ok this has happened with out me fiddling with anything.

my microsfot intelli mouse explorer started pauseing its movement. its like all signal from it just stops, clicking and scroll wheel die as well. times varie grately, from 1 seconds to 10 seconds.

same thing in both USb and with a ps/2 adapter on.

my generic 2 butten cheapy thing works fine.

i brought my intelli mouse liek as soon as they hit the shops so i guess its quite old now.

and yse i have cleaned all the crap outta the lazer tube.

so, any advice? any way i can test my usb ports etc to see if the prob lies there.

also wut r your thoughts on this mouse; http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatPr....ools%2F

Isn't you smashing the keyboard over the monitor enough of a rumble? :D :confused:

Bundled with Immersion Desktop, which will add touch sensations to your desktop. When moving your cursor around your desktop, over icons and thru menu items, you will feel sensations like pops, impulses and textures

Either that's a vibrator or a rumble pack..

or both ? :eek: ?o-)

its an official season 3 spaceman sploof space helmet mouse!

you can use its communicator to contact outer space!!!

or, you can not waste your money on stupid gimmick mice and get a normal optical (not a gimmick) microsoft intellimouse. i've seen them for around $20 at a lot of places.

o i didnt see that. still it is quite cheap. but since im not paying for it thats academic.

i just think its sexy. and look at its sister in crime: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005U2DX/qid=1021746160/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/202-9818936-6178208

it turns out the prob with my mouse is common in the earlyer versions, and that if i give them my id numer they will give me a new one.

Sorta kewl, but sorta dumb

:thumbup: :thumbdown: mixed review. I'd end up hitting the wrong buttons all the time because I'm clumsy. But that looks better than the anal dildo vibrator mouse :tongue:
