The classic mouse is back and better than before. You all know the intellimouse so I won't waste my breath explaining the history of this PC tech legend. You can still pick up the originals if you want to drop $140 in the American jungle.

I have no more details than what is available from the US Microsoft website. No ETA, no EAN, no confirmed UK price, nothing. But I thought you guys would want to get pre-orders on to avoid disappointment.

I have added £5.00 to what I think the RRP will be in case they come out more expensive when they finally land in the UK. I will match whatever the price is on the Microsoft UK website should they be made publicly available and we can secure stock. Any pre-orders will be honoured at the lower price, mine or the RRP.

As more info comes out I will update here. Apologies for the potato pictures. There isn't much better available with a white background.

I'm excited about this as I used to swear by the original back in the day, but at £45 it's just too expensive. £25-30 max and I would snap one up in a heartbeat.

It's advertised as $40 on the Microsoft website.

Everything I've listed recently the RRP has matched the dollar price in GBP. As I said in the OP I've added £5 to this in case the exchange rate worsens between now and then but I will service all pre-orders at the UK RRP or my price, whichever is lower.


Everyone posting about the price difference between 10 years ago and should consider the changes in exchange rates and also inflation. 10 years ago at today's exchange rate the mouse would have cost you 67% more.

Inflation from 10 years ago to now would have added a further 25% averaged at 2.5% a year (this month it is over 3%).

If we say the original cost ten years ago was £20 then today's price should be £41.75, so the £39.99 price is actually less expensive than the £20 mouse you bought 10 years ago. Read first post if you want to know why I have listed for now at £45.

I might have to buy a few so I never have to struggle buying a mouse again. I miss my old one, but it got the double click curse :(

Don't bankrupt yourself!!! XD

No trading outside the MM please.
Mods sort this guy out...
/s

If I seriously thought he'd sell them to us (let alone the business allowing me to buy from an independent trader with no rights of return), and the transaction was to sell on the OcUK website, then that would be a point of law I'd have to take to the Supreme Moderator Court of Appeal... :)
