In an announcement today on the Windows Blog, Microsoft is bringing back the Classic IntelliMouse. Originally launched in 1996, this new version is based upon the 2003 IntelliMouse, which was the last model in the lineup. To go along with the announcement, Microsoft has released a fantastic Rube Goldberg machine video unveiling the mouse.
Check out the video.
I'm a sucker for Rube Goldberg machines, the video reminds me of the Honda "Cog" ad from 2003. Hopefully this one went the same route and used no CGI. Oh right the mouse. Looks like an intellimouse. Shame it doesn't appear to have DPI adjustment or any mention of some macro software to go with it.
We improved two really important factors, the tracking sensor and the tactility and feel of the buttons. What we know our fans will see and feel is that it’s the exact same shape and size of the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 from 2003. However, underneath the hood it’s all brand-new technology, brand new mechanical engineering and brand-new structures so it’s a lot more rigid than the original. The build quality is really excellent.
We were really careful to keep the same Omron switches for the left and right click, and have added three Kailh switches for the middle wheel button and side buttons. We also made a huge improvement to the two side buttons. They now feel snappy and crisp and have just the right force and click to them.
MX310 mouseLogitech needs to do this for the G5
I wore out one of those playing Diablo2. Ahh, the memories and carpal pain.
That's what you get when you put someone in charge that only cares about quick money now.I have it. Mine has a blue backlight instead of the old red.
I dont recommend the mouse. The side rubber starts peeling after being in contact with your thumb.

Day one purchase if its as light as the original.
The only thing I've never complained about with Microsoft are the hardware purchases. The mouse and the Precision Pro joystick have been amazingly durable and work after 15+ years of punishment (which is unheard of with joysticks).
Have you tried out Corsair M65? Mine reminds me of the sidewinder but feels like it's made of cast iron.
I hope they revive the Sidewinder gaming series.
can they re-release the intellimouse optical, ambidextrous?
I have like 8 of them, but most, I think, at chinese knockoffs. Its the only mouse I have been able to use and been using them since like 2000-2001. Being a southpaw sucks for mouse selection. Still have one in the retail package I bought probably in 2002 and still have at least 2 kicking around that are at least 10+ years old.

God I wish. The DPI on those is just too low for modern displays now. It had a great shape and feel. I'd buy a re-release in a heartbeat.can they re-release the intellimouse optical, ambidextrous?

I have a difficult time understanding people who refuse to pay for things that make their activities so much easier and often, more enjoyable. Is this some kind of self hate, or self punishment? I mean, we spend many hundreds (often thousands) on our rigs, but $40 is too much for a mouse that we will use every day for years?I loved that mouse but at $40 they get to keep them

My OG 1996 intelimouse explorer burned up in a house fire last weekend I had given it to my nephew and his whole system went up in flames along with the whole office.
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll include some sort of data harvesting telemetry in the driverWhat could Microsoft learn from a product that no-one hates?
