Summary: MICROSOFT, LOGITECH O.K., BUT......
Review: MICROSOFT & LOGITECH MICE ARE O.K. GENERALLY SPEAKING, BUT THE KENSINGTON OPTICAL MICE ARE FAR SUPERIOR. HAVING OWNED BOTH THE MS.&LOGITECH OPTICAL MICE AND COMPARING THEM TO THE KENSINGTON OPTICALS HERE ARE THE FEATURES I LIKED IN THE KENSINGTON OPTICALS:1. SCROLL WHEEL WAS PRECISE AND SMOOTH 2.MICRO SWITCHES WERE ABSOLUTELY CRISP 3.THE SHAPE OF THE MOUSE WAS PERFECT, AND WILL ACCOMMODATE RIGHT&LEFT HAND USERS.KENSINGSTON MAKES BOTH A 5 & 3 BUTTON MOUSE AND ARE MORE REASONABLY PRICED THAN EITHER MS. OR LOGITECH. ALSO COMES WITH 5 YEAR WARRANTY AND TOLL FREE SUPPORT NUMBER.

Summary: Best mouse out there (if you can actually find one!)...
Review: I have this mouse for my main home computer and love it. The fit of the mouse is the best I've felt compared to all the mice I've owned. It is a very ergonomic mouse and responds very well due to the optical mouse technology instead of outdated mouseball technology. The buttons really feel like they respond when you click them. I love using this mouse for my everyday web surfing, for gaming, and for work. It is not that expensive, either. I bought mine for only about $30, and it is worth every penny. The only problem is that this mouse is hard to find these days. You may have to resort to looking for it at online shops. You can try your luck at Best Buy, Circuit City and other big electronics stores, but it seems like they don't carry this one anymore since Logitech has a wireless MouseMan that has replaced it. :(

Summary: Great for Everyday Use
Review: This is a great mouse, as long as you're not a gamer. For everyday stuff, it works fine. The mouse has a sleek shape, fitting perfectly in your hand, and the thumb button is very convenient. The software that comes with the mouse is easy to install and makes it easy to configure the buttons for whatever you want to do. The wheel itself is a little loose--it's very easy to press unintentionally when you're trying to spin it--but it's okay as soon as you get used to it.The optical component of the mouse is what makes it unsuitable for gaming. If you move the mouse too fast, the pointer bounces across the screen and usually comes to end up almost right where it started. This erratic response makes it impossible to play games that require mouse movements, such as RTS games, or Quake.

Summary: EEEEEPPPPPP! This Mouse Roars!...
Review: I received this mouse as a gift and I like it. It fits my hand perfect (as a right hander.) If a left hander were to use my mouse they would find it very uncomfortable (if using with their left hand.) The thumb button is great to re-program for games. The wheel is smoother then the Microsoft Optical counterpart. I use the keyboard whenever possible for shortcut keys but some activities such as surfing the web and playing games can be greatly enhanced by having a good mouse. This mouse has fulfills all the needs I have. Optical is the way to go if you spend large amounts of time at a PC. It avoids the snags and slowdowns of non-optical mice. The optical logo is nice if your in the dark (and your monitor goes to sleep) so you can quickly grab the mouse and active the monitor. This is a great affordable mouse. It's a must get if your still using a non-optical or non-wireless mouse!

Summary: Great mouse but maybe not for games
Review: A solid mouse which I use with my laptop, often running it over my couch, a chair, my leg, etc. without a problem. It glides smoothly and accurately at moderate speeds, but I'm not sure I'd use this as a gaming mouse: it has a tendency to jump if you move it REALLY quickly, as you might in a game. Of course, you'd never have to move it that quickly when working with other applications, and for that purpose it's more than adequate. This mouse is a real pleasure, and I like the software. I'd never go back to a standard, non-optical mouse, except possibly for use with games. The only time I encountered a real problem was when I plugged it into the PS2 port on my laptop. It made the cursor hop all over uncontrollably (the mouse was essentially useless). I tinkered with the software but to no avail. A switch to the USB port using the adapter fixed the problem, though I'm not sure what I would have done had I needed to use the PS2 port. I should note I never cotacted Logitech about the problem, so they might have been able to fix it. Overall a great, comfortable, solidly constructed mouse.
