complete 180 on mouse preference - what's the best cheap mouse?

<< < (3/17) > >>

mrainey:
I've been using cheapo, reliable Microsoft optical mice for years.  Mine have two buttons and a scroll wheel.  I just bought a new one from MWave, on sale for three bucks.  Currently ten dollars, shipped ( http://www.mwave.com/mwave/subcategory.asp?CatID=55&parent=2&pagetitle=Input%20/Keyboard%20/Mice )

Can you live without that third button?   :)

nudone:
Yes, I think I can. Two is definitely the minimum though.

cmpm:
Microsoft mice have a better feel and responsiveness to me then Logitech.

I use a MS Explorer 3.0. It has the two side buttons.
$25 I think I paid for it.
With IntelliPoint 8.0 there is tons of options.

Don't forget that the scroll wheel acts as the third button (if clumsily).

JavaJones:
I've always been a fan of Microsoft's IntelliMouse line for a long time. They're pretty cheap, feel good in the hand, have a decent amount of buttons, and last a good while. Logitechs have IMO succumbed to "style over substance", at least at times. But they do make good hardware generally...
