Microsoft Intellimouse Classic - Black

I have been on the search for my perfect mouse for some time now. Notice I do say "my" perfect mouse, as I'm sure you'll understand, different people will have different requirements which fit the description of 'perfect'. I am not a gamer and use my computer for 3D CAD modelling and graphic design. My previous 'perfect' mouse was the Logitech MX518. Absolutely superb, however, this model is now discontinued and I'm not willing to pay the extortionate prices that you can find it selling for on a particular online auction site. Having owned a number of mice in the past 3-4 years, I would often find something that would detract from the experience. Wired or wireless made no issue to me, factors such as DPI and, ergonomics, quality of buttons, types of buttons, etc. were top of my list. I even found myself resorting to using technicoloured fluorescent glowing mice in order to experience the above factors, despite having always thought of adding unnecessary lights as a gimmicky. This product came along and I was anticipating it's release from when it was initially announced by Microsoft. I am pleased to say that it has indeed, lived up to my expectations. This is an excellent mouse! Very rarely do companies re-release a product and get it just right. I personally believe Microsoft has achieved this with the re-release of this mouse. The upgraded DPI, enhanced bluetrack technology and subtle white light. The quality of the buttons have increased to aid it's durability. I never actually owned the original Intellimouse, I did, however, use one for a work computer for a lengthy duration of time. Comparing this mouse to its original model, I am happy. For those of you that want a non-gimmicky, solid mouse that does the job of pointing device, then look no further.

For the last few years I've used whatever mouse I found in my "man box" (I suppose somebody will complain about that like they did Mansize Kleenex!). Getting back to a good quality mouse is like getting a really comfortable pair of shoes; the mouse fits my hand perfectly although I suppose it might be a bit big for people with really small hands. It's really tactile with all of the "clicky bits" feeling really well made and responsive. The cursor doesn't move across the screen, it glides, with no jerkiness or poor movement. I know it's not usual for something as trivial as a mouse to cause excitement but this one does. As it's the interface between us humans and our computers it needs to be positive, smooth and responsive, just like the wheels on the car. Why did I get a wired mouse rather than a bluetooth one? Try it and you'll notice the difference. This is a cracker.

I used to have an Intellimouse way back in the day and loved it. For the past good few years I've had a Logitech G500 which I really liked but it recently became faulty. I remembered how much I used to like the Intellimouse, and while I do game I use my PC a lot for a variety of different things so wasn't too bothered about buying a "gaming mouse" so to speak. So the classic Intelli certainly has a nice, clean and sleek look to it. I really like the white led light that illuminates from the bottom. The buttons are well placed and it feels great in the hand, and just about the right weight as well. The cable is plastic which doesn't bother me but I know some people prefer a fabric cable. It works straight out of the box which is great, but you can install the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center (download) if you wish to configure all the buttons for different commands and also the DPI rate up to 3200 (default 1600). My only one little gripe is I have a cloth mouse mat which has white text in the middle of it. The sensor doesn't seem to like going over this text and the cursor on the screen stutters in its movement. If I use the mouse on a purely black part of the mousemat it works great, so I've a feeling the mouse sensor maybe isn't the best. I've had to go an order a new plain mousemat because of it (it works fine also just on the desk but I like having a mousemat). All in all though, I really like this mouse and would recommend it - just watch out for the issue I've mentioned!

The original was the best mouse money could buy. This one meets that criteria too. Brilliant mouse.

Comfy on the hand, nice design and a mild light!

Always my go to mouse. Old one gave up so went for this instinctively. Quality item that delivers. Worth paying more for a decent item.

Had multiple Microsoft mice over the years and they're always good quality. Because this one is wired there's never any battery anxiety or dodgy connections, while also making the mouse lightweight in comparison to wireless models with their AA batteries. Tracking is smooth and consistent, it works with Macs and PCs fine, the size gives plenty of support so you never feel like you're going to get cramp or tired using it. The scroll wheel is the best I've used and the back/forward buttons are very naturally placed. The whole thing just has excellent ergonomics. Highly recommend.

The shape of this mouse and it's accuracy in terms of tracking and scrolling are exemplary but, as others have suggested, it has poor wear characteristics by virtue of the material used for the sides. Everything feels so good when new - the tactile qualities of the sides were one reason I liked this mouse. Nevertheless, just this week, mine is starting to degrade fast. Pieces of rubber start to come away and you are always aware of it as the previously smooth surface roughens. Such a shame. I shall be heading back to a Logitech Master which lasted years rather than months.

Microsoft products at it's best. Quality material, works wth technology, ergonomically correct and stylish.

