+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted October 13, 2005 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 13, 2005 The design appealed to me and it was more important than functionality (extra buttons). Also, I loved how light it was compared to wireless mice with batteries. Unfortunately it didn't last very long :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/384230-microsoft-mouse-by-starck/page/2/#findComment-586664224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the point of this topic was not why I bought it, but why I threw it away three months after. I just wanted to share the photos and as you noticed I didn't blame Microsoft or Starck, I just presented the facts. No need for flames, grow up, kthx.

Leddy Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 My intellimouse explorer 3 has no problems, except for the part where your thumb goes wearing off. It's not that noticable.

LispyGlitter2 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 so...we were just supposed to buy this mouse because it was "a work of art"? Ugh. Stupid mouse.

BigGiantHead Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 That's very strange as Microsoft's hardware products are excellent. But the design of this mouse put me off from buying it anyway.

Lare2 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 That's what i call "cheapy profuct" , Put it on eBay and sell it like a unique item. Call it "The Cow Mouse" by MS.

InternalStorm Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 They are practically giving these mouses away now. Not sure why anyone would buy it in the first place, I mean, it doesn't even fit the hand properly...

Quillz Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I would have bought it if a wireless & optical version was available.

Vieira Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 My Microsoft Optical Mouse 2.0 has the same problem, but only with the logo. I thought that I was the only one , but from what I am seeing, I'm very lucky for my mouse doesn't look like a cow yet. :p The warranty should cover this kind of things... :yes: Maybe Microsoft should work on software and let some other companies do something, without buying them :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/384230-microsoft-mouse-by-starck/page/2/#findComment-586704850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenieMORTY Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have this mouse too. Mine have the same problem with you, but at the both left and right side of the mouse instead the whole thing. I brought this mouse because of its design and yes, just its design. I brought it in discount price :D Using it for almost a year. Note: The box of this mouse is great, Im now filling it with a vaio logo paper and here a pic of it: :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/384230-microsoft-mouse-by-starck/page/2/#findComment-586705092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaguratuS Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The backside of my MX700 is starting to turn white, but I've put this mouse through some extremely heavy use for the past year. I go through a MS keyboard a month, the plastic literally wears away and the handrest and spacebar.

Manksgloob Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hopping on the "Microsoft Hardware isn't ALL crap" boat: I've had an IntelliMouse Optical since early 1999. I've used it daily for several hours at a time. It didn't die until June of 2005. Postmortem: The Microsoft logo had long rubbed off of the back, and the plastic did have a slight aged-yellow tinge, but the sticker and feet on the underside were all still firmy attached. Seven years of daily use? I hadn't even bothered counting until it actually started acting up. It was a hearty mouse and I was extremely pleased with it, so I went out and purchased a brand new one of the same model. (Granted, it has a far better optical sensor now, but that's a GOOD thing.)
