Microsoft launches new ergonomic mouse Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse
Microsoft launched the first Microsoft-branded IntelliMouse mouse 23 years ago and then released the Classic IntelliMouse classic version in 2017. The company said that each update will bring additional performance gains, which is a great desktop mouse to provide users with a richer operating experience. For example, the classic version of 2017 brings faster tracking sensors, improved button feel, and the ability to bring the iconic taillight back to Microsoft’s mouse. At the end of last year, Microsoft also launched the ProMite Mouse Pro IntelliMouse, but it was designed specifically for game users, which is slightly different from the one mentioned in this article. Today, Microsoft launches new ergonomic mouse Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse.
Microsoft said, “It has an upgraded tracking sensor to capture everything from the smallest flicks to the largest gestures with greater speed. In a nod to modern gaming, there are subtle design updates inspired by the shadow and gradients that are popular on Xbox accessories. It features improved key actuation, a textured finish and a braided cable to stand up to the most demanding users. Its buttons feel more responsive and are more reliable than ever and are easy to customize in the Windows Mouse and Keyboard Center. You can even customize the color of the taillight to match your mood, your surroundings, or your custom setup.”
