Summary: Mixed Nuts
Review: I am a big FPS (First person shooter) gammer and I love the idea of the button on the side, its feel is nice and the dual scroll feature is great when doing research online.

The cons are that they are prone to fail, CONSTANTLY and good luck gettting them to work right after a month. I still can't get mine to stop jerking after the [...] drivers taht I got when I installed it the last time.

My opinion, learn to use the keyboard.

Summary: Doesn't work
Review: I bought this mouse and it worked for the first two days so I threw the box away. Then it died. I exchanged it, and the replacement never worked out of the box. I am trying to use a PS2/Serial adapter, which the manual says should work. It doesn't. So now I am stuck with a dead mouse. Stay away from this one.

Summary: Excellent scroll mouse
Review: I bought this mouse for work, and I'm planning to get another one for home use. It's the only one I've seen with the sideways scrolling second wheel . I love the second wheel... with only a 15 inch monitor I am constantly scrolling sideways. The mouse is compatible with every program I use, and switches easily between windows. I use the second wheel to go from message to message in Eudora Pro 4.2.

The only awkward spot is the third button - the placement on the side of the mouse means you have to have a good grip on the mouse to click that button.

Overall, this is the best scroll mouse I have seen.

Summary: Doesn't work
Review: I bought this mouse, and it worked great for a day or two and then quit. I echanged it for another and it doesn't work either. The manual says it will work with a PS2/Serial adapter but apparently not. I threw the box away the first day when it worked, so now I'm stuck with a dead mouse. Stay away from this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: sensitive, accurate movement.
Review: I love mine. It's very accurate for movement and works well on different surfaces.

Better even than the Microsoft wheel mouse, personally.

these are the downsides: if you bounce it , the switches trigger and the whole thing should be larger. I will definitely buy another one of these.

Summary: A Great Mouse For a Great Price
Review: I've never had a scrolling mouse before and it helps with internet use as well as game play. The scrolling is smooth and even has a button for larger scrolls. The mouse itself it exceptionally smooth in it's movement. I would recommend this mouse to anyone who's looking for even just a normal mouse. It is one of the cheapest mice that I've ever seen and it has two scrolls. This is a great product.

Summary: Doesn't work
Review: Initially sort of unnerved by smooth scrolling of wheels, but not really a problem after a little use. Am going to buy two more of these mice, to give to friends. Would have rated 5 stars if I didn't have the problem, solved below.

Only problem was that the mouse scrolled up part way then stopped in mid screen instead of continuing as it should have, i.e. erratic up scrolling. Had to take mouse apart (one screw) to fix it, hopefully permanently. Q-tip and rubbing alcohol cleaned some oil residue off areas around the ball, the gears and axles driven by the ball, and the normally-removable ball retaining plastic disk. The bottom (interior) side of the top of the mouse, near where the ball retaining disk attaches, had some light oil on it, too, which I removed. I then put a drop of silicone spray on each supporting end of the two axles* which are moved by the rubber ball and the mouse worked fine afterward. *You'll know what I mean if you disassemble the mouse.

Incidentally, setting the up-down scroll to one line at a time makes the smooth scrolling quite nice.
