Microsoft Intellimouse Classic - Black

Product Information

The eye of the mouse is manufactured by PixArt and codenamed PAW3389PRO-MS, which indicates some sort of customization involved from Microsoft's side. The Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth was released in 2002, both as a separate product and with a wireless keyboard in the Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth bundle. These internal changes may not tempt OG Intellimouse fans, but they do make the mouse much more palatable to a modern audience. The Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse is decent for MMO gaming but doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO mouse.

In November 1997 Microsoft released the IntelliMouse TrackBall, using a finger-operated trackball to control the cursor and featuring the signature IntelliMouse scroll wheel.The original IntelliPoint software drivers have since been replaced by the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. Its available polling rates are 125, 500, and 1000, which translates into nominal response times of 8 ms, 2 ms, and 1 ms. In May, the IntelliMouse Explorer was exhibited at E3 1999, touting the benefits of its optical sensor for accuracy and reliability.

The Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse gives you a high-performance work and gaming-ready mouse with speed, responsiveness, precision, and durability. Device interface: USB Type-A, Movement resolution: 16000 DPI, Buttons type: Pressed buttons, Buttons quantity: 5, Scroll type: Wheel.

The Classic's sensor also works on glass and other tricky surfaces, something the earlier Intellimouse wasn't capable of. The IntelliMouse Optical received an Industrial Design Excellence Award in 2001, and was included in the "Workspheres" exhibit held at the New York MoMA in 2001.
