looks like it would go nicely with the G5 towers or new monitors or laptop

I'd have to touch it. I bought a kensignton mouse because it "looked" cool only to find out that I hate the way if feels in my hand.

of course...i would also have to see how it slides, how it tracks, how the scroll wheel feels, how the buttons click....

but MS usually makes nice and solid mice

Looks like something Georgia O'Keeffe would paint.

As much as I despise nearly everything about microsoft, it seems that they manufacture excellent mice.

Plus... it's fun to watch people's faces when they see a MS mouse hooked to a Mac. First thing they say is "I didn't know that would work? How'd you get it to work." To this I reply, "I plugged it in".

I wonder what color the LED underneath is...

Are there any manufacturers that use anything other than a red LED for the tracking sensor?

I have used MS mice for years, and next to apple keyboards, the feel of MS ones are next on my list.

I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft, but the 5-button Intellimouse Optical is one of the best I've ever used. There's no way I'd ever go back to any of my previous mice now.

I don't want to judge the quality of women you've been with, but I find the red to be a little closer in look. I mean, I've never been with a blue girl, so I wouldn't know which is better, so I won't judge, but red has always done me well

LOL... okay, prepare yourself for the innuendo post of the century...

A bearded clam:


The Hershey highway:


Locomotive in a tunnel:


Shaved pussy:


And it looks like this guy's taking his skin boat to tuna town:


Completely off topic, but I just couldn't resist!

I live 30-40 min from hershey. It's weird that that sign would be on the internet...I mean 322 becomes "main st" when it goes through my town. Out of all the roads that lead to hershey...322 was picked...I'm not sure why, but I think that is really neat Actually, 322 (it becomes a road, not a highway...it's not a very impressive highway either, it's small, mostly two lanes) runs right by my house.



Star = My House
W. Main = 322

Wish I remembered where to get a satellite photo so I could explain myself better...don't want you guys thinking I live beside a highway


Moving to AO haha

Someone said how this forum is better because of the lack of political baiting and attacks...but the sexual innuendoes and comments are rampant

Mooooooving back on topic… ;-)

This mouse looks gorgeous. Plan to get hold of one as soon as I can. Can't decide between the orange and the blue though, both have their advantages. I've read though that the entire area to the left and right of the glowing strip acts as the button though. This suits me in general - especially as a current user of an Apple Pro Mouse, where I just press anywhere north of the Apple Logo for it to work - but can't quite imagine how it's going to work in a two buttoned context. Will aim to get my hand on one before purchasing anyway.

Here Here!!!!

I personaly do not like the Microsoft mice nearly as much as Logitech's MX mice, particularly the MX 300 [GREAT for gaming].

The other mouse that I like a lot is not even a mouse, but is a trackball by Kesington, the Orbit.

I thought you'd be more impressed that the street lights around hershey are hershey kisses.
