Microsoft Classic IntelliMouse
Introductory price 42.95 €
Always as pleasant to use, the IntelliMouse has done well to return in this Classic version. We would have appreciated an even faster sensor for video games, but this is reserved for the Pro version, which unfortunately has not yet crossed the Atlantic. Nevertheless, for office automation, the BlueTrack sensor proves to be quite convincing, and that is ultimately the main thing.
