Mouse Opinions

I'm going to be getting a new mouse before long. . . Wondering what everyone here regards as the best mouse. I've had an Intellimouse Explorer, the non-neutered intellimouse, the logitech optical wheel mouse, the wireless mouseman, and am currently using a Boomslang 2000.

Wondering what everyone here regards as the best mouse.
 
I've had an Intellimouse Explorer, the non-neutered intellimouse, the logitech optical wheel mouse, the wireless mouseman, and am currently using a Boomslang 2000.
 
 
The ones I'm looking at now are
1. Mouseman optical (Logitech)
2. Intellimouse Explorer (Microsoft)
3. Cordless Mouseman Optical (logitech)(preorder only, right now)
 
the cordless mouseman optical would be great, but it's only 800 DPI.
 
I LIKE sensitive mice...which is why the Boomslang is great(2000dpi!)
 
however, razer is going under....so I don't want to get a new one and risk no warranty.
 
 
Anyone have any ideas, thoughts, etc.

I've had an IntelliMouse Explorer for a month or so now, and I really like it, better than any of the Logitech mice - I hate that shape, it slides out of my hand.
 
I did hear that Razor has been bought by Logitech though, so you're not necessarily *** -out on your Boomslang2K.

I loved the MS intellimouse...and if it weren't for the extra sensitivity of the BS2k, I'd still be using it. but as it was, it was a free trade for a year old MS IE for a 2 week old BS2k
 
I hadn;t heard about logitech buying the razer mice.
 
I'd love for that to be true...because I like the BS2k -MORE- than than the IE. it's more comfortable for me, actually...
 
the rubbery feel is a lot nicer than the smooth plastic of the IE.

Sorry, it was Lactec, not Logitech that has gotten ahold of the Razors. This site just links back to the Razor site, but someone over at the [H] got a replacement Boomslang2K that said Labtec all over it, so the deal seems to be in the works.

Bear in mind these are the same people that canned the SpaceOrb game controller after they bought out Spacetec. So who knows what they have in mind for Razer.

Man am I glad I found this post.
 
In preparation for moving from 98Se to 2KPro we've been contacting vendors regarding update drivers, etc.......... Logitech, which has generally provided outstanding service and support, keeps sending me Win98SE info.....no mention of Win2K.
 
Hopefully you guys can help!!!!!
 
In short, we use Mouseman+, Cordless Trackman Wheel, and Cordless Mouseman Wheels on our 98SE systems. Will they transfer to Win2kPro without a problem?

I bought 2 of THIS almost 10 yrs ago, still operating very well, smoothed and slicked as Bill Clinton's MO to this very day.

SnapperOne - yep, logitech mice work just fine on win2k. Just get the latest drivers and you'll be okay.

Xiven..........
 
I have no doubt you are correct. But, what's tripping my trigger right now is why can't Logitech just say that. Nooooooo, they got me downloading all this tech' documents. I've told them at least three times in a row what products of theirs we use; why not just tell me files to download.
 
Thanks for the headsup. Unfortunately, based on Logitech's responses so far, I suppose I'll have to guess what to download.

MS Intellimouse Optical eye mice are great no matter what version...especially if youve got cats or other shedding pets. Love it!

MS Optical Trackball...or Logitech TrackMan Mable+. Either one is a great trackball.

I used the Logitech Marble FX..and loved it
 
if I were in the market for a trackball, I'd be getting the new wireless FX...but I prefer a mouse for gaming(thouch I could turn around faster with the trackball, I can't circle strafe as well)
