The
choice of mice is huge in this day and age. It wasn’t that
long ago when it was either a 2 button of a 3 button. now
there is everything any one can think of with any
combination of features, next thing you know you’ll be
offered a mouse which doesn’t need to be on the desk and has
a 1001 buttons, almost like the glove in the big hit movie
“Minority Report.”

Ever
since Microsoft got into the hardware business, in my view
there mice have been the best of the best, and this time
they have come up with a beauty. This being the cordless
version of the very popular intelli Explorer. |

They
couldn’t have made it a better shape; your hand just fits
almost like a glove. with its two extra buttons not to close
to you thumb that you keep hitting them, but not to far away
to its a hassle to use them, with the added fact that it is
cordless you can have you mouse where ever you want without
the constant pull of the cord restricting your movements.
this is perfect for any first person shooter! |

With 5
buttons, all completely programmable this mouse is the god
of the mice! I personally use the two extra side buttons for
double clicking and opening the start menu, and once you get
used to using them, going back to a normally 2-3 button
mouse is like going from a Audi TT to a Nova! All the
buttons are very responsive an easy to click, but yet not
easily click-able by accident. It sounds a bit of a
contradiction, but it works so well! And the scroll wheel is
the most responsive wheel I’ve used!
If you
have ever had an optical mouse you will know that you never
have any problems what so ever with the mouse not moving
where you want it to. as it doesn’t have a ball and rollers
the rollers never get dirty and slick, and as you don’t need
a mouse mat, it never gets dirty or greasy so the ball never
slips. The mouse is always responsive and always goes where
it is told to go. The only downside to this mouse is that
there is a tiny lag because it is cordless, but it is so
small you only notice it when you first use it, and after
that you don’t notice it, the fact that the mouse is also
heavy adds to this, but you also become accustomed to that.
