191558 2003-11-14 05:01:00 my $0.02 worth.

i just get genius mice these days. i've had the expencive microsoft mouse. it was nice but at the rate i go through mice they are just to expensive. the netscrolls seem good enough for gameing.

the only thing to watch is with some systems (PCcompany exspecially for some werid reason) is the extra mouse buttons work even tho they don't have the drivers installed. i usually have to install MS mouse drivers so i can go turn off the annoying side buttons.

191559 2003-11-14 05:24:00 Tend to agree. Anytthing with MS branded tends to be overpriced. I'm using a Genius 2 button ball mouse on my OS/2 box (while my RH Linux box is updating) and its smoother than any other brand I've used and comparable to any balless mouse I've used. A mouse without a ball is just not on at all. How on earth can they propergate ;). Sorry, couldn't resist........ mark.p (383)

191563 2003-11-14 06:22:00 The main reason Microsoft mice are overpriced is because they aren't produced in Asia, they're made in the US of A. agent (30)

So MS can sell the XBox below cost but not mice?

hell yeah. i bought a 2 button wheel microsoft mouse for $35. a week later i saw another mouse for $8! the moral of the story, look both ways before talking to strangers or else you could poke an eye out. especially ones you dont know. also, dont buy microsoft! shop around!
