It’s performance innovations like these and working closer with the community to understand the needs of our consumers that will help influence future Microsoft mice.
I thought the verdict of the Classic IntelliMouse was dead on arrival by the gaming community just because the sensor was subpar. It really seemed as if MS was exceptionally tone deaf to the community in this case (which is weird since they explicitly mention the sensor as a selling point in the article).
I really hope MS will make hardware again. Recently it has only been niche wireless stuff and I can't find anything else that comes close in comfort to their wired mice.
- microcolonel 8y agoFrankly not really sure why they are marketing this for gaming these days, because most IntelliMouse users I've known, use it for work and casual activities.
- tomnipotent 8y ago> Classic IntelliMouse was dead on arrival by the gaming community I was competitive gamer during that era (played for CS clan The Speakeasy Offensive, or TSO). Only the first release had a sub-par sensor (think 100 dpi?), but everything afterwards dominated traditional trackball mice. By the time my favorite mouse of all time was released in 2002 (Logitech MX500), I don't know of a single serious gamer that wasn't using optical.
