I have a Microsoft Mouse 1.1 intellimouse that perfectly fills my needs (games: FPS as CS, Q3 ... of video editing on Adobe Premiere ...). Since this mouse is no longer available (or at least at a reasonable price) I opted for the V2 as backup Kana mouse. This mouse is very similar to intellimouse but I think my right hand prefers microsoft mouse. If you loved the intellimouse 1.1 and are looking for an equivalent mouse, I suggest you this model. In any case, I regret not having bought one or two intellimouse 1.1 backup.
