Is this mouse worth it?
Well I have had my New iMac for about a week and I love the look of this one button mouse and wish I could keep it but it's driving me crazy, I can't seem to get things done fairly fast, playing Return To Castle Wolfenstein is a task in itself, and it hurts my hand. So I was looking at the Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer, does anyone have any comments on it? Is it worth $70.00? That's a lot of money for a mouse and I don't want to waste it if it isn't going to be any good. Thanks.

Amen to that. Wireless mice suck donkey balls for gaming. Get a wired one. I've heard the Logitech Dual Optical is good, and also their iFeel mouse and standard optical mouse.
Personally I use the razer boomslang 2000. It's a ball mouse, but it's precise as hell. I go to my sister's computer and it's a pain in the ass to spend 5 hours to go from one corner of the screen to another. With my razer, I flick my mouse a tiny bit and ZOOM!
Oh, it glows blue, which looks cool with Aqua.
Edit: Surfing and such are alright I suppose, but I personally don't like the feel of it.

And boomslang boy, I like my mice slow as hell. I like even better the Wacom 12x12 tablet I use to have.
<strong>I think there's also something about MS mice sampling slowly. They just seem so jerky.

Why do you like your mouse slow?
Edit: Does anyone have an idea when Logitech will release a driver for it? It would be cool if I could use this back button on it

Logitech's got beta drives on their website, but I'd suggest just using <a href="http://www.usboverdrive" target="_blank">USB Overdrive</a>.
It rocks. I use it primarily for Urban Terror (http://urbanterror.net).
No lag, no loss of resolution, lots of optical sensor goodness.
Never have I been so happy with my mouse.
I am playing Wolfenstein now, and it is great. I also used it for Urban Terror, Quake 3, Unreal, etc. The mouse has 3 main buttons (counting the wheel button), plus a (left) side button, and a wheel. I wish it had a pinky (right side) button, but oh well!
It is a very cool color of silver and grey that looks nice with TiBook and QuickSilver G4s.

Why do you like your mouse fast?
Let me answer this question for you: You don't like moving your hand.
So I like my mouse slow because I do like moving my hand. Pretty simple, isn't it? I also do a lot of graphics work, and a slow tracking speed allows more control on them bezier control points.
Whatever you decide on for a new mouse, you should recoup some of the cost by selling your Apple Pro Mouse on eBay.

Good enough reason.
