Title: Mouse Match for White Realforce?
Post by: Keylamity on Fri, 18 March 2011, 22:44:55

The elegant white of the new Realforce 86U is really not going well, aesthetically, with the Logitech M570 black and blue trackball.

Anyone have a suggestion for a mouse that might pair up well with a white Realforce?  My trackpad is about as good as I can get right now.

Thanks,

First 4 mice that come to mind are:

Zowie EC 1 and EC 2 (White) 500-1000-2000 DPI- I've personally never used.
Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 Legends Edition (only available at Best Buy) 400 DPI- Scroll wheel craps out over time due to cheap encoder.  Feels cheap.
Intellimouse  Optical 1.1 (White) 400 DPI- Scroll wheel craps out over time due to cheap encoder. Feels cheap.
Wheel Mouse Optical (White) 400 DPI- Scroll wheel craps out over time due to cheap encoder.  Feels cheap.

Of course my suggestions are based on gaming mice, so there's going to be more options out there.

Get a Zowie EC1, or EC2 white.
Also you can get a white edition of the Steelseries Ikari, or the XAI Ruse edition.

I suggest you to wait for the Kinzu White Edition (http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/803343/210865817-386265895/NEW-Arrival-Steelseries-Kinzu-White-Edition-Gaming-Mouse-Free-Fast-Shipping-Original-Brand-NEW-In-Box.html).

I seriously wonder why they abandoned that shape in the first place. It was a good design.
Here's a Microsoft Mouse 2.0 presentation (http://www.guidebookgallery.org/ads/slideshows/microsoftmouse20) that some of you may remember.

Too add one more option to the list, Logitech M-BT58 and similar OEM rodents are also available in white. I've been using my old M-BJ58 since 2003 at least, and it has resisted yellowing reasonably well, thinks in part to a slight bluish tint (old trick).
