Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical
Digital camera Review: Great Mouse, No More Stick & Move
Summary: 5 Stars
Stick and move, stick and move, stick and move; this action describes not the butterfly like movements of a great boxer, but the movement of my aging ball mouse across my computer screen. I undertook all of the regular remedies for this type of bad behavior; I removed the ball and cleaned it with alcohol, I removed the dirt and dust from all surfaces, I prayed the to mouse gods for smooth and silky cursor operations, all to no avail. So I went searching for a new mouse, an optical mouse, one I had heard about in one of trade magazine I read; the one without the ball! The Microsoft IntelliMouse With IntelliEye is the latest in a long distinguished and creative list of hardware gadgets to come out of Redmond, WA over the years. The old fashioned ball, which has been the mainstay of the mouse since it introduction way back when, in the early 70's, is gone, replaced by an optical sensor, Microsoft has dubbed the IntelliEye. The IntelliEye has no moving parts, but instead uses an optical (red) sensor that tracks the movement of the mouse up to 1,500 times per second. And since the IntelliEye is sealed, dirt and dust, which has been the death knell for many a conventional mouse, is no longer a problem.
Shaped like the conventional IntelliMouse, the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye offers the same neat fit to the hand and the same innovative track wheel for easy scrolling of web pages and web-enabled documents. And you can throw away those often in the way mouse pads because the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye will work on hundreds of work surfaces, including clothing, and will also work if lifted two or three inches above a flat surface. However, the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye will not work on a reflective surface such as glass or other surfaces with a glossy finish. The mouse may also have difficulty tracking on magazine covers, photographs, or newspapers.
Installation of the mouse was a snap and can utilize either the traditional round 9-pin DIN connection, or a USB port; I chose the 9 pin DIN connector. Windows 98 Me, recognized the mouse automatically and the software installation via CD-ROM was seamless.
I have been using the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye for a little over a month now and I couldn't be happier with its performance and operation. The mouse cursor glides smoothly and effortlessly across the screen, and I am as happy as a man with a bowl filled high with Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream with mini chocolate chip cookies, crumpled on top, watching a Bruce Lee movie; in other words I am a happy Bard.
If you are as tired as I was of the stick and move technique of mouse pointing, you'll fall in love with the IntelliMouse With IntelliEye from Microsoft.

Summary: 4 Stars
Great mouse, very responsive, glides well, only objection is the bloody wire its attached to, sometimes it gets in the way, and its hard to clean sometimes, because of its texture. I love this mouse for gaming, never missed a shot =PDigital camera Review: Great mouse for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I already had one of these on my computer, so I just bought one for my son's machine. The optical mechanism is terrific for his (not the cleanest) work area. The regular ball mouse was always getting crudded up.
Mine has been working for several years; we'll see how long it lasts on his desk.
