Black MS IntelliMouse Optical 1.1 where? (23 comments)

( Forum: HW)

Posted by Lunatic @ 19:17 CST, 21 December 2008 - iMsg

I know Steelseries used to brand these, but nowerdays they only sell their own Ikari mice. Does anyone know where I can still get one?

Its still my favourite shape and I make good use of the big sidebuttons (perfect for peaking for instance), but the white ones I have are becoming yellow :S

only ships to sweden though I think, or maybe you can get hold of the owner via msn and get him to send it to the netherlands

hey thanks! I will try that!

edit 5 jan.: Quote from MSN contact:
we don't have it and never did, it was only sold through steelseries own webshop, unless some other store bought it through their webshop, and probably sold it very expensive if they did.

That's too bad! Still looking!!

does "1 lager" mean "1 in stock" ? I calculated that it would be about 25 euros for the product if it was to be send to sweden, so I guess I could get it for less than 50 in total

btw, the image shows this isnt a steelseries ed. and is "matte" instead of "glossy". Weird, I didnt know MS also made black ones

there's many versions:
white
black (link above)
special edition
steelseries edition

with the last two being the best because they both have glossy surfaces for a better grip imo

there are two black versions of this mouse on market:

the first one is the oem-version which you can find on ebay often. the second one is the steelseries-version which is sold out and extremly sought after (better surface -> better grip); really expensive compared to the oem. there are a lot of fakes from asia on the market, so pay attention, if you want to get one.

hth :)

The SS mice are super hard to find (The Microsoft ones)

I was in the market for a SS IE 3.0, and I couldn't find one anywhere. They have maybe TWO on eBay, easily over $100.

I wish SS would re-release them =(

<< Comment #9 @ 15:48 CST, 22 December 2008 >>

extaleR - Reply to #7

i have a sealed one :) but would recommend only the 1.1 ss, because the surface of the 3.0 ss isn't completely glossy. the place where you put your thumb on the mouse (imo the most important place to have good grip) wasn't worked on by ss ;(

so you recommend to use a whole different shape, just for its coating? :P

<< Comment #11 @ 06:31 CST, 23 December 2008 >>

By

extaleR - Reply to #10

of course, not. when you are pleased with the original coating so stay with it.

i think the 3.0 ss isn't worth over $100; just get the microsoft one for 20eur. 1.1 ss is a different story :)

Lunatic - Reply to #11

i mean... 3.0 isnt the IntelliMouse Optical but the IntelliMouse Explorer, a whole different mouse. same tech, but whole different body (a-symetric).

(you're not thinking that 3.0 is a upgraded version of 1.1a is it?)

Yeah I currently have the Microsoft one. If I could of found the SS one cheaper I would of gotten it, but $100 for a mouse is pretty steep =)

Interesting reply on my e-mail from SteelSeries Sales....

Look forward to April � you will see some nice and useful for you :-) Cannot say anymore.

Best regards

I've asked if he can at least say if its about the IMO shape (incl. sidebuttons) or not.

Anyone else with a suggestion? I refuse to pay 3 times the price someone else bought it for.

If anyone is interested; in my search I did find the IME3.0 and WMO in black here in The Netherlands (IMO1.1 bulk/retail only in white).

www.Alternate.nl
www.4Launch.nl (IME3.0)

they have it in stock for 15 euros (IMO1.1 white/bulk), 19 euros (WMO black/retail) and 30,50 euros (IME3.0)

Concerning the second link: _most_ probably you will get the standard new Explorer. They've just put a wrong picture in the description.

You've been warned.

PS: Just paint it yourself. Take of the shell, paint it and finish it up with clear coat.

<< Comment #21 @ 18:09 CST, 5 January 2009 >>

Lunatic - Reply to #19

could be, but they have also have the IME4.0 in their list, so that would mean its double in their list with different a prices

painting it myself would be a last resort, I'd be scared to damage the thing or screw it up with the paint. But I might give it a try with one of my older ones
