Summary: Caution left-handed users
Review: This mouse is not so ergonomic for left handed users. The two "thumb" buttons are not on the thumb side for lefties and the shape of the mouse is not as comfortable. If you are right-handed the mouse is nice.

Summary: Tilt Wheel, cruise, ac....
Review: This mouse is smooth. I enjoy the new shape and contours as I have a large hand for most men my size. However, other men in the office of average size find the new shape pleasing. The non-ratcheting action on the scrollwheel will decrease risk of carpel-tunnel, but it might be a bit touchy for sensitive users (if you like to use the 3rd button click). The wireless technology works great. The connection never fails, 6' range is more than enough and battery life seems fine. I was surprised to find that it takes AAs and not some crazy custom battery. Only complaint is in the software - you cannot set up program specific button settings like the old intellimouse. But I am sure this will be fixed in a matter of time? Finally the array of new colors fully completes the office desktop ensemble. Happy driving!

Summary: Disappointed after using the corded version
Review: This mouse looked good and felt good in the store. It worked right out of the box after getting it home. However, being a female with smaller hands, it is fatiguing to move around after a while, and I find myself stretching my finger just to reach the wheel. It seems like it is meant for big hands. This mouse is much heavier than the corded optical mouse, most likely from the batteries. But it feels big and clunky when moving it around. The wheel is also not as sensitive as the corded version, and does not have that nice little "click" when you move it. Also, the wheel does not move very easily like on the corded version where you could just roll it and fly down a screen. This one takes some work! Maybe I will give it to my husband or son to use.
