![]() I'd have to take issue with the choice of Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (1999). The first optical mice were available at least 15 years (?) before, albeit with a metal pad and hefty price tag. I'm still using a serial Mouse Systems mouse of that era. I also recall paying about AU$40 for a Taiwanese serial optical mouse in 1990. I can't understand why PC World believes that MS's product is "the first mainstream optical mouse". I had one of those optical mice with the metal pad, it worked well at the time but the modern optical mice are infinitely better. They provide the advantages of optical along with those of mechanical mice for the best of both worlds. I was never fond of the Intellimouse Explorer ergonomic design, in fact I didn't like it at all, but the standard Intellimouse optical that was offered for a short time, as well as the Logitech models are quite good. |
