Product Description
MICROSOFT Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer Platinum -- IntelliMouse Explorer throws out all the old, mechanical technology used in current mice. High-performance optical technology - no mouse ball. IntelliMouse Explorer uses a new optical sensor calledIntelliEye. This sensor scans the surface beneath the mouse 1,500 times per second to accurately and crisply track the smallest motion. It works on hundreds of surfaces (i.e., no mouse pad required) and stays precise because there are no moving parts to wear out or stick. No moving parts - replacing the mouse ball with an optical sensor means there are no moving parts to collect dirt, dust and grime, and no ball to be cleaned. 5 programmable buttons Batteries last up to 6 months For PC running Windows 98SE+
Customer Reviews:
Best mouse ever. Worst mouse ever........2007-12-02
Let me start out by saying this is the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.
But as other reviewers have said, the left button gives out after a certain period of time (anywhere from 6 to 18 months). I'm on my third one, and luckily Microsoft has been very nice about issuing free replacements... the latest one was a few months out of warrantee, but they sent it to me anyway, saying this would be my last free replacement.
Of course, recently, like clockwork, my left mouse button has started to become less and less responsive. I'm going to call Microsoft up on Monday and see if they can do anything for me, but if not, I'm going to have to look elsewhere... probably Logitech. Their MX 400 mouse seems to have a similar design, so I'll try out that one.
It's really a shame that Microsoft can't simply correct the problem with this mouse.
Edit 12/2/07: I called Microsoft, and they said they would, in fact, send me another one at no cost. I have to give them credit for their customer service, especially since my original purchase is well out of warrantee.
In the meantime, since the replacement is on backorder, I did purchase the Logitech MX 400, which does feel similar to the Microsoft Mouse, and according to the Amazon review of that mouse, does not seem to be plagued with the reliability issues of this one. I'd urge you to check that one out.
Left Click Problem.......2007-11-10
This is a wonderful mouse in so many aspects... great ergonomics, very smooth scroll wheel and all the needed buttons -- except for one very serious flaw. The left mouse click button only lasts for about a year in normal use. I've had two of these mice and the same problem sent each of them headed to the landfill. Other reviewers have had the same problem. It's a shame that Microsoft hasn't owned up to the problem and offered an exchange program. They designed a great product, but the quality of construction just doesn't do this product justice.
A piece of junk. microsoft should stick to selling Windows.......2007-11-05
I bought the intellimouse explorer 4.0 and the left mouse button began malfunctioning about two months after I got it. By malfunctioning I mean it taks 4 or 5 clicks to accomplish what should only need one or two clicks. If you want a great mouse, I would go with Logitech. My favorite is the Logitech G3. I have to admit that it is a little pricey.....but at least the damn thing works. Microsoft should stick to selling software.
Smooth scrolling is here to stay.......2007-10-23
Having tried a wide spectrum of mice, this is the one that is demonstrably (ergonomically) head and shoulders superior to the rest. The smooth scroll is completely natural, amazing how smoothly and imperceptibly I can scroll through pdfs, webpages and such.. (the days of specifying is a scrollwheel click 3, 5 or ooh 6 lines are long gone). The buttons on the side are quite handy and can be mapped to any percievable action/keystroke (page up/page down for instance). The only ergonomic peeve I have is that the mouse is on the large side, mostly everything these days is available in various sizes... why not mice? I dont find the horizontal scroll with the tilt action useful; that said, it would be very welcome if the driver allowed the tilt click to be re-mapped to actions like backward and forward webpage functions. Eventhough everything else is customizable, the driver does not allow re-mapping the tilt click , such a bummer.. I just hope maybe there's a registry hack somewhere :). Thats also why I took off a star.
Excellent USB Mouse, lots of features........2007-10-19
