    Question Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Explorer 3.0

    Is it more comfortable?

    What other new features does it have compared to the last version (2.0?)?

    Anyone tried it or both 2.0 and 3.0?

    Yeah, I've got both versions. The 3.0, imo, is better than the 2.0. The feel is a little more natural since the body isn't as wide at the base as it was with the 2.0. The buttons are slightly curved to better accomodate your fingers, but they make a noticably louder sound when pressed. The side buttons were made smaller which can be either good or bad depending on how you look at it. The wheel is a little more stiff on the 3.0, but it's nothing horrible. All in all, I like it due to the more natural feel.
