Where did you buy it from? Must be a mod of sorts

I have had one that says 1.1a in the bottom and has grey ish sides, others that dont say 1.1a in the bottom but are supposedly legit and are all black, and there are variations in strenght of the mousewheel rotation

I dont know what to think anymore. Mine were bought from ebay except the first one which I bought ages ago in a local online shop. None came with original packaging.

from some shop which had ~300 of them through polish Allegro (ebay equivalent)...

the plug looks like the original one, and i doubt someone modded 300 of WMOs and now sells them for a little more than 4$ :D

Link PLEASE?!
Would you reship them to germany for 20€?

here's the link bro: https://allegro.pl/myszka-optyczna-microsoft-...92933.html

could you first try to ask the seller if he can ship it to germany, please? If the seller won't be able to help you, I'm sure we could arrange the shipment.

Anyway, let me do some testing first, so you won't be disappointed (didn't have any time to have a quality look this week).

what I've found so far:

1. The cable seem to be identical or just slightly bigger in diameter - can't tell for sure, because white objects seem bigger in comparison to dark ones. But... The cable is longer - photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jkp5e98f574fwvb/IMG_0319.jpg?dl=0
2. The plastic is a little bit different - its more transparent - the red light goes through it photo:https://www.dropbox.com/s/5468h9pmetxyt77/IMG_0320.jpg?dl=0


I don't know if its some weird refub, but if you're selling some weird old MS mice for 4$, why even care and refubrish it in the first place (where's profit in this) or wtf?. Maybe these come from some messed up production line?

The sensor felt great (but as I mentioned I just toyed around with it just briefly).

Hey mate,

talked to the seller,

he can only write in polish and i have a hard time understanding/translating it with google, and additionally his time to reply is way above 24hrs.

Would you mind ordering 1-2 for me and ship them to germany?
I would pay you through paypal first, so you are on the safe site here.

If i understood him correctly he wanted me to pay first, but didnt provide any paypal info. If you do not want to ship as a middlemen, could you talk to him in polish and get his paypal and help me with the communication?
So i could atleast pay him for 2-3 wmos + shipping and be safe, that he will be able to ship within a reasonable timeframe?

Best regards and thanks in advance!

Is the cable exactly the same but white color?

I heard that there used to be counterfeit wmo's around. Maybe these are.

this is really weird - inside it looks legit to my eye, but maybe you could shed some light? :)

Looks fine to me, I guess they might have been made for some company on a large bulk order, and they asked for white cables, or they didn't care about the cable colour and they just somehow ended up white.

This thread has some awesome images in it for comparison.

Sensor real, rest is Chinese counterfeit.

Bought 2 to test and resell for 25-30€, because that is easily what you get on german eBay. =PROFIT $$$

i bought 3 wmo's from there (same site, different seller) and i even made a post about it to find out if they are legit - http://esreality.com/post/2644078/need-confir...-fake-one/

anyways, seems a bit strange to me that on this page u have WMO and IMO pics, and there's nowhere written its wmo or imo, just "microsoft mouse". So i guess u can get IMO from there as well. Also those wmo's i bought costed me about 12 euro while these are being sold for about 4 euro. Way cheaper, but still i guess u got same wmo i did. Custom cable, transparent plastic.

these wmo's i have are really good, i mean, i buy these wmo's since 5 years. One last for about a year (max 2) then they just stop working or get some issues but u can simply buy another one (4 euro per year for a mouse isnt a bad deal) but still u get 1 year warranty for these so i guess its worth buying.

Mine doesn't have that NOM mark and the other thing at the right..

What do you mean "they just stop working"?

sensor randomly stops working for a sec or two, after some time it happens more often until it stops working completly. That happend for 2 of my wmo's after about a 1,5y of using.

Wmo that i use now i bought april '17 and so far its working good. No issues at all.

Are you sure it's not the cable or some accumulated dust on the lens?

nope, as i said, issue happens from time to time, apart from that it works fine but after some time it dies completly. After that i opened it to clean it up in hopes that i maybe resurrect it but didnt help. Didnt see any damages inside either. Has to be sensor issue, but cant blame it, these mices are 2nd or who knows which hand. It could have been used for 10 years before i bought these.

Never saw a legit WMO / IMO / IME 3.0, that has other problems than the classical cord / microswitch / need new feet combo (had 9 years old IMO, 7 years old IME etc. - without ANY issue whatsoever). : /

u know, they are all 10+ years old when u buy them. WMO's arent immortal, anyways that happend to 2 of 4 wmo's i had. Other 2 are working still with no issues. And i dont care tbh, they are cheap af, i can afford buying new one every year or so :)

I found one of these on eBay a while back. It came in pretty bad shape, but I have never come across one of these since. Blue shell, white side and base (slight yellowing), with a grey scroll wheel and USB cable. The USB cable is thicker than the original cables found on WMO and IntelliMouse.
