Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse
Digital camera Review: A Basic Mouse with a great feel!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is comfortable and simple. I don't need all the buttons and frills. When you like a mouse that has a great feel I just love this one. It's bigger and my hand rests on it easily. The scrolling is so smooth and you don't have to drag it around a lot. It's fast and gets the job done.Digital camera Review: A Mouse Among Men
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonder little device. My son suggested that I join the modern age and get an optical mouse. I am certainly glad I took his advice.
I love my new Microsoft Optical Mouse which looks as fun as it is functional.
A great buy for the money!
Digital camera Review: A high-quality optical mouse - excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
The Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse is an excellent replacement for a conventional ('ball') mouse. I replaced two of my old mice with these and am very pleased - no more unresponsive cursors as a sign the ball needs a bit of attention! By the way, I have one mouse running under a Microsoft Windows system and the other under a Red Hat Linux system - both without any problems. If you are fearing compatibility issues, no need to worry. Everything works out of the box.
This is a great mouse at a good price - and it looks slick in black.
Digital camera Review: A perfectly fine mouse EXCEPT that the wheel scrolls itself frequently
Summary: 2 Stars
A perfectly fine mouse EXCEPT that the wheel scrolls itself frequently, apparently because the designer tried to make the force required for each index of the wheel (each turn of the wheel through one "click") as effortless as possible, which was a nice attempt at ergonomic design, but it backfired, because as your hand whizzes back and forth between mouse and keyboard, the wheel frequently turns itself one click, apparently as if your finger left it perched between clicks. This is MADDENING for a number of reasons. You're trying to read, and the screen scrolls randomly away from your eye. You're holding down ctrl in Word, about to make a keyboard command, when the mouse suddenly scrolls itself; and in Word, ctrl-plus-mouse-scroll equals zoom resizing. So your zoom is frequently changing itself. It's annoying as h*ll and I can't understand why I put up with it for 12-18 months before one day I realized that it's more than worth $15 to go buy another mouse that doesn't pull this garbage a dozen times every day. So I solved the problem in a heartbeat by buying an equivalent mouse of another brand (Logitech). The new one is a blessing because its wheel is sufficiently "stiff". I never should have subscribed to the false economy of refusing to buy a replacement for the defective Microsoft mouse. It's more than worth it to remove the daily torture from your workday. If Microsoft fixes the wheel and labels the packaging to communicate that it has been improved, then this mouse would be OK to buy in future. There is nothing wrong with it otherwise.Digital camera Review: A very good mouse.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a computer mouse that gets the job done. It works with Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP. It fits my hand very nicely. This mouse is well made and reasonably priced. What else needs to be said?
