Summary: Great mouse
Review: When I first recieved the Wireless Optical Mouse Blue, I had a little trouble getting used to it. It seemed to move around on my screen very fast. After installing the IntelliPoint software, I found a feature which let you adjust the movement according to how you use it. After setting this up I have had no problem. I've been using it for two weeks now and have had no problem with battery life.
The mouse fits very well in your hand. Scroll wheel is nice and easy to use and the optical tracking works very good. If you let it sit for a long time with out using it (hours), it will go into some sort of sleep mode. I find that moving the mouse does not wake it up but if you click one of the buttons or move the scroll, it picks right up again.
I was worried that the wireless feature of this mouse would not work very well but I have had no problem. The only instance where it started to skip was when my desk was piled with papers and things were covering up the reciever. Moved the papers away and it worked just fine. Only thing I wish was that it worked farther away than six feet, but that's still a pretty good distance.
My overall suggestion, if your looking for a replacement mouse or you just need a mouse, get this one. It will not disappoint you. Price is very low considering that it is wireless AND optical all in one. But, if you are looking for just a cheap, simple mouse, I would suggest getting a little 5-10 dollar off brand mouse as they will work. If your a gadget lover like me, this will deffinately entertain you.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Bought this, I keep the receiver 6 feet away from the mouse up on a shelf. No problems whatsoever. BTW, this was the first mouse which would properly work with my KVM switch and with my other system, a Linux system. So now, only one mouse for both computers.

Summary: Do Not Buy If You Play Games!
Review: This mouse looks pretty cool. But, it lags and skips around sometimes which can be very annoying when precision is needed (ie. playing games) Even on the desktop, the cursor will sometimes skip totally across the screen while you are moving the mouse. It's not really smooth either...if u just look at the cursor, it looks like ur dragging the mouse across sandpaper.

Summary: Great except more heavy than cord mouse
Review: This mouse is great. I use 802.11b network, 2.4 Ghz cordless phone, and a GSM cellphone(I think also runs on 2.4 Ghz frequency). The mouse doesn't interfere with any of the products. I use to have a Logitech cord mouse which also works great; but it looks ugly (the newer Logitech looks good too, but I think M$ looks better)and has a cord. This mouse is much better looking and obviously doesn't have the cord tangle problem. However, cordless mouse is heavier than cord mouse. Without the two batteries, cordless mouse is only a little bit heavier than the cord mouse. So bottom line, if you got a trackball mouse, definately get an optical mouse IMMEDIATELY. If you absolutely hate the cord tangling together, you can not go wrong with this mouse.

Summary: A Microsoft mouse on an Apple computer?
Review: Yes, the little blue mouse works perfectly on an iMac running OS X - just plug and play. No need for drivers or special software, just plug it in. I like this over the Apple mouse for several reasons: it's easier to drag and drop files because it's easier to keep the mouse "clicked", it has a scroll wheel, it has no cables, and despite with Apple die-hards might have you believe, the second button is sometimes very useful!This mouse works well, and is sensibly priced. Keep your Apple one for when friends are ooh-ing and aah-ing at your new iMac, and keep this one for when you have work to do. Microsoft should seriously think of making a slightly more Apple-styled mouse!

Summary: Horribly Inaccurate
Review: i had been wanting to go wireless for a while, but i also wanted something optical. when i saw the MS had come up with an inexpensive solution, i jumped at the chance to try it. i'll cut to the chase. the mouse is extremely erratic. first, don't even think about using it with the ps/2 port--the mouse will hardly respond. it works far better on USB, but there's a significant lag that does not go over well if you need the mouse for anything requiring precision. i tried the mouse under a million different OS settings (winXP), changed the mousing surface, played with the receiver, swapped batteries---nothing improved the performance of the unit. basically, if you're a gamer or an artist, stay away. this mouse will frustrate the heck out of you. shame on microsoft for not testing this thing a little more.

Summary: It's still a mouse...
Review: I bought this mouse as a replacement for my MS Optical Mouse (which broke). The price seemed reasonable enough, and I'd never had a wireless mouse before so I decided to give this one a try. Software installation from the CD was quick and simple (Windows 2000 Pro) though I had to reboot 'for changes to take effect'. The mouse was recognized once plugged in and it's works just fine. The lack of cord isn't as noticable as I had hoped it would be. I almost opted for the 'wired' Intellimouse with the side buttons instead (5 buttons in total) - I still think they would be handier than having a wireless mouse (thankfully they didn't make it shaped like a TV remote;)) The Intellimouse software on the CD (you can get it from MS's site as well) is great, I've been using it since I bought my last MS mouse about a year ago. Battery life seems to be ok - I've had the mouse about a week now and it hasn't died on me yet. Sometimes the cursor gets a little jumpy, overall it's just like every other mouse I've owned. I wouldn't recommend if you're big into gaming (because it's jumpy), but like I said in the title, it's still just a mouse, and it works fine.

Summary: Great mouse - but one major flaw
Review: Picked up this mouse on a whim. I have always been a fan of wireless optical mice. Unfortunately, this mouse has one flaw. When I come into work in the morning the mouse is non-reponsive and I have to remove the batteries and replace them to get it to respond. I think this is because I leave my computer on during the night and the mouse senses the lack of activity and goes to sleep. I think installing the intellipoint software may help resolve this. Other than that problem - it's a great mouse. very comfortable and accurate.
