Looking for equivalent to MS intellimouse 3 wired
the intellimouse has excellent tracking that matches with your eye movement Ive noticed.
But it's difficult to find an Intellimouse anymore
Does anyone know an equivalent in the tracking ability similar?

The next best mice are the Logitech range.
See http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-910-001204-Corded-Mouse-M500/dp/B002B3YCQM for example. YMMV.
For more precision you may need the Gaming mouse in their range but that's Intellimouse pricing.

I like the SW for the intellimouse. It moves very intuitively. Im using a logitech m510 and the mouse mvmt is not very intuitive
ASKER
Does anyone know if the logitech moves like the intellimouse?
there are used, and refurbished ones also - if you need them cheaper
i have used logitech mouse often - and have no problems
in fact, i'm using one right now

If you've ever used the intellimouse and experienced the movement, you'd notice the difference
maybe - i won't contradict you
but in what cases is it useful - better?

ok. Sensitivity is good but w/o good control and intuitiveness, sensitivity is useless

I dont quite know how to explain it but my logitech mouse does not have it. The intellimouse does not feel out of control like the logitech mouse.
It's hard to explain

Perhaps if it seem out of control, the accelleration is set too high, so you're overshooting your destination?
Is your logitech one of the recent, high-end, ones?

No, Ive tried all settings.
I actually bought an intellimouse from ebay and it's a knock-off so trying to return that.

ASKER
Anybody?
i never found much difference between mice - unless you take into consideration if you like them (size, and feel)
i use gladly any one, they're fine nowadays

Then possibly considering buying a new one, exactly like the one you have, on Ebay for under $30 and free shipping.
As you stated in your question it is hard to find. No it is not if you go with Ebay. If you can afford it buy two so you have a spare many years from now. Mice do not last forever.

Checking into Steel series .....
ASKER
I ordered a steeleseries finally. I'll let you all know how it works when I get it next week
ASKER
steel series is pretty good tracking. however it does not have the same palm shape as the Intellimouse so I found a used intellimouse and will hope it's ok
ASKER
I found a used intellimouse too.
