Have never had this mouse for people but the following may be said:
The scroll wheel and side buttons need some getting used to. The wheel may sound a bit noisy and the side buttons little, but "deep" pressure.
For the Intelli 3.0 users a nice sound and feeling for the "newcomers" perhaps annoying.
For me, the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 is a unique 5 star product!
