this mouse is just 49zl (~~15usd or 12 euros) =o

i use the same one, tox, panicore, socrates, cooller also and nobody believes me that it rox ;)

nop it's really crap compared to the new ones: razer/mx518 if you once tested one of them you would recognize it :p

i had mx 510 and ms 3.0 before

they both suck compared to this mouse

They're not really comparable as they're totally different in size. Though 3.0 has probably the same optics as the one in the pic depending on what version it is (the one in the pic). And the 510 is superior to both in any case when it comes to performance.

Screw performance. As long as the bloody thing doesnt skip, the only thing you have to worry about is shape. And the shape of that mouse is what makes it own so hard.

Very true :) But I felt about the same using IE3.0 and MX500. And when I upgraded to MX510 I felt a big difference in aim. Everything was much easier to hit. And I got the same effect going from MX510 to MX518. Too bad they don't make smaller mice also for those who prefer that. Only MS does both sizes apparently. Too bad IE4.0 sucks ass.

yeah i use the same mouse :DDD swopped my mx500 for it, then 6 months later bought a razer, but ended up selling the razer and keeping the ms :)

it's the fact that it's so light and doesn't skip, just makes it the perfect mouse. what else do u need?

I like the shape of 3.0 and it, imo is the "perfect mouse".

the mouse is a part of the shape i would say, and u get a better shape with a powerful mouse imo :o

huh, what's that pad ?

IE 3.0 < IE 4.0 < Diamondback plasma ;)

That would appear to be an Icemat 2nd. edition blue.

I also agree that the ms wheelmouse optical is one of the most hardcore mice ever made. I use one personally with my icemat 2nd. ed. silver.

i use this mouse and it rocks..... :)

i got the same mouse in black. dont think i'll use anything else.

Can someone tell me the exact name/model of this mouse? I think I saw them in black at a local shop for pretty cheap.

MS Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1a.

These mice are great, I really don't understand why anyone would spend more than £10 on a mouse these days when you can get these ones for around £9 and they track perfectly/never skip. The only bad thing about the mice is the plastic feet, but you could replace them with teflon skatez if they bother you. For me the plastic works fine on a cloth pad so I don't bother changing them.

does it read the surface as good as 3.0 and those big ole mice?

Oui.

Some people use their computers alot for other things than playing games, and need a comfortable mouse that doesn't put alot of strain on the wrist. I used the 1.1a back in the days, but the shape of that just kills my wrist.

Yep £9 for this mouse + £6 for an allsop raindrop and you've got a nice quake setup for £15 total cost :P

microsoft optical wheel mouse

best mice are logitech serial :P

I had wheelmouse optical 1.1a, until I got a razer diamondback..

exactly. the lower dpi of older mice matters imo only when you're using them with a high sens. but i prefer a comfortable shape over new technology that's better in theory. whatever accuracy you gain from having 4x the dpi you will lose from having a worse (or just different) grip on your mouse.

wtf, should have been a reply to netrex' #10, but it doesn't even allow me to edit my post <3

MS Blue Optical rules, i'm a leftie so i need an ambi-dextrous mouse - but i still like not having side buttons and it's pure tiny size and weight.

FPS games are all about reactions and control of your mouse(hand), the lighter and smaller (therefore easier to keep controlled - your hand fits around it better) it is, the better. I don't get how people cna use huge mice, especially when they're your typical weedy teenager with toothpick arms (yea, i'm nto much different >_>).

i had the exact same keyboard and mouse gel wrist rest thing

didnt use the mouse rest because it felt extremely awkward, but the keyboard rest was really nice... fell apart after a couple years though

the wristrest is actually an old everglide giganta wristrest :) its survived quite a few years.

Does it have a name?

Thats not what i meant :(

no, i dont have a nickname for my wristrest :P

ROFL

uhmm fox..you make the funniest posts..hmm jummm..

MS Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1a.

but whats the difference between the two

a

The 1.1A signifys that it was purchased as an OEM or "whitebox" product. Where as if the mouse just reads Microsoft Wheelmouse Optical, as in, without the 1.1A, it was a retail box item. There are NO technical specification differences between the two mice.

BTW, www.gamercompany.com has them for $9.95 USD if anyone is still looking for one.

sorry, its www.thegamercompany.com, it wont let me edit my post.

http://www.thegamercompany.com now it works!

they even have mx300...

few ppl were looking for these lately

too bad they're out of stock...

i recently bought this mouse and i would like to know how fox and cooller have set it up
what drivers, win sens, reg fixes, settings etc

let me know plzthnx

First things first - you use your feet.
