouse a few years ago. Ever since then, I'll take MS mice and keyboards if I can afford them. They are top notch. Does seem strange though - kinda of an Apple thing to do - confusion over whether to be hardware or software.

    I'm kind of partial to the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 myself. When you have massive hands like mine you appreciate a mouse that accommodates them well. It’s big, it’s comfy and it feels like home :p

    Ms wheel mouse optical here. Haven't tried logitech but thought of triyng their ifeel mouse. I'll wait though till current one breaks. It doesn't look to be doing that anytime soon so it is good quality.

    And doesn't need constant patching. :D;D:crazy:
