Summary: Best mouse for the price!
Review: Notice the "price" clause inserted in the heading? That is because after using Intellimouse Explorer, Logitech Mouseman Wheel Optical, and this one, I would say the Logitech one is the easiest to operate and best built. However, its also twice as expensive...The Pros:
- Compared to Intellimouse Explorer, its smaller and so fits people with smaller hands
- The extra two buttons, which are placed on the left hand side on the Explorer are now one of each side so you don't have to flex your thumb as much
- The surface is not as shiny as Explorer so makes it easier to grip.
- The optical technology is faster so it feels more accurate than Explorer.
- Did I mention its cheaper than Logitech Mouseman Optical? :)
- Unlike Intellimouse Explorer, this works for both right and left handers. The Cons are:
- This depends on the user but I found that Logitech fits my palm better than this one
- The side buttons are loud! It makes a loud plastic sound.
- The construction seems flimsy especially compared to Logitech's. Maybe the reason for the loud side buttons!

Summary: perfect
Review: I am loathe to give microsoft anything, though this Intellimouse is close to perfection. 1 Step installation{the installation disc is mindlessly simple. Thankfully},and your on your way. I have had problems with a mouse{MICE?} in the past, this contains no ball, it operates optically,works without a mouse pad{again, thankfully} works on a cheap desk[like mine] or on my stereo or anyplace I tried it. Not too small{some I have had seem to have been made for infants hands} this works, the right and left click are smooth, the scroll wheel works easily. Brilliant,efficient, and it looks great{my 2 year old is fascinated by the red glow}. Microsoft has done me a service with this. Perfect!

Summary: unreliable
Review: I bought this mouse because I thought it would last longer the the standard ball mouse. Unfortunately, 6 months later it was in the trash. From now on, I'll stick w/ the cheap ones that at least last a year. On the posirive side, I did really like the "back" button for power browsing.

Summary: Love this mouse
Review: I love this mouse! I have always had a ball mouse prior to this mouse. The difference is amazing. This mouse is very accurate & great for gaming & surfing. The only downside I have experienced is that it will very rarely move when you don't have your hand on it. This could be due to the surface I have it on. I would recommend this mouse if you have not tried optical before...amazing difference.

Summary: Great, comfortable and precise..!!
Review: This mouse is the best one I ever owned. Not only the Intellimouse technology super, it actually makes my life easier by not skipping or getting dirty. Also, the mouse is aesthetically very pleasing and the size is neither too big nor too small. I recommend it to everyone! Don't hesitate because this mouse is the best out there!

Summary: the red-light precision multibutton beast rides again
Review: I like how it glows
I like how its mows
Its doesnt get jammed
but its so big like a ram. At first it seems quite quicker,
then the thrill level falls,
Im back to my old roller/clicker,
its more agile and small.

Summary: Excellent Mouse, Great Price
Review: I was very hesitant to switch to optical hearing all sorts of bad things about optical technology. I was so wrong! This is the best mouse I have ever owned!!! Instead of the mouse ball getting dirty, the mouse pad is what I have to clean occationally! I have had zero problems with this mouse and I use it many hours every day. The movement glides over the mouse pad, and response is very crisp. I have used it in a PS/2 port and USB and it works equally well.

Summary: Good mouse, but will this one last?
Review: I give this mouse a 4, but may adjust later if this one doesn't last. I had one similar to this (I'll explain the diference in a minute) and it only lasted 4 months, but like a dummy I lost the receipt and couldn't get it exchanged. So far, this one has lasted much longer.
I like the size as seems to fit perfect in my hand. The only thing I don't like about this mouse is where the buttons are. There is a button on each side of the mouse and when I'm playing a game or surfing the net that my finger will touch one of the buttons and will do something I don't want it to do. The model before this one had 2 buttons on one side and I liked that alot better (maybe they did it for left-handed people).
Other than that, this is a good mouse. The wheel in the middle is great for scrolling up and down documents. The mouse moves nice and smooth and without having a ball on the bottom of your mouse you don't have to worry about cleaning it. You don't even need a mouse pad as long as you have smooth surface (as long as it's not clear) to use it on.
Definitley a good mouse to have.

Summary: Excellent mouse
Review: This mouse is an excellent replacement for the standard mouse that has the little ball in the bottom, especially if you are tired of cleaning out the gunk in the bottom that can make the tracking sticky. This mouse also looks very cool... there is a neat light that glows out the bottom when your computer's on and it also has a little tail light. The precision and fast response time of the mouse is amazing...a vast improvement over traditional mouses (mice?). The two extra buttons on the side also come in very handy.. they are precongifured to be used as back and forward buttons for internet browsing, a very useful feature, but you can change them to do a lot of other things. The only problem that I've had is that it is sometimes diffucult to avoid pressing the "forward" button by accident but it's not a big thing. Highly recomended!

Summary: Caution: Gamers!
Review: Great mouse, no more gunk, feels good in the hand, faster than an old-style ball mouse. One IMPORTANT note of caution: These mice ship with IntelliPoint 3.2, which does not work well in gaming, esp. Counter-Strike, Q3, and other FPS games. Find a copy of 3.1. I have no idea why, but I've talked to a number of gamers and that seems to be their experience as well.
