[Dont Mention the War]

What! No mention of the best mouse that Microsoft Hardware ever sold. The Microsoft Intellimouse Pro!

A late 1990s design which Microsoft 'appropriated' from another company's mouse design, I believe it was Goldtouch, Inc. It has the best ergonomics, weight and feel for a ball mouse. The mouse is for right-handers only, with a superior sloped-to-the-right shape, two buttons and a very good tactile feedback mouse wheel.

I found a second one on E-Bay for $37, it was a steel. I have seen unopened, new in box models go for $150+ on Ebay.

I would love to convert one to current optical style while still retaining all physical components and weight.

Just a great mouse.

Say it is SO... Apple announces multi-button mouse... PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

My husband's first question, "Is it Windows-compatible?" Looks pretty cool!

I have the older mouse but my iBook is out and in use so often that I just use the trackpad. I'm a righty anyways when it comes to mousing and of course the USB ports is on the LEFT of the laptop - so using the mouse can be awkward.

It did take a while to adjust to not having a right-click but that too is like second nature now. I like the single-button but I want to hit the Apple store and try this one out.

Apple celebrates doing something everyone else did 20 years ago? No wonder they are at a 5% market penetration.

I want one now.

I just replaced my 1996 G3 with a brand new, G5. It has the Apple Pro Mouse (laser).

Interesting enough, I've also been learning to do everything without a mouse because my son has vision problems and often can't find the pointer. He can move through the keystrokes almost as fast as most folks scroll with a mouse.... It's all what you learn.
