I think my favorite Intellimouse 3.0A has finally decided to retire, after a solid run. I loved the little guy and wish it would have made it longer, but it has having some really strange issues, with response and clicking. It has become a very annoying problem and can not stand it any longer. I have tried reinstalling the device and even reformating windows, tried a standard mouse with scroll in the Ps/2 port and it works fine.

So here we go, I loved the way it feels and the placement of the buttons, so what do you think the best mouse for me would be. I saw the 4.0a version but I do not like the firmness of the wheel. I like the wheels that have a click to them rather than that smoothness. I also loved the forward and back buttons, and it must be wired. I see the MX510, and I thought it feeled ok, but is there something even more similar to the 3.0A?
 
Ah hell, I am getting the run around on Microsoft's site and you have to call long distance for the "free" support. Plus I dont have my proof of purchase anymore :(
 
I think the warranty on those things are 5 years. I don't know if the proof of purchase matters, I think MS asks that you send them the mouse back and they get a new one out to you. Haven't done it myself, only heard of people who have dealt with MS about this.

Could always just buy a new Intellimouse 3.0 I guess. If you can't find one, the Intellimouse 4.0 is pretty good.
 
I don't really see a place to contact with them without paying long distance on the telephone. I try to do the e-mail support and I get stuck on the select your product page as it only has Microsoft Software listed :rolleyes:
 
Nah, that's not the one we're talking about (I think).

Intellimouse Optical 3.0.
 
Does anyone know if MS will replace an Intelemouse Explorer (orriginal) that has a cable witha loose connection in it?

I've got one and I replaced it with a trackball explorer. I fixed it for now by pushing the cable up inside the mouse but i'm sure that won't hold out forever ( I carry it around in my laptop bag). Heck, the warrantee is probably void as soon as you crack it open though. LOL!
 
Yea the version I am talking about is the Intellimouse Optical Version 3.0a, it has 5 buttons and only came in black and silver.
 
Well decided to move on to the MX510, and I am pretty happy so far, I like the quick switch button and I use the two scroll buttons for min and max. My mouse feet on my 3.0A were worn down so this new mouse seems to glide. Ah well, I hope I enjoy this one as much as I did my 3.0a, but I think nothing will ever match it in comfort
