Only took them 10 years to make a proper replacement? The 4.0 was poor and it died after that. IE3.0 was probably the last decent mouse M$ made. Sadly I don't expect M$ to use a proper sensor on this one it will be some office cheaper type.

If it comes with 3360 or better, resolves the IE3.0 issues, then I would buy it.

"Tracking is now even more precise with a DPI range up to 3200"

I'm not quite sure they realize how bold such a statement is. Or even what they're suggesting...at all.

lol @ this potentially being one of the most hyped (and concurrently, biggest potential letdowns) in mouse history.

Certainly could be. Let's hope they do it right.

I don't think they do. But they are aimed at office drones and consumers. OCN mouse snobs will likely shop elsewhere anyways.

Can you imagine if the sensor is actually some custom 3360 or better and they come out saying: " We know the MLT04 was amazing, it had high fps and a raw feel that everyone "in the know" revered. We have now perfected this newest sensor to be a worthy successor. We know that dpi higher than 3200 is pointless (obviously, duh) so we cut all the bs and here it is, the best mouse ever - Your friends at Microsoft"

I mean - This is Microsoft we're talking about.

On one hand I feel like Microsoft knows that the only people who still care about the IME3.0 are the gamers who'd want a good sensor, but on the other hand, Microsoft.

You think the older one was lighter? Nah, it wasn't, did it bother people who used it, not really that much if at all, the grip is more important, weight comes aftewards.

Microsoft BlueTrack, oh well probably yet another crap sensor as all their other mice.

The good thing is, they are probably making it in China and someone will reuse the mold and put in different internals, sell it on gray market.

Likely the weight with cable. But sensor means it's not worth a damn anyway.

The original was something like 105-110g without cable, which is actually pretty light for a mouse of its size.
