I am trying to find a brand new MS Intellimouse Optical Explorer 3.0, the original from 2002/2003, not the remake.

Or tip me off to where to find one, i've tried all over.

Thanks!

are you referring to the grey ergonomic (for right handers only) one? because not many people like this one.

or are you talking about the white one that's round and can be used leftie and/or rightie? this is the one that people seem to love. this one isn't called an explorer.

perhaps a picture to clarify.

Grey one with like 5 buttons. The white one you can still buy new at Office Depot.

I think that is the remake he mentions, because I believe the original was more of a light gray.

There seems to be 80 version of the Intellimouse 3.0. I think have a beige one in the box I'd sell if that's what he's looking for.

I'm fairly sure I have one somewhere in the packaging, but if not, they're all over ebay.

That's just the intellimouse optical, he's looking for that black one with the two side buttons but it had a silver finish to it, I have a like new one but it's OEM.

It has a tilt wheel now but other than that the design is the same.

I bought it at pcclub without the shipping costs, newegg has them cheaper though.

It has to be grey. The white one pictured is not the same. It should be an "Intellimouse Optical Explorer 3.0" - that is the EXACT name and it was made in 2002/2003. There is a current remake that sports the SAME name but they changed the scroll wheel on it. I'm looking for the original.

Here are two up on ebay for your reference (and both are used so I don't want them obviously):

Microsoft Gaming Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 Mouse @@@!@@ - (eBay item 230200175938 end time Dec-12-07 14:46:23 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Microsoft-Gaming-Intellimouse-Explorer-3-0-Mouse_W0QQitemZ2302001759 38QQihZ013QQcategoryZ1163 05QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1 QQcmdZViewItem)

Thanks for the interest so far and if you do have this exact item, and it is brand new, I am still very interested.


edit: and comatoast - your "beige" one still in the box sounds like it might be the one, if it is let me know man!

Wait, what? The one comatoast is talking about is the original "Intellimouse Optical" with the buttons on each side, the one you're linking to on ebay is an "Intellimouse Explorer 3.0".

oh well, good luck in your search.
