Summary: excellent mouse
Review: This was my first optical mouse, and I was a bit suspicious of it being wireless. But I finally did take the plunge and am happy to report that its a great device. The range on the reciever is pretty good, and the mouse is very accurate. Being optical is probably the best feature on this mouse. The batteries do tend to wear out a bit quickly, but I deal with it. And its all worth it to get freedom and accuracy on my desk.

Summary: Extremely poor power management
Review: This mouse manages battery power consumption rather poorly. It cost me a fortune to constantly replacing batteries. It could hardly last for a week on regular battery and could barely last a day or two when I use rechargeable ones. This mouse definitely does not fit for gaming purpose.

Summary: Battery Eater
Review: While this is a great mouse, smooth motion, it EATS though batteries like they are chocolate.Fits nicely in my hand, and I work LONG hours. Okay that's prob why it eats batteries. I'm using the mouse on average 9 hours a day most days it's more like 12+ ....

Summary: Good buy
Review: This mouse is great. It fits perfectly into the hand. After I bought it, I just put my hand on it for 10 minutes it felt so good. The problem is that there's not much grip when you need to pick it up.

Summary: Great ergonomics; Poor function
Review: Although this mouse feels great in your hand, it has the worst tracking I have ever seen. So bad it's frustrating even while surfing the web, much less doing something that requires precision. Logitechs "Cordless MouseMan Optical" proves that it can be done right (very precise tracking.) So until Microsoft gets it right, my advice is to go with Logitech.

Summary: Great mouse
Review: This mouse is too cool. I love it. Works wonderfully. Some others complain, but after adjusting the settings, it works perfectly.
BUT, not necessarily easy to install. Microsoft (for whatever you think) has outstanding customer support. So they spent sufficient time getting me thru the first install, now works great. Second install a no go. Does NOT work with HP systems and a few minor others.
Worth a try, so easy to use!!

Summary: good design, bad movement
Review: This mouse is a very good looking sturdy mouse. It feels good in your hand and has button's in correct spots, the only bad point is it has VERY bad movement, the power saving light blinks when not used for 2 seconds. This is bad because if you are drawing or playing games, and move the mouse slightly it will not respond. I would have made it so it starts blinking after about 10 seconds, oh well anyway its good for surfing the web but not much else, I can't stand even using it anymore, and have returned the product. This mouse is VERY overpriced for its preformance. If you are looking for a good, smooth wireless mouse, that is a good price, I suggest the Logitech Cordless Mouseman mouse, it is not optical but has great movement, the battery's last up to about 3 months under heavy use.

Summary: Excellent Mouse!!!
Review: I have been using this mouse for several months now and I am absolutely loving it! It's great not to have the cord catching and getting in the way, and I really like the way the software alerts you to a low battery. I knew the mouse would use up batteries, so I am using rechargeables in it to save the cost. The mouse has done pretty well for me when I have played games like Unreal Tournament, etc. I was actually surprised at how well movements were in the games. To me, there is only a slight difference between this mouse and the regular corded mouse when it comes to games. I would definitely recommend this mouse to anyone that can afford it.

Summary: Good - but there's a problem
Review: The mouse works well: up to at least 2 metres away from the receiver, which could be useful when doing presentations etc. However, I bought it for use with an Hewlett Packard Pavilion, and it will only work if you plug it in after booting up the machine. If you try to boot up when the mouse is plugged in you won't be able to, the machine will hang. This situation is true on the following machines:
-> Hewlett Packard Pavilion Model 9790, 9780C, 9770, 9895, 9686C, 9694C, 9600, 8770c, 8765C, 8660c, 8705C, 8700, 7205C, 7905, 7850, XE738, XL768, XP788, XP789, and XT938 personal computers.
-> Compaq Presario 5900Z, 7940 series personal computers.
-> IBM Aptiva 2198-84U. What a pity I wasn't told this before buying.
P.S. does anyone want an 'almost' new Intellimouse Explorer?

Summary: Best mouse I have used ever!
Review: I won't give it 5 stars because it's not perfect but getting very close... PROS:
-NO WIRES!!!! I hate the stupid wire, it gets in the way, caught on stuff, or will pull the mouse when your not using it. -Egronomic, very comfortable, (if your right handed, you CANNOT use this mouse if your a left handed mouse user) The mouse fits in my hand fairly well, could be a bit longer as I have a big hand. But for people with standard size hands it should work well. -Cool loking, yep this is a pro, it just looks cool. -Great software, I use the explorer buttons on the mouse all the time, and the scroll button as well. I re-program the scroll button to be a double click, and the back button as a backspace. With the backspace it will still take you back in your browser, but will also take you back a directory in a file explorer window, plus if your hand is on the mouse and your highlighting something, you can click that button and not take your hand off the mouse to delete your highlighted work. -Works great with no mouse pad, there are a lot of people complaining about the tracking of the mouse and the acuracy of it. Just don't use a moue pad... -Comes out of standby instantly! If you hold the mouse like your suppose to, then it comes on and responds instantly. The mouse has sensors on the sides that will detect when you have your hand on the mouse. If you just rest your hand on top it may not come on right away. So those who complain about this just aren't using it right. CONS:
-Battery life, I have 2 of these, one at work and one at home. The one at work gets used more than at home, but the home mouse's batteries die faster. I found out that because I use a black mouse pad it will kill the batteries faster. At work I just use it on my desk and it last a whole lot longer! -Range, only about 10 feet, so you could not really use it for a presentation, it is only designed for desk usage. -Not really for gamers, no optical mouse is really that great for gamers yet that requires moving the mouse in quick motions. This mouse isn't that bad, better than other optical mice out there, but still for gamers you may want to stick with a non-optical mouse. -Will NOT work with a PS2 adapter. I have a KVM switch at home and it WILL NOT WORK WITH A PS2 ADAPTER! So if you want a mouse that can plug into a PS2 adapter then don't buy this mouse. The corded MS USB mouse will work with the PS2 adapter and actually comes with one. -On my laptop, the drivers are a bit quirky. I have XP on my Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop and when the screen saver kicks in the mouse drivers will lose there explorer buttons. I have to unplug and replug the mouse into the USB port to get them back. I don't know if this is a bug with XP, my laptop, or what. I have XP at home too and I never have this problem. -Pricy, this is an expensive mouse, but if you have the money well worth it. A few things I would like to add, the mouse has never made noise, and my ears are not that bad. If you have some cheap PC sepakers they may pick up some signal, but other than that have never heard any noise from my mouse. If the mouse is sticky or jerky, just clean the bottom of it, it does pick up dirt and stuff. Also get a slick mouse pad, or no mouse pad at all. That is one nice thing, you can use the mouse on any flat non-mirrored surface. I even use mine on my pant leg sometimes when I want to kick back playing a card game or something. Two days after I bought my first mouse, I went out and got one for work too! So not making anything up here.
