#2I really loved these - they push out quite far from the desk into your palm which makes for a more natural curve than today's flatter mouses (like the Surface mouse and Apple's blueooth mouse) - but I wish they added Bluetooth to the new model.

#3I prefer the so called Microsoft "Comfort Mouse 3000 for Business".
Really clean looks, simple, no extra buttons that I never use.

#4This is great, but I really wish they'd bring back the "Wheel Mouse Optical" - it is symmetric which is good if you're ambidextrous or share with left handers, and more importantly it doesn't have those annoying side buttons.
Still I'm glad Microsoft realised there was a lot of demand for this.

#5I really wish they'd bring out an update to their Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 [0] instead. Even if it's the exact same mouse, just with a nano receiver rather than the old, giant receiver.
The supposed successor, the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse [1], doesn't quite feel the same.

#6So I'm assuming there are two customizable buttons on the left side, if it's following the IntelliMouse 3.0 template. But you wouldn't know that from Microsoft's Product Listing page, because they don't show any pictures at all from the left side:

5 buttons (3 customizable * ) * Customization not available on devices running Windows 10 S.
Hadn't heard of Windows 10 S before this. Looks like an attempt to convince people to give MS iOS-like control over their PC in the name of security.

#9A lot of people like myself played CS competitively with this back in the day.

I used the Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical for years until I discovered the SteelSeries Sensei.
It is a gaming brand, which means you will have useless lights on it but it still has the symmetric design like the IntelliMouse and has additional buttons on each side that can be remapped with the (not soooo bad) driver software.
Tangential, but I can't understand how left handers can be neglected by peripheral hardware makers this much. Do they assume that just EVERYONE uses the mouse with their right hand?
