I have the optical 5 button Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer and have gotten
it replaced for free. Called Microsoft and 2 or 3 days later I had a new
one. It came with a limited lifetime warranty. Don't know what the limited
part means.

Several times I've come across references to Microsoft offering a
(unofficial?) lifetime warranty on their mice. If this is true it
would be very nice for me; I have a couple of high-end dead Microsoft
mice I bought several years ago (a wireless intellimouse explorer and
a intellimouse explorer 3). Using Microsoft Canada support gets me
nowhere because it does not accept the Product IDs I have on the
bottom of the mice. Should I dump dead mice in the garbage or is there
still some value to them? Thanks.
