I've just got the IntelliMouse Explorer. I had problems at first on my Simpson's mouse
mat, but then I tried it straight onto the desk top. It's very good and I have no problems
with it at speed. I bought it to play Quake X with, but I haven't had the chance yet.
It has a USB connector as well as a PS/2. So has anyone got a USB interface for the RCX
yet?
It seems to get a little warm though, so I think it would drain the batteries a bit fast.
There's also no easy way to open her up.
