Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0
$39.95
Released September, 2004
The Pros:Fixes the scroll wheel issue found in previous iterations of this model. 1.2mm lift off distance on every surface. Well-shaped as it fits very comfortably in hand.
The Cons:Not built to last--very commonly stops working after about a year of use. Only 400dpi, making it feel sluggish in high resolution desktop environments.
