| 74951 | 2002-08-29 11:10:00 | My d-in-law wants to get our boy a new mouse for father's day,(to go with the rats that our g/son has no doubt)She found an A4 Tech (I think it is) for $60.00. 2 scroll wheels, optical. How does that compare with the IntelliMouse Explorer that I use,round $140 ? Thanks. | Neil McC (178) | ||

| 74954 | 2002-08-29 11:28:00 | I have the A4 optical single scroll mouse and that is brilliant. Paid $40 not on special. Found that it worked a heap better with single colour mouse pad too. Prefferably a darker colour as my room is quite well lit during the day |

| 74955 | 2002-08-29 11:51:00 | My mouse is so cheap it doesn't even have a brand name. Got for $12 at Warehouse Stat. Wurx fine for me. 3 button scroll mouse. My only complaint is that it is a tad small, but actually it is standard size, I have big hands. | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 74956 | 2002-08-29 12:01:00 | I have had that exact mouse for over a year now. I have never cleaned it, and I have used it on surfaces as caried as a wood-grained desktop to my cord pants to a polar fleece blanket with no trouble at all. I think it is awesome, and would never go back to a dumb two or three button wheel mouse. Optical rocks! The side buttons are excellent as I never have to hit the forward and back buttons. In fact, I now get frustrated with anything less. The second scroll wheel is usually a bit superfluous except for my cad work as I get pan, zoom, rotate etc all on the mouse. Get It! G P |

| 74958 | 2002-08-29 21:48:00 | Is this (www.dse.co.nz) the A4 Tech mouse you are all talking about? godfather, you got a good deal at that price if that is your one. How did you other guys get it for less than $67? What other shops have them? Hmm, maybe I should get hubby one for Fathers' Day too? *thinks: hubby hardly ever uses the computer but too bad! hehehe* |

| 74959 | 2002-08-29 22:23:00 | If price is no object, and you want something that's long-lasting, I'd recommend the Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse . I use it at work and it's excellent! no more wires getting in the way, no more cleaning the track-ball, and you can use it from around 2m away from your PC . The downside is that it chews through the batteries, so having a battery recharger and rechargeable batteries ready to go, is always a good thing . It does give you warning that your batteries are dying, so you have around a week to replace them . I'm not sure of the price, but I know it ain't the cheapest on the market . I don't know if I could go back to a normal track-ball mouse now . Well, that's my 2c worth . Cheers Kerry |

| 74960 | 2002-08-29 22:27:00 | My one was on "special" at DSE, for Trade customers only. Your link is a dud Susan, but the mouse is the 2 scroll wheel Optical PS2/USB mouse. I think they have the single scroll wheel optical version for $40 at the moment. |
