I bought one of these things over 6 years ago and the left mouse button is just now starting to die on me. I've tried the new IntelliMouse Explorer's and hate the big chunk of plastic right between the right and left mouse buttons that’s used for the tilt wheel (I also cant stand Logitech mice, so don’t ask).

Is there any chance of getting a new IntelliMouse Explorer Optical 1.0? It’s a right hand only, 5 button, wireless, optical, scroll (not tilt) wheel mouse.

The only place I've been able to find one is at Surplus Computers, but their Reseller Rating absolutely sucks...
 
Ebay? FS/FT forum? I dunno...

I had one of those and it lasted for a good 3 years before I had to replace it. The newer tech is SO much better than the tech in that mouse. Not even close, man. lol

But hey... personal preference, right? ;)
 
Lasermouses sucks. They are so fucking bad that its sick.

Try getting the MS 1.1? Thats, if I recall, is identical to the 1.0, but not sure at all.

Wich 'new' Explorer did you try? 3.0? 4.0?
 
Well, I've 'fixed' mine...I kitbashed a new IntellaMouse Explorer with the shell from my old one.

I'm surprised how different the internals are between these things, thank god the new internals still fit inside the old mouses shell. It took allot of doing to get the buttons on the old shell to line up with their positions on the new PCB, not to mention the tilt wheel is now locked upright (no big loss there, though).

Unless you look at the underside, which is the hacked up bottom section from the new mouse (batteries and LED in new places), it looks and feels like a stock IntellaMouse Explorer 1.0 :D
