You're thinking of the Intellimouse w/ Intellieye. The Intellimouse Optical has the same number of buttons as the Explorer, but the buttons are on either side, making it suitable for lefties as well. The Explorer has the extra buttons as thumb buttons for righties. The shape of the Explorer also is a little larger and more ergonomic.

On top of all that, the M$ warranty for the Optical is three years, while the warranty on the Explorer is a lifetime.

well i traded mice with this guy from r2k. the led on it is a little dim and the m$ logo is worn off, but otherwise i like it. the larger size is nice since i keep the sensitivity up high, and i think it feels smoother in general. also the mousewheel isn't as fux0red.

i really dont see the point of wireless peripherals unless you really have a really really cluttered desk or you have a legit use for one (like a friend of mine who uses a wireless mouse and a 15" lcd screen in his car to play mp3's from his puter in the trunk...very spiffy!)
