Summary: Great feel but bad mouse
Review: I guess I'm a gluten for punishment but this is the 2nd of these that I've gone through now. It couldn't be designed to fit your hand any better, at least mine, but the problems are in the electronics on the inside. It's hard to wake up, sticks to everything but the most glossy smooth surfaces, and seems to go through batterys like a digital camera. The problem is with the batterys, maybe this is just rechargables but on both units, with just normal use the batterys have exploded inside the mouse and ruined the electronics inside. The second time I was using the mouse when it popped and fryed itself.
I don't recommend this mouse as much as I love how it fits my hand...it needs to work longer than a few months, especially for the price.

Summary: Comfort-heaven for the right-handers but Battery Sucker =/
Review: I've had this mouse for close to a year (10 months) and I have to admit that it's comfortable for the right hand. I'm a leftie but I've conformed into using the right hand when using the mouse. This mouse is obviously not for lefties as those two thumb buttons on the side are for going forward/back very useful when browsing the net ^_~.If you plan to purchase this mouse, I highly recommend INVESTING in RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES with a recharger! I find Panasonic rechargeable batteries last far better than Energizer's rechargeable batteries. Buy a 4 AA pack, 2 for the mouse and the other 2 as a backup when the pair in the mouse runs out! Aside from the battery consumption, I am disappointed in the fact that the scroll wheel is a bit DEFECTIVE! I use the mouse everyday for work so I guess the scroll wheel is worned-out. The pressure for the scroll wheel is not functioning properly. When scrolling fast up/down it now clicks on it, which does not allow me to access my other windows being minimize. I have to go 'crazy' with the scroll wheel so it'll click again so I can access the minimized windows. Very FRUSTRATING!!! =/

Summary: Watch out for Windows 2003 support
Review: I just bought this mouse. I assumed it would be supported on Windows 2003. The basic functionality is there - left and right buttons and scroll wheel, but the software won't install to provide the functionality of the other buttons and button programmability.

Summary: Great mouse, BUT TOO MANY FLAWS
Review: Oh where to begin, i have used this thing for close to two weeks now and i dont seem to overlook the flaws. Let me start off with the pros. PROS:
1. Wireless
2. Responsive more than other wireless mice
3. GREAT placement of thumb and back button CONS:
1. Not as responsive as wired mice
2. Not accurate, when you move your mouse, it sort of jumps rather than scroll from its original point.
3. Does not move smoothly, this is because of the bottom corners sticking.
4. Goes to sleep mode every so often. To sum everything up, get this mouse if its just for internet browsing. If for gaming or photoshop, this mouse would not be what youre looking for.

Summary: The Best Mouse I have ever used
Review: I have used lots of mice, but this one really stands out, this one is the best one I have used by far. It is very comfortable, which is what I look for in a mouse. There is an indentation area for your thumb, this makes it very comfortable. The design of the mouse also makes it comfortable for your hand. Now on to the setup. Just plug the reciever into an open USB port, put the batteries in the mouse(Included) and your ready to go. Then just install the IntelliPoint software that comes with the mouse. Be sure to put the reciever in a high place. I have mine on top of my monitor. The fact that this mouse is wireless is also excellent. In my computer area, the wires would not fit and I had trouble using my mouse. Once I got this mouse however, all my problems were gone. I can even use my computer from the hallway using this mouse! I recomend buying the mouse from amazon because it is a lot cheaper. Overall this is an excellent mouse, I recomend it for anyone.

Summary: Jerky, Hysterisis, Heavy. BAD for detail work.
Review: With both the Logitech and Microsoft side by side, I find myself switching between the two to protect my wrists. This mouse works, but NOT for detail work. Here's why:
(1) It's heavy. (2) It's sticky...microsoft uses cheaper slide-pads compared to logitech (3) the stickiness makes it nearly impossible to nudge over a pixel (4) It is slow to wake up from it's snooze state (which it enters very very quickly) and typically jumps 10 pixels when it does wake up.
On the good side: (*) It's bigger and fits in my large hands better than the Logitech devices. (*) The batteries appear to last a little longer. I use my computer mouse constantly (3D design work) and find it frustrating to use this mouse for fine positioning. I would never purchase it again. I only gave it 2 stars because it meets it's specs.

Summary: No complaints (one quibble)
Review: It's interesting to read the problems other reviewers have had as I've had none. Others have alluded to there being different versions of the mouse which may explain it. Response- I find no issues at all with fine control response or startup delays after pausing, but I will admit I don't do CAD or art work. Battery life - I am a system admin, and work on my PC all day. Batteries (alkaline) last about a month for me- I find this quite acceptable. Stability - I run Windows 2000 Pro, and have had no driver issues. I did NOT install the Intellipoint software. It worked out of the box. Quibble- I use the mouse left handed, and the design is clearly for righties. It felt slightly odd at first, but I got used to it. It's hard to use the two side buttons (default behavior is forward and back buttons in the browser) as they are designed to be hit with your right thumb. I know the market isn't worth it to MS, but they should consider a left handed version.

Summary: Great product, but sucks batteries dry in weeks.
Review: I love my MS Wireless Optical Mouse, but I am forced to change batteries in about three weeks time. MS should follow Logitech's idea and make a rechargeable model.
