MicroShat Mouse

MrX:
Having just broken my plain two button scroll wheel microshat mouse from getting angry with windoze 98 i put in my usb optical intellimouse explorer. its confy and okay, but the software sucks. the intellipoint driver crut version 5.0 soposably checks for updates every minute! slowing the computer down. and the intellimouse explorer version i have(older one with two big buttons on the side for browsing the web, new version has two very small buttons) well, every single one of those mice had a big problem with the cord. it shorts out making the mouse useless. you need to take about 3 inches off the connection to the mouse and totally re-do it. now it works fine. but when i go to scroll, about 1 in 10 times, it jumps to the end of the page when its sopposed to go only 3 lines at a time. tsk tsk.

Meshuggener:
Yeah, well that's why MS is primarily a software company and not hardware.  And we know how good their software is    

Get a Logitech or something.

Fett101:
But they're mice scoll sideways   :D

MrX:
yes, that new sideways scroll mouse is cool. at the comp. store, the microsoft mouse was more confy than the logitech. well, neways, when i get my linux mandrake on mybox, i will use the mouse. the mouse is pretty, good, just the driver software stinks. on the mandrake linux site, my intellimouse explorer is compatible. yay. next time you get a mouse, and if its microshat, plan to use it on linux mandrake or someting. just dont get a microsoft mouse to use with windoze!!! ;

Annorax:
Do you even NEED the nonstandard driver????
