Reddit mentions of Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse

I have had this mouse for probably at least ten years now:

I love it. Unfortunately, it's started on occasion leaking grease or something out of the mouse wheel, but it otherwise functions perfectly. I will surely replace it when it bites the dust. It is very comfortable, simple, yet with great functionality (with my setup, the thumb button minimizes windows; the button on the other side switches between windows).

Nothing could beat my Microsoft intellimouse.

actually that looks a little better than the 4500, but the side button is still small.

I actually switched to the Steelseries sensei which you can see has the same sort of shape as the intellimouse optical and the side buttons are ok.

That said, the drivers suck, not so much under windows, but with a mac.

microsoft actually makes great mac drivers.

I did a quick amazon search and they have them. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-D58-00026-Intellimouse-Optical-Mouse/dp/B00005TQ08

I was using a Microsoft Intellimouse for about 10 years, and finally decided to purchase a new one as I was having chronic issues with the rubber feet falling off. I decided to get a Logitech G400 and love it. It feels like it's built really well, and it fits in my hand similarly to the Intellimouse, which I really like. I have no experience with the G500, but the G400 is a great option if you're looking for a solid mouse without 83 buttons.

The Intellimouse I had was the original one with one side button on each side, like this one:

Honestly, it was so long ago and I'm sure my hand was smaller at that time, so I can't remember unfortunately. I want to say that the intellimouse was narrower, but taller than the Viper is and maybe the same length.

Why the greatest mouse of all time, of course. The original Microsoft 5-button intellimouse

If you can find a real Microsoft Intellimouse I would buy it asap.

All these mice are tailored gaming in mind, mainly for csgo.

Right after phase 1 ended my mouse was acting up, so i planned to buy a new mouse that would not only be cheap but would also complement sc2 for when it goes back up. So i lurked Team Liquid a bit and they said The microsoft intellimouse goes great for sc2.And sure enough the mouse does go great with sc2.

Just look at those Back / Forward buttons. Your thumb could use them all day long, and never get tired.

I have an old Microsoft intellimouse I loved using. It still is hooked up to my old laptop (turned into a cheap media center PC)
I wish I could say this one is just as good. But it is within the price range.

(this is the older version of the mouse http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-D58-00026-Intellimouse-Optical-Mouse/dp/B00005TQ08/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376619053&sr=8-2&keywords=intellimouse)

Mice are difficult to recommend for durability, because by the time you know something is going to last even 5-10 years, it is outdated and/or no longer sold. The original Microsoft IntelliMouse was fantastic and durable (mine still works after 10+ years), but it only has about 400 DPI which is pretty low by today's standards. It's also no longer available new.

I have had a Logitech G303 mouse for three months. As far as functionality and feel, I really like it, but the negative reviews generally mention the left-click issue you faced and a slow warranty process.

You're wrong. Even if it does support higher DPI they almost always keep it set at 400-800.

These used to be (and maybe still are, Razor Deathadder (it has no built in correction I believe) and MX518 have taken popularity as well, but once again they are usually left to 400-800 DPI, basically Optical Mice are better than Laser's iirc, I'll try to find an article) the most popular gaming mice for CS 1.6, and Quake.

here's the guy, looks good!

i don't know why you brought up the logitech harmony remote, it's completely unrelated to mice.

Make sure you get a wired mouse that is comfortable for you. There is no need to spend more than $50 unless you want programmable macros and bloatware. DPI, in general, is a marketing gimmick and doesn't really affect the performance of the mouse a whole lot. It's about consistent tracking and how it feels in your hand.

• My mouse of choice, incredibly solid with a great track record
  
• If you are feeling like spending under $20
  
• If you really, honestly want to brag about DPI, also the successor to a crowd favorite (still have one as a back-up)
  
  That being said if you have a wired mouse that you're comfortable using right now, stick with it. No reason to change what works.
  
  Don't overlook a decent mouse pad. Whichever mouse you buy, there is likely an inexpensive soft pad ($20 or under) that will work with it. Get one. It will give you a consistent tracking surface. SteelSeries and Xtrac both make pretty nice soft pads. Hard pads are more expensive and generally have a narrower range of compatibility, so check before you buy to see if it works with your mouse.
  
  Play on a medium/low sensitivity. Start by bottoming out your sensitivity, then slowly move it up until you can move comfortably. Do not start from the top and work your way down. You will be moving your mouse more, but you will be more accurate and consistent in your mouse movement in the long-run.
  
  I also highly suggest you use raw mouse input in-game if you are not already. Mouse acceleration is baaaaad for developing consistent movement/accuracy. If you don't trust the game to do it for you (or you play other FPS games that do not support raw mouse input), check out this fix to remove all mouse acceleration in Windows 7.
  
  FPS shouldn't affect your accuracy too much as long as it's consistent. Play some TDM if you want to get used to just running around aiming and shooting, then move back to conquest/rush once you're comfortable. You'll get better with time ;)

is the g203 (or the g300s) good choice for replacement of an old intellimouse 1.1a (the white ambidextrous one with silver side buttons from the early winxp days; not sculpted right-handed gray kind, those sucked ass) (looks like this).. size-wise and with a clicky scroll wheel?

I've used this for 7 years now, it rules.
