Review on 🖱️ Revamped Microsoft Classic Intellimouse: Enhanced Precision and Ergonomics by Tim Rios

The first mouse I ever bought that didn't come with my computer was the Microsoft Intellimouse. Since then I've probably had at least 50 mice, some of which I didn't like and some of which I hated. This includes ones that cost over a hundred dollars and contain all sorts of gimmicks and shenanigans that almost always make me hate them more. I could find a scarecrow at the end of my desk somewhere, and guess what, I like it better. Over time I've learned that there are a few things I don't need or need, like a few tiny buttons at the top or sides that are always pressed at the wrong moment. knob and scroll wheel. I don't even care if the scroll wheel works like a button or tilts from side to side. I also realized that I don't want or need a mouse with any kind of variable dpi or sensitivity - as a graphic designer, I want it to always behave and feel the same. The last thing I disagree with some other users is that hard-to-press buttons are not a disadvantage for me and they do not cause pain in my hands or fingers in any way, quite the opposite, this is the last thing I want to move the mouse . around, my fingers resting lightly on it, and suddenly the button is pushed and does something to my work that I didn't mean to. I want the buttons to click only when I want them to. ERGONOMIC The Intellimouse is larger than most but fits incredibly snugly in the palm of my hand. Although it has two option buttons under the right thumb that most people use as forward and backward, unlike many models I've used, my thumb naturally falls under those two buttons so I can't accidentally press them, but when i do i want us to have them i just have to put my thumb up slightly. SURPRISE A few things I wasn't expecting, especially on the lower end, is the cool blue light on the mouse's heel that helps me find it in a darkened room. It's there, it looks cool, but it doesn't overpower or blind like some brands do. It's just a small issue that I don't think there is a way to turn off the lights when the computer is off, but maybe that's just my system. Another unexpected thing is that as soon as I connected it to the network, it loaded its own driver without having to download a large memory retrieval application like Logitech does. The app recognized which mouse I had and gave me a few extra controls that the operating system doesn't have. HOW IT FEEL AND WORKS Yes, this device is on the lower end of the price range, although you can get a mouse for even less. But unlike them, this is not a cheap feeling. Unlike most other low-end models, it's not very light, weighing about twice as much as the mice that make up most computers these days and just enough to keep it from flopping around on my desk. The cable doesn't have the fancy armored look that some manufacturers are promoting, it's soft and flexible to the point where there's no difference between it and a wireless mouse. The pads on the bottom glide smoothly and the scroll wheel doesn't bog down on me, it spins with an intuitive effort. What sets it apart from other budget mice is its accuracy, which is very important for anyone involved in editing, retouching, or graphics. It's much more accurate without slowing down to a crawl. In terms of accuracy, for the first time I was able to forego the mouse pad entirely and use the much larger flat surface of my desktop as a tracking surface. I now have a level of control I've only seen on my very expensive graphics tablets, and never have to worry about falling off the tablet's edge on long draws. I often work late into the night in my home studio. A mouse with noisy plastic buttons and a scroll wheel drives me to the wall. I've only had a few of them that were still or close. This is one of the quietest I've ever had. That would almost be reason enough for me to choose it.
