It may be unpalatable to some but I have always found Microsoft branded hardware to be very good. I've got one of the original Explorer mice from 10 years ago still working. It's had a lot of use too. Whereas a Logitech that my wife bought me for Xmas a couple of years has already died. Logitech were less than helpful when I asked for help from them too.
I don't find it unpalatable, I just don't support a company that has been convicted of suppressing competition in an illegal manner. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
