It seems Microsoft heard my complaints; the company today introduced the $60 Pro Intellimouse, which keeps its predecessor’s classic shape but adds gamer-friendly features like a new sensor, improved key actuation, customizable buttons, and a textured gradient finish. There’s even a solitary RGB light this time around. Specifically, that sensor is a Pixart 3389 – making this the first IntelliMouse to not use a Microsoft-designed sensor. That’s probably for the best; Pixart is known to make arguably the best gaming sensors on the market. They’re used in mice from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, Zowie, and more. Unlike the Microsoft BlueTrack sensor on the 2017 IntelliMouse, the Pixart 3389 won’t limit your gaming performance. That makes the pertinent variable the mouse’s design and build quality.
