Looking for mouse
I am interested in buying an MS IntelliMouse w/ Intelli Eye USB (not the optical or explorer model cause they are to clunky) The problem is all I can find on the web is the optical and the explorer model or if I find the normal one it is out of stock.
I am interested in buying an MS IntelliMouse w/ Intelli Eye USB (not the optical or explorer model cause they are to clunky) The problem is all I can find on the web is the optical and the explorer model or if I find the normal one it is out of stock. Is there some kind of shortage of these mice? Anyway if anyone knows where to find this mouse at a decent price please post or send me some mail. I don't wanna have to go to like a real store that would suck!

Best Buy tends to have them for about $30...and they also have the Logitech Variant for the same price..personally I prefer the Logitech one, as it tends to feel better than the Intellimouse ever did...Staples will usually have them as well.
Otherwise, the ever popular www.pricewatch.com

That mouse is also a real-mode Dos mouse.
Quite surprising because one would think
that USB cannot work in Dos due to the lack of Human Interface Device (HID) management.
An Intellimouse Explorer plugged on USB port of an Asus Cubx motherboard works perfectly in real-mode Dos. It is true with the Dos Logitech drivers also with the Netroom multimedia cloaking drivers.
You just have to keep IRQ 12 (PS2 mouse)available and unattached to any PCI slot.
The MS Intellimouse however is totally PS2 and Legacy USB Enabled in the Asus Bios does the trick.

They are cheap and plentiful up here in Canada.
Try www.futureshop.com or www.onvia.ca (all in Canadian funds).
Or conversely send me US$30 and I will go pick you one up and send it to you as a gift so no duty or shipping on it.
Actually I was serious about that part, I have been trading on Ebay quite a bit and have good references there. If interested, just email me and I'll hook you up. Surprisingly, we can get some stuff up here cheaper than States people. Not often, but there are a few goodies.

I bought a Microsoft intellimouse w/Intelli Eye when they first came out. I loved it and it is definetely the best mouse anyone has ever released. However about a month ago it broke. The wires got busted some how. I called them and microsoft replaced it with an Intellimouse Optical. I asked why they wouldn't send me the same mouse and they said it was because they have stopped making them. I know thats not what you wanted to hear. I have to say that the Optical isn't as bad as i thought it would be. I have grown to like it. If you insist on the Intellimouse w/Intellieye I have seen them on Pricewatch.com. Good luck
