But be sure if that your 6 year old mouse&keyboard combo's power supplie dies, Micro$oft will not send you the newest combo to make you happy.

I havent heard the 5500, but my x530 arent that great...

**[XC] Oj101** · 01-12-2008, 02:02 AM

Oh ok, X530 is entry level 5.1

**marauder16** · 01-12-2008, 03:45 AM

OMG, lol I have to speed up my keyboard and mouse purchase, I mean, poor Logitech

**Gig4moller** · 01-12-2008, 05:04 AM

Let's hope this be true. Mix of the two greatest mice in history anyone?

IME3 sensor + MX518 shell... hmmmm...

I love my X-530, one of the best buys I've ever done. Didn't think I could get such sound quality for that budget and I wanted as good sound quality as possible for as little cash as possible and then this is great as it lacks of features etc. which doesn't concern me. Crystal clear treble with better subwoofer sound that expected for such small drive. But it sucks now when I moved into a dorm I can't really turn up the bass at all so I use headphones now.

I pray this won't happen, Logitech is my fav mice & computer speaker manufacturer.

Because less competition is ALWAYS a bad thing.

Btw I think logitech will be better if micosoft buy it

Why not? Several ppl on here use linux as their main OS, mysef included.

Meh, I don't like the direction Logitech has been heading in over the past 7 years, myself.

I'm actually surprised by this, as M$ has been in bed with Razer for a while now.

QFT

I'd think they just merge their lines. Microsoft may just ditch their tech and just carry on with Logitech's.

**The_Beast** · 01-12-2008, 11:22 AM

I hope they don't

Kinda Really all they did was pay Razer some money to make some products with the Microsoft name on it. When they didn't sell worth a crap and the other Razer products without the Microsoft name on them sold tremendously more, now they are looking in other directions. Cause it was obvious Razer consumers didnt give a crap about Microsoft.

Great another company that will be destroyed by another company that has too much money.

how the hell do you know that??

ffs Ms bashing is just getting really boring.

why not , Better driver support , maybe inbuilt os and logitech features , It might bring some awesome innovation.

Hope it happens

**JoeBar** · 01-12-2008, 01:08 PM

Hope this won't become reality...

**lazy** · 01-12-2008, 04:39 PM

as long as MS doesnt destroy whats already good then i dont see a problem..

oh yea.. and as long as hey don raise the prices...

maybe i should just ask for world peace while im at it?

**Zytek_Fan** · 01-12-2008, 04:41 PM

I would have expected Microsoft to acquire Razer, not Logitech...

Ofcourse they will raise the prices, thats the whole point. M$ was built by one of the smartest business man, Ballmer and Gates are both very smart business man, they might be alittle wacky but really they are ruthless.

I find this statement a bit ironic considering your sig

**Cold Fussion** · 01-12-2008, 11:40 PM

If this happens, we can say good buy to third party ps3 peripherals.

**ANP !!!** · 01-13-2008, 01:59 AM

I hope they dont make the mices and keyboards Vista exclusive

**JasonDTM** · 01-13-2008, 02:31 AM

I loved my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0... It lasted a good five or six years before the age caught up with it. It still works but has intermittent connection issues.

Ehm, probably a shoddy cable with insulating laquer that over time, ground away and now you occasionally short the mouse out. Try replacing the cable, or cutting away the section that's been worn and re-contacting it.

**ZhaoYun** · 01-13-2008, 05:13 PM

If this ever happens anytime soon, expect mice to be more expensive and inadequate.

Agreed, I have a Razer Diamondback and my hands are pretty large (mostly the fingers)
