I've compared the intellimouse optical to the intellimouse explorer and i can't seem to find any differences between them to justify the difference in money. AM i missing something???

I think that the explorer is bigger and has an extra thumb button.

Try them out sometime in Staples or something. Buy the one that fits your hand. If you are a lefty, get the Optical. Even if you aren't, the Explorer will fit your hand better IMO. I have one.

Save your money and buy Logitech Optical mouse. I just bought one and it rocks. It comes with a 5 year warranty. It has all the features except the side buttons. It also only cost $29.95 at Best Buy.

I got my mouse for two reasons:
(a)It had no ball
(b)I liked it's size - little mice suck

Logitech has a nice mouse that is quite long. I tried it out in Staples once and liked it very much. If only they made it with no ball... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif
