New Microsoft mice with "tilt" wheels

Sounds good. I'll probably pick one up and see how it goes. There are like four or five variants with this new wheel, and all but one of them are wireless. I'll get the one with the cable for $40 and if it works out I'll give that one to my wife and get one of the pricier wireless models.

The new MS wireless keyboards also have this wheel on the lefthand side, which would be awesome, but I'd really prefer a wired keyboard and I'm not ever going to give up my IBM clicky keyboard. They should make a keyboard companion thingy that has the wheel and whatever other "media" buttons etc that you could use with any keyboard.

So far me likey. The wheel action is awesome. The middle click requires more force than my old mouse, but thats ok.

Crap. I got a lemon. It middle-clicked about 15 times and now it doesn't do anything when I click the wheel. POS.

That's no problem. Call em up (microsoft) and they'll send you a new one.
