Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical
Digital camera Review: Glows Brightly
Summary: 5 Stars
Includes everything that you would expect to have in a great mouse. The bottom edge of the mouse is made with a semi-clear plastic which allows the red colored optical light to shine through and light up the mousepad. The mouse body appears to be made very durable and the buttons press smoothly with an excellent amount of sensitivity.Digital camera Review: Go optical for next to nothing
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is [inexpensive] but works great. Optical sensor works well without jumping around. Overall a great dealDigital camera Review: Good Price, Quality Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This positive view comes grudgingly because I'm leery of the M$ monopoly, but I bought this as a replacement for a G4 iMac mouse that died and I haven't looked back.
I love Macs but hate their mice (I like using the right click button without having to figure out the right key click in OSX). I didn't want a wireless mouse because that means that I would have to deal with replacing batteries.
I tried out various types and manufacturers at a local office supply store and chose this mouse because it felt was the best fit and easiest to use. The cord is sturdy and the mouse is well-built and works flawlessly.
Two years later and they still work perfectly ...
One caveat is that I bought it for someone as a present and they didn't use it because they felt that it was too big for their hands. I think my hands are medium-sized and it fits perfectly. I'd suggest trying them out at an office supply store to see what feels/fits the best.
Digital camera Review: Good basic mouse
Summary: 4 Stars
A good basic mouse to replace the older ball type mice. Once you go optical, you don't go back.Digital camera Review: Good mouse, with a couple of minor annoyances
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used MS wheel mice for years. When my old non-optical wheel mouse went to rodent heaven this morning I replaced it with one of these. It's a good, simple mouse with much smoother movement than my previous non-optical. The only problems I've encountered are:
1) Compared with the previous mouse, the scroll wheel feels flimsy and wobbles around in its housing. You're never quite sure if you've moved/clicked it or not.
2) The button action is too sensitive. I keep accidentally clicking the right button just by resting my finger on it. Again, this might just be because I'm used to the previous mouse, which has a much firmer, more positive button action.
Overall though, it responds very well, and I'm sure I'll get used to the above niggles with time! I was also glad that I could plug it straight into my PC running Linux and it worked first time - no configuration needed.
