They fixed the scroll wheel!!!!!!!!!!!
The newest revision of the IME 3.0 has fixed the scroll wheel problem people were reporting.
This is great news.Pros
1.2mm lift off distance on every surface
Perfect comfort and shape
5 buttons
Works perfectly at 400dpi
Cons (of course)
Only 400 dpi...desktop resolutions are like, 1920x1200, and anything less than 1600 dpi feels sluggishly slow on a desktop. 400 dpi is awesome for games...but come on, can't be helped though.
Only 5 buttons...gaming mice these days like to have at least 7 fully programmable buttons, 5 is standard though. Not many games need 7, I have ten PC FPS and RTS games...and I only use 7 mouse buttons in Gears of War.
Other Thoughts And Comparisons
Many people get a Razer DeathAdder or MX518 because they want an Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 with high DPI, that can switch to low DPI.
Unfortunatly what happens is that those mice, in their low DPI modes, do not perform the same as the IME 3.0, they don't track as well, they force straight lines, and in general are not as accurate.
If you want a faster mouse, or more buttons...
Microsoft Habu is the way to go.
It's the only mouse that has the Intellimouse shape, and the build quality behind it to make it good enough to compare.
Cons on the Habu though...
Need a hard pad to make it track good.
2.4 mm lift off on most hard pads. 1.2mm is the perfect lift off, and you can pretty much only get it with the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Please buy this mouse if you're hardcore into gaming.
Use it seperate from your high DPI mouse, use this mouse for gaming, and the other mouse for desktop use.
Unless you're used to 400 dpi desktop mice...then you win all over.
They fixed the scroll wheel problem.
This mouse is a legend.
Original unopened go for over $200 on eBay.
SteelSeries limited editions go for over $100 on eBay.
Don't pass this up, it's getting rare again.
