#13I wish they'd bring back the Microsoft Trackball Explorer - the button switches on mine eventually wore out. This had five buttons - left, right, scroll-click, forward, back (all programmable).

Question for the lefties: what kind of pointing device do you prefer? Mouse? Touchpad? Do you prefer to swap L&R clicks when you use other people's computers?

#14Too little, too late. Zowie copied the classic Intellimouse shapes, but offer them in a range of sizes with a class-leading optical sensor.

The new Intellimouse preserves the old shape, but ignores the thing that made it legendary in the first place - the MLT04 sensor, which was (entirely accidentally) perfect for FPS gaming. Microsoft don't even mention their choice of sensor for this new mouse, which bodes badly.

great find. It's rare that I see a mouse specifically advertised for 'claw grip' users like myself.

My Trackball Explorer thankfully is still chugging along. When it expires (could be a few years away at least), I'm planning on trying Logitech Trackman Marble. It looks similar enough...

#18The one thing I've never liked about Microsoft mice is that the scroll wheel doesn't click the way it does in everyone else's mice. It's too bad, because everything else about their mice was good, but that scroll wheel was a dealbreaker.

#19It took me a while to find a mouse I was happy with, but now that Razer required me to update my _mouse driver_ for GDPR compliance, I am thinking about switching to this. In general, I like my hardware to come with as little software as possible.

FYI you can take it apart and replace the switches
