The
IntelliMouse Explorer is one in Microsoft's family of
ball-free mouse products using digital optical tracking
technology. Sporting the silver detailing, signature red
taillight, and glowing underside made popular by the
original IntelliMouse Explorer, this model features an
enhanced optical sensor for higher responsiveness.
Microsoft IntelliEye optical technology
changes the way people use a mouse by removing the ball,
thereby providing more control and accuracy and
eliminating the need for mouse pads and cleaning.
IntelliEye technology provides accuracy and durability by
replacing the mouse ball with an optical sensor and
digital signal processor (DSP). The sensor captures
snapshots of the work surface at a rate of 6,000 images
per second, and the DSP translates changes of the images
into onscreen movements. The Microsoft IntelliMouse
Optical works with both Macs and PCs!!
