Microsoft Intellimouse Optical is dying. What new mouse?

[Lord Kordir]

As thread title really.

I play a lot of FPSs and the cordless mice I've used in the past have been slightly laggy in games.

ANy suggestions people?

Logitech MX500 if you like a cord, otherwise the MX700

Oh I didn't know that. I though it was only three years and I can't find the receipt. Reckon they'll need it? Got any contact numbers?

I have an mx700 and it does not lag at all in any games. The only things that lag in FPS games is my brain and reactions.

Nope

You just ring them, they ask for the serial number, and send you one out

0870 60 10 100

Ask for "microsoft direct services"

[Lord Kordir]

The mx700 sounds like a great mouse. How long does the battery last in between charges?

btw thanks Agent!

[Lord Kordir]

Well I've just given MS a ring and being the honest guy I am told them the exact model I had. I was kinda tempted to tell them I had the Bluetooth model but I don't think I would have gotten away with it!

Anyway they're sending me a out a replacement within the week!

glad to hear that m8

[Lord Kordir]

I've got Agent to thank for suggesting it. I wouldn't have rang them if it weren't for him.

Well, I tend to use it most of the day then stick it in it's charger when I go to bed, and it's never run out of juice. If you're really hardcore it lasts about 3 days of constant use before the little red light lets you know it needs more power, but obviously it'll last longer if you don't use it as much

Yep lasts bloody ages, ive used mine for days straigt without charging (due to forgetting lol).

Did they ask for your old mouse back?

[Lord Kordir]

Did they ask for your old mouse back?

Nope . SO I'm hoping that mouse problems are a temporary glitch

[Clstrphbc_donut]

So you could get a free mouse courtesy of Bill Gates??? Say your old is broke, and get another....FREE!?!?! Sounds good

[Agent]

They usualy always do ask for your old one back !!

Strange !
