    Bought a Microsoft Explorer 3 mouse. Ad: Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 Used very little and in perfect condition $25 shipped

    Executioner was the Seller on January 31, 2003 ArsTechnica

    After exchanging a couple of emails, I received the mouse in a timely manner. Upon connecting the mouse to my USB port, I noticed that it did not properly work on the Windows desktop. It would take me several clicks on links before they would open. I have the latest Intellipoint software installed (v4.01). I've played around with all the settings to no avail. Clicking on any item on the desktop takes several tries including folders. I know it's the mouse because I tried my son's Explorer mouse and it works perfect. I tried to contact Kevin twice via email, but no response on both occasions. Lucky for me, Microsoft is going to send me a new mouse. Also, part of the deal was to send me the driver disk with the mouse which I never received. I had to download the drivers from the net.

    In my email conversations with Kevin before I bought the mouse, I asked:
    =============================
    >(me)Saw your for sale ad on ARS. What does the MS Explorer mouse come with?"
    >(kevin)It comes with a driver cd and usb to ps2 adapter. Just lmk
    >(me)Whey you say "used very little", what does that mean (couple of weeks,months)? Sorry for the dumb question but I'm a gamer and I just want to make sure it does not have a lot of mileage on it and it works lilke it was
    almost brand new.
    >(kevin)I used it at most 2 weeks. I really couldnt get used to it compared to a
    normal ball mouse. You can send non-cc paypal to:
    =============================
    Since I've not heard from Kevin through email, and because of the condition of the mouse, I'm leaving Kevin a neutral rating on this deal.

    Response from kehi
    This was never resolved with heat due to the fact that my emails were never responded to. The reason the emails were not answered was because oy myself moving into a new place and lack of internet. This was cleared up between myself and the buyer one day after this eval was left. The buyer told me that everything was ok and that wanted to get this eval removed from my profile. I forwarded the buyers response with the statement above to heat to pursue the eval being removed but no response was ever given by heat.
