Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Optical Mouse (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Best. Mouse. Ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best mouse I have ever used. I also own the wireless version of this mouse and it is equally as good. (This one is better for transport though.) The design fits perfectly in my hand, the software is useful and easy to install, and it is amazingly smooth for computer drawing/modeling. I have used logitech mice and other more expensive microsoft mice (elite and pro) and I still like this one the best. Its simplicity, good looks and excellent design make it the only mouse i'll ever use again.Digital camera Review: Broke...

I got this item for my husband for Christmas, 2006. By March the scroll wheel had broken (does not work in any computers), and by May the entire mouse died. Not recommended.Digital camera Review: Buy for all my computers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the mouse I consistently come back to. I have used this mouse on 3 of my computers, and it compares favorably to every other mouse I've used -- with the weak exception of the extremely comfortable, but expensive ($50) VerticalMouse from Evoluent; that mouse, however, broke after a year of use.
This mouse is my favorite for these reasons:
- Optical, so precise and no jumping
- Perfect scroll wheel. It's clickable, functioning as a third mouse button (try middle-clicking links in Firefox to open them in new tabs, or middle-click tabs to close them)
- Has right-click (duh, but Apple mice often do not)
- Feels pretty comfortable to use
- Lefties could use it, too
Digital camera Review: Can't go wrong... But could be better....
Summary: 4 Stars
Just got this one today... My first impression is that it's constructed rather poorly... It's light and it rattles.... It just doesn't feel solid...Up until now, I've beem using another Microsoft optical mouse, Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical and even though it's less expensive than this one, that one feels more solid.
I just don't see the advantage of this mouse over the Wheel Mouse Optical that I am replacing now... (well, this one is colorful, which is the exact reason why I bought this one).
Other than the construction issue, they both work flawlessly...
Can't really go wrong, but I would still go for the amazingly cheap Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical....
Digital camera Review: Comfy and accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second go with the Microsoft Optical Blue line of mice. The first time out, I tried the wireless version, which ended up being extremely erratic. I liked the shape and look of the mouse, so I decided to try the tethered model. I'm glad I did. This mouse feels comfortable in my hand, and the accuracy is second to none. I'm a graphics designer, so my mice have to be as precise as possible. This mouse really does the job well.If I can find a few flaws, the first would have to be the clackyness of the mouse buttons. They feel nice, but they emit a louder "clack" noise than I'm used to when depressing the buttons. Also, I wish Microsoft would ditch the extra LED they put in the tail of the mouse. What purpose does it serve to have it glow red 24/7? Considering the second LED is superfluous, the least they could have done is make it the same color as the mouse shell, and use a cool blue one like Sony does on the front of PlayStation2.
Aside from those minor flaws, this is a solid performer. I recommend it.
