Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4.0 Mass
Digital camera Review: Better than Intellimouse Wireless Explorer
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced my MS intellimouse wireless explorer with this and this one is much better. That one was big and clunky and I never used those side buttons. This one has the tilt scrolling wheel for left and right scrolling which I find very useful. This also has a smaller footprint and easier to hold. It is symmetrical, so easier for left or right handed operation. Amazon's gold box deal made this almost as sweet.Digital camera Review: Felt like a left-handed mouse
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a right-handed person, but somehow the fit was not very comfortable in my right hand, even though it is a large mouse, and i am comfortable using a variety of mice. Moreover I was looking for something without the extra receiver it comes with. went with a bluetooth mouse, since my laptop is bluetooth enabled. I'm happy ever since.Digital camera Review: God performance, but some OS issues
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like this mouse design. Its symmetry makes it appropriate for both right- and left-hand mousers (I'm ambi-moustrous) and it has smooth, quiet controls.
Unfortunately, one of the "special functions" available with the programmable tilt wheel is to show larger views of the running applications (screenshots of each running ap, instead of the icons you see when you do an Alt-Tab). To accomplish this, it actually has to take mini "Print-Screen" pictures digitally whenever your applications show a display, and this causes a rippling or repaint effect in some applications. At least in may versions of Windows XP this is the case.
Even if you don't USE that function of the tilt-wheel, the software still takes the screen shots. So the only way to eliminate the rippling screen problem is to uninstall the software that came with the mouse and install an earlier version of the mouse software - which does not have the tilt-wheel (scroll side-to-side) functionality.
Nevertheless, it's a smooth operating mouse, attractive, and seems to have a reasonable battery life.
Digital camera Review: Good but could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
The wireless mouse set was just as described and easy to hook up. Programing the scroll roller wheel took a lot of trial and error, but once you get it done it is "fast", and the tilt of the wheel is a blast. The slide of the mouse on the pad is a little sluggish. The ergonomic design is OK.. it would be better if it was little longer to support wrist and a little wider where you hand is not in a cuped position ....but it is much better than others on the market.Digital camera Review: Great Wireless Mouse
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this during the "gold box" deal for $14.99, which, I thought was an amazing price for something like this.
I have always been using wired microsoft mice and I just love their curved shapes that fit perfectly with my hand.
This one is no different, and the wireless stuff works very neatly.
I am giving it 4 starts because the included CD did not support Vista which means I had to download them for things to work. In their defense, this product was probably lying on the shelf before Vista was launched, and the setup program did point me in the right direction for download.
But still, it was an extra step I had to do for the hardward to work properly.
