MS Intellimouse 3.0 replacements?

Meddling-Monk · 30 Dec 2014 at 19:10

Hi all. Anyone have any recommendations on any mice that are as close to the Intellimouse 3.0 as possible?

Had both 3.0's die on me in some fashion in the last 3 weeks after many years of use and gaming abuse. (Multi Click debounce issue on primary buttons, and side button broken)

One is for gaming use.
One is for general use.

So both doesn't need to be the same.

Thanks all.

Deathadder, CM Storm Alcor, SS Rival.

Also to consider, Avior 7000, G502, G302, Mizar (same as Alcor, with ADNS-9800).

Rvial or EC1 are the closest things to an intelli mouse imo.

Love them both can't tell you which i prefer.

Don't like the EC1. Weird fit for me.

Thanks all, the Rival sounds and looks exactly what I'm after. I'll probably grab one of the others to try out for the other system.

Intellimouse was my go to for thirteen years.(1.1)

Sourcing cheap replacements became harder, so I dropped steel series sensei raw after hearing it was a good comparison.

No regrets.

I might try grabbing a Raw Sensei with the Rival then. See which one feels better and then place it on the gaming unit. Thanks.

the rival destroys the sensei imo.

I had some lift off issues with the sensei, but ultimately I just couldn't get used to it, it felt so flat in my paw.

I have the Sensai RAW and find it very much like the Intellimouse. It's a great mouse.
