Microsoft Classic IntelliMouse Makes a Return

Microsoft started selling its classic IntelliMouse here in the EU. it is based on the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 dating back to the year 2003, but has seen a few upgrades.

The fan-favorite mouse of yore has been transformed with modern improvements like more precise tracking and reliable button action while maintaining the classic look and feel. Inspired by the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0, the Microsoft Classic IntelliMouse brings back the classic, wired mouse with modern-day improvements. It has all the features you loved from the original—from customizable1 buttons and classic ergonomic look and feel to the wired-USB connection. And with more precise tracking, buttons that feel more reliable, and a distinctive, modern white tail light, this new take on a classic mouse keeps up with your hectic workload.

The Classic IntelliMouse costs roughly €45, it already appeared in the US last October 2017.

I never liked this mouse(owned it) even when it originally came out. I know it was pretty popular so obviously some people did.

I've seen a lot of CS players using this over the years which means it should perform well. Not sure if I'm sold on this one until I see a review with all the competition doing great for low prices out there.

Anyways what kinds of drivers for a mouse require 150mb? Hope it's not mining cryptocurrency.

I have always used this mouse :)
No extra buttons, and as light as a feather.

I used a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1a for years as it was ambidextrous and i'm a lefty. It was super comfortable and very accurate in fps games and mobas. This new intellimouse classic is right-handed only :(
