Summary: A Great Buy
Review: If you're looking for something better than your ordinary serial bus mouse for a very reasonable price, this is the way to go. It isn't a high-end mouse, but it has no mouse-ball to clean, and fairly precise movement, which makes this a great deal. Only drawbacks are that it's effective on only certain surfaces, primarily low-gloss surfaces, and the mouse cursor becomes spastic when the mouse is moved very quickly. If you are one to take your temper out on your mouse by slamming it on the desk, take care to avoid placing weight on the wheel-button. *grin*

Summary: Great Mouse, No More Stick & Move
Review: Stick and move, stick and move, stick and move; this action describes not the butterfly like movements of a great boxer, but the movement of my aging ball mouse across my computer screen. I undertook all of the regular remedies for this type of bad behavior; I removed the ball and cleaned it with alcohol, I removed the dirt and dust from all surfaces, I prayed the to mouse gods for smooth and silky cursor operations, all to no avail. So I went searching for a new mouse, an optical mouse, one I had heard about in one of trade magazine I read; the one without the ball! The Microsoft IntelliMouse With IntelliEye is the latest in a long distinguished and creative list of hardware gadgets to come out of Redmond, WA over the years. The old fashioned ball, which has been the mainstay of the mouse since it introduction way back when, in the early 70's, is gone, replaced by an optical sensor, Microsoft has dubbed the IntelliEye. The IntelliEye has no moving parts, but instead uses an optical (red) sensor that tracks the movement of the mouse up to 1,500 times per second. And since the IntelliEye is sealed, dirt and dust, which has been the death knell for many a conventional mouse, is no longer a problem. Shaped like the conventional IntelliMouse, the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye offers the same neat fit to the hand and the same innovative track wheel for easy scrolling of web pages and web-enabled documents. And you can throw away those often in the way mouse pads because the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye will work on hundreds of work surfaces, including clothing, and will also work if lifted two or three inches above a flat surface. However, the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye will not work on a reflective surface such as glass or other surfaces with a glossy finish. The mouse may also have difficulty tracking on magazine covers, photographs, or newspapers. Installation of the mouse was a snap and can utilize either the traditional round 9-pin DIN connection, or a USB port; I chose the 9 pin DIN connector. Windows 98 Me, recognized the mouse automatically and the software installation via CD-ROM was seamless. I have been using the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye for a little over a month now and I couldn't be happier with its performance and operation. The mouse cursor glides smoothly and effortlessly across the screen, and I am as happy as a man with a bowl filled high with Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream with mini chocolate chip cookies, crumpled on top, watching a Bruce Lee movie; in other words I am a happy Bard. If you are as tired as I was of the stick and move technique of mouse pointing, you'll fall in love with the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye from Microsoft.

Summary: Not slow
Review: It's said that optical mouses slow down the computers. This saying stoped me from optical mouses for years. After trying this mouse, i really love it. It doesn't slow down the computer much. For new computers, you definitely don't need to worry about it.

Summary: I Like It - Works Great
Review: Microsoft IntelliMouse works as advertise. It was easy to install, insert the CD and within a couple of minutes the mouse and its features are ready to be used. You don't have to use a mouse pad anymore but you can still use one if you want. I'm sure there are a few surfaces the optics won't work on but it worked on my mouse pad and desk surface. Only time will tell if it will last longer that a ball mouse! The features include:
-----------------------
Three Programmable Buttons - The three buttons, including the wheel button, can be reprogrammed easily to perform popular commands with a single touch. Faster Wheel Scrolling - Move through documents quickly without clicking on the scroll bar. Designed for Right or Left Hand No need for a mouse pad (You can still use your favorite mouse pad) System requirements:
-------------------------
Pentium 133mhz or higher processor (Pentium 233mhz or higher for Windows XP) For Windows 98 or Windows ME - 32 MB of RAM For Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP - 128 MB of RAM 25 MB of available hard-disk space An available PS/2 or USB port For Macintosh:

Summary: Works Flawlessly
Review: I have had this mouse for a while now, and my dad just purchased one for himself. To start off, i have not had any problems with it yet (maby 1 1/2 years old).
It is USB compatible, but works fine with the other adaptor. I use this with a mouse pad, and it has perfect response. Without a mouse ball, it requires a lot less effort, and does not get "old". By old i mean that after a while of use the parts inside a ball mouse would collect stuff, and would cause the mouse to lock up at times. The only thing i do not like, but can easily suffer with, is that
1) The mouse is symmetrical (ment for use with both hands). I am used to the old right handed microsoft mouses, and this isn't as designed to my hand as the old one. But still works fine.
AND
2) The Scroll Wheel is very free moving, where as my old microsoft mouse was harder to move. I do find that i might accidentally move the wheel, and when playing games it can get a little bothersome. I have got used to it though, and now i just go very gentle. This is worth the [money] any day. The box set which offers this optical mouse and internet keyboard is also a consideration, for i like the keyboard just as much as this mouse. This mouse isn't even comparable to a IBM or Logitec mouse. ~Hope this helps

Summary: Windows 95 is NOT supported, otherwise great mouse.
Review: ...The box clearly states that Windows 98 or higher is required. Attempting to install the driver software on a Windows 95 box brings up an dialog box informing you that it is not supported and the installation never even begins. For Windows 98, this is a great mouse. I already had one on a another system and it works very well. Given the low price I'd say it is a great deal. So as long as you are not running Windows 95, go for it, you will be very happy with this mouse.

Summary: Better than a trackball mouse.
Review: This is a great mouse. I use this one at work and the only better one I can recommend is the cordless optical. This is a great mouse because there's no trackball, which means better control and no mess to clean all the time. It's a nice fit in your hand and you can set the many different buttons to do what you want.
