The Classic Intellimouse favors righties, and includes the traditional wired “tail”. “We saw this as an opportunity to improve on an icon by updating it with modern technology.” Microsoft “We’ve reached a point where tracking and switch technology and price has matured immensely,” Dearsley said. The key improvements are in the switch and tracking technology, updating the components for the modern era. In fact, Simon Dearsley, Devices Design Director at Microsoft, said this week that some of the components in the new Classic Intellimouse remain the same as those in the original Intellimouse 3.0, its inspiration. Fans of the classic Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0 from 2003 can now buy an updated version, which, Microsoft has promised, is true to the spirit of the original.
