Summary: Cool to look at, cool to use + note to Windows ME users
Review: Well my old mouse which came with my gateway PC kept getting clogged with dirt, causing me to have to physically unscrew it and clean it out. Well, doing a this a number of times has basically ruined the mouse, and MS Intellimouse Explorer was just begging me buy it and put my old rodent out of its' misery, so I did. I'm pretty happy with it, though anybody who is a lefty should definitely not buy this one, and settle for the Intellimouse Optical instead. This mouse was specifically made for the right-handed. I use it on a wooden desktop with Mica on it, and it works very smoothly. One word of advice for WINDOWS ME users. The software that comes with this mouse is a little outdated(well done, Microsoft) and so it gives you a warning before you install it on ME. If you plan on using the mouse thru the USB port, you will have to make some changes to some of the config files in ME, but if you are using it as a replacement for your other mouse and putting it in the standard ps/2 port, there shouldn't be a hitch. Great buy....

Summary: absolutely wonderful
Review: a mouse is something you take for granted until it starts screwing up. i've had this mouse since it came out and i've put it through some serious abuse. aside from the MS logo rubbing off, this mouse has performed perfectly. this is the most comfortable, functional mouse i have found. i highly recommend it to anyone.as for the "intellieye", it is amazing. it really does pick up on any surface. if you need a new mouse, or are just tired of cleaning out your old one, buy this mouse, you won't regret it unless you're a lefty. it only comes in one flavor - right handed.

Summary: My right handed tool
Review: This is a great little mouse. I spend most of my life at computers, since my job and my hobby is the WWW. The feel of this little baby is great. It just melts into your hand, right hand that is. It says that the mouse works on hundreds on surfaces. Well, I haven't had the opportunity to try it on hundreds of surfaces, come to think of it, I can't even think of hundreds of surfaces. But forget that, this neat little guy is worth every penny.

Summary: Much easier to use
Review: This mouse is so much easier to use when browsing websites, saving a lot of time and energy on your hand, especially when you tend to go Back and Forward frequently. Well worth the buy.

Summary: If you don't like this mouse, you're nuts.
Review: I am a die-hard Macintosh user so you can probably guess how I feel about Microsoft. I lost my patience waiting for Apple's optical mouse and I decided to fork up the fifty bucks for the evil empire's device. I have to say that I'm impressed. The mouse is large enough to fit my hand comfortably. It's a nice replacement for the hockey-puck Apple has shipped with the G3 and G4 machines. The optical sensor in it works perfectly as the tracking is not jumpy or slow yet fast and smooth. The added buttons are extremely helpful in that I can scroll without moving the cursor position on screen and display contextual menus with the click of the right button. If I had to make one complaint it would be that Microsoft installs three extensions AND one control panel for this device to function. However that really isn't much to complain about given the fact that I don't have to clean a cruddy mouse ball ever again!

Review: This is a great mouse, it is very sensitive, doesn't have any problems with most surfaces, although it didn't seem to work on a reflective steel table, but still, it works GREAT. You should get this if: 1) you hate cleaning your mouse/forget to clean your mouse 2) you want more stuff that looks cool

Summary: 4 Reasons Why I Replaced this Mouse in 30 Days:
Review: 1) It was too big for my workspace. 2) It was too big for my hand. 3) It glows day and night (do not put it in your bedroom unless you need a night-light). 4) It has an accessory button that your thumb will rarely miss. Having said all that about the ergonomics, the technology remains awesome and truly qualifies as a breakthrough. However, the more basic IntelliMouse is a better unit for less money.

Summary: Disappointing Performance
Review: Running this artfully-crafted mouse over 7 different surfaces produced very disappointing results. On most surfaces, the mouse would only track reliably if the "grain" ran directly parallel or perpendicular to the up/down orientation. Even my existing *mousepad* performed badly. Even more surprisingly, so did plain white copier (laser printer) paper. With the mouse only slightly out of perfect up/down position on the surface, the pointer would jump and "jiggle" in 40- to 250-plus pixel areas on the screen. Roughly the same symptoms as a mouse badly in need of a cleaning. I tried this mouse for a week, and even exchanged it at the store (suspecting a defect), but was unable to get it to work reliably. Sadly, I'm now back with my old ball-and-chain. Maybe one day Microsoft will get the algorithm a bit more iron-clad (and hopefully, create a cordless version).

Summary: Great smooth mouse! Gotta love that red!
Review: This mouse is really awesome. It's runs very smooth on 90% of the platforms out there. It doesn't work on glass and 3-D mouse pads. It is pretty big so it depends on how big or small your palm is. All in all though, it's a sweet glide and very easy to carry around because I don't have to lug a mouse pad with my laptop. Plus, the red glow is always cool. :)

Summary: Great Mouse
Review: I know you're probably saying, "It's from Microsoft... I'm not buying it." But, this product is an exception. The mouse LOOKS cool, is easy to use, fully programable, and fits great to my hand. I don't know what people are talking about when they say it's big, I actually would like to see a model that is a little bit BIGGER. On the point that it is for right handed people only, I'm left handed, and I've ALWAYS used a right handed mouse. I don't know why poeple bother using a mouse left handed. For a long time I didn't even know poeple did. Mice are really easy to use with your right hand all you lefties out there, take it from me. The optical sensor is very accurate, and the mouse slides across my desk easily. The buttons are easy to click, and easy to use. One of Microsoft's first 5-star products.
