hey guys... i recently bought a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 USB
(pics: http://images.google.com/images?q=m...f&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-40,GGLD:en&start=20&sa=N)
however, the middle mouse click (wheel click) only seems to work about 5% of the time... it doesn't NOT work... it's just very inconsistent. also, the way the wheel 'smooth scrolls' is a bit annoying in FPSes... i prefer the clicky wheels to jump up or down 'one scroll' to switch weaps.
anyway... after doing a nit of research, i see that the buttons on this mouse apparently fail pretty regularly, so i think i'll be returning it today.
i want a new wired optical... it can be ps2 or usb... tilt wheel is pretty whatever... i didn't use that feature on this one once, but i do like the two little thumb side buttons. i guess having one on each side of the mouse would be okay, but having two button over on the left side is preferrable. one other thing is cost... i don't want to spend 100 dollars or anything ridiculous. 50 is pushing it... this one i'm returning was on sale for 35, and bought it on impulse.
thanks for any recommendations...