Buongiorno, il primo Mouse che ho acquistato nella mia vita era un MS intelli point di quelli con sotto la pallina e la porta ps2, poi ho acquistato l'intelli point3 quello con sotto la lucetta, e ora, siccome quest'ultimo dopo circa 20 anni di onortato servizio si è parzialmente scassato (il tasto dx con le plastiche ormai consumate ha smesso di funionare correttamente) ero nel panico e non sapevo più che diavolo di mause comperare perchè questo qui "intelli mouse classic" non era ancora venuto fuori, e dunque non era possibile comprarlo.... se state leggendo questa recensione, forse sarà capitato anche a voi di vedere mouse dalle forme più strane ai quali sono stati forniti delle quantita di tasti come se non ci fosse un domani.... luci, lucette e, scusate il francesismo "balle varie". Bene, a un certo punto pochi mesi fa è saltato fuori quest'ultimo mouse di casa MS, Intelli point classic, che è assolutamnte identico per funzionalità e forma (per me la perfezione) all'intellipoint 3, con una colorazione ancora più sobria e la lucetta posteriore più stilosa. Posso dirvi solo che questo mouse funziona benissimo, per la navigazione sul web è ottimo, per giocare è ottimo, il software di ms che lo gestisce è ottimo, l'ergonomia almeno per me è ottima, ma soprattutto Microsoft Intellipoint classic "è un CLASSICO, e il classico non si batte!"

Éste ratón es todo lo que puedes esperar de un producto Microsoft: buena calidad, durable y cómodo. Aunque eso sí, tiene sus usos. Si lo vas a utilizar para gaming, creo que no es una buena idea, ya que existen muchos ratones con mejor perfil en el mercado. No obstante, si tu objetivo es juego ligero (no FPS), ofimática y navegación a través de internet, creo que es un ratón muy bueno por su precio. Quizá la caracterítica que más sorprende puede ser su tamaño. Si tienes manos pequeñas o no estás cómodos con ratones grandes, deberías echar un vistazo a las medidas. No obstante, creo que es fácil acostumbrarse y lo convierte en un ratón ergonómico y cómodo.

Auf die Haltbarkeit bin ich noch sehr gespannt, aber für alles andere bisher 5 Sterne. Die Software ist schön übersichtlich und der Treiber ist vergleichsweise sparsam mit dem Arbeitsspeicher. Man muss sich wundern, warum andere das nicht hinbekommen. Die Haptik ist wie immer Geschmackssache. Einmal natürlich nur für Rechtshänder geeignet, aber sonst sicher auf hohe Massenkompatibilität ausgelegt (Form, Material), dabei ein Stück ergonomisch. Ich finde, sie liegt gut in der Hand. Ich komme an jeden Knopf, das Scrollrad ist genau genug. Der Sensor und die Zeigerbewegung sowie die Gleitfähigkeit auf meinem Stoffpad gefallen mir ganz wunderbar. Auch, dass ich mit der Software generell alle Knöpfe frei belegen und dabei einen beliebigen Knopf so belegen kann, dass ich darüber die Sensitivität/Auflösung/Geschwindigkeit während der Nutzung einfach umschalten kann. Der Preis (ca. 36 Euro aktuell) ist dafür gerechtfertigt. Nachtrag: bei der ersten Lieferung bekam ich eine, deren weiße LED anscheinend kaputt war. Amazon-mäßig hatte ich bereits einen Tag nach meiner Meldung ein Austauschmodell in einwandfreiem Zustand und schickte Nr. 1 zurück. Inzwischen habe ich drei weitere Stück von den Dingern (kamen alle einwandfrei an) an verschiedenen Rechnern in Gebrauch (auch auf der Arbeit) und will keine andere mehr. Auf der Pappschachtel steht die Modellnummer, bei der sollte man darauf achten, dass es mindestens die HDQ-00002 ist. Die ältere HDQ-00001 hatte möglicherweise noch ein paar Probleme mit dem Sensor. In Europa soll es aber stets nur die ab HDQ-00002 gegeben haben, somit ist da kein Ärger zu erwarten.

En tant qu'infographiste, je travaille toute la journée sur ordinateur et j'ai besoin d'une souris qui soit confortable sur la durée et qui soit aussi très précise. Après m'être hasardé du côté des souris gamer, j'ai choisi d'acheter ce modèle en me disant que tout le bien que j'avais lu à son sujet ne devait pas être complètement exagéré. Après presque 2 mois d'utilisation quotidienne, voici ce que j'en pense : En ce qui concerne le design, tout est bien pensé : la main repose bien sur le corps de la souris (qui est en plus une des rares qui est très bien adaptée aux grandes mains) et les boutons tombent parfaitement sous les doigts. A propos de boutons, leur nombre est assez réduit, ce qui me convient très bien. Question précision, rien à redire : le curseur suit exactement le mouvement que vous imprimez à la souris, zéro hésitation, pas de mouvement parasite. J'ai par ailleurs essayé la souris sur pas mal de surfaces différentes (même si au quotidien elle travaillera sur un tapis de souris) et sur ce point c'est un vrai tout-terrain. Un petit mot concernant le logiciel de paramétrage : simple, très complet, avec la possibilité d'assigner des touches, fonctions ou même des macros aux boutons de notre choix. Seule petite pingrerie : pas de possibilité de désactiver la LED à l'arrière de la souris mais elle n'est pas gênante du tout car elle n'éclaire que le tapis (ou le support sur laquelle se trouve la souris) sans éblouir, y compris dans le noir. Au final un très bon achat, du matériel qui me semble très sérieux
