It’s a nice looking mouse. It kind of looks like the original Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer – the first optical mouse I ever saw. I owned one for about 5 years before I had to replace it.
The optional wire is a nice touch. Battery die? Just plug in and keep going. Interference from too many wireless mice in the area (something I’ve had problems with at LAN parties)? Just plug in and keep going.
The price tag is a little high though
