Now, let's not get too worked up over this. It is afterall a mouse, and at the very bottom end of the market. However, costing only a few pounds this is a decent enough product which will perform all the basic functions well. It's design is comfortable in either hand and the two main buttons large and easy to press. Similarly the wheel control is easy to use. Being optical it will work on any surface, and also ends the old problem of dirt clogging up the mouse ball. You will need to ensure that you have a spare USB 2.0 socket to connect the mouse two. This becomes more of an issue on older machines where USB sockets are less frequent and may be of the older 1.0 class. Aesthetically this isn't a great product. The silver/black livery may fit in with a black desktop set-up, but can look out of place next to a white system. Similarly it only has basic functions (left and right buttons, wheel), and there are better products out there which are more sutied to web-browsing (that feature side buttons to advance and retreat between pages). However, as with most things you pay more to get more. This is a good mouse that will suit all basic computer users, and acts as a cheap temporary replacement to those looking for a better quality product in the longrun. Nothing to write home about, but in the market niche it seeks to fill it does its job well.

My mouse Review ofLabtec Wheel Mouse mouseby

Advantages: Has a wheel to scroll pages quicker Disadvantages: wire gets in the way
This is exactly the same mouse that i am using at the moment while writing this review. Over the last 7 years that i have had a computer this is by far the best. Most of my other mouses lasted about half a year before something went wrong such as the wires coming loose and the mouse not working. This mouse has lasted for just over a year and is still going good now. This is excellent especially for the low cost that you can purchase it for.(£3.96)
... ...I dont know how people can use a computer without one. It makes scrolling up and down pages 10 times easier and quicker. The mouse wheel also lights up red when the computer is switched on. It serves no purpose apart from letting you know that it is connected. It also looks quite cool if you are using the computer in a dark room.
The mouse is not shaped in a curve like most mouses are so i would imagine that it could be used by left handed people. ...

Advantages: the wheel and the feel Disadvantages: nothing
Hi im Vasheesht. You maY remeber me from the likes of hp and slipknot.
This mouse here is one of the best wired basic ones there is. the tracker wheel is excellent. no need to press hard one is. very well easy to scroll. There feel of it is is a 4/5rating. (well is isnt egro shaped). But it is still very smooth. And no mouse ball needed. It has a I think infra red bottom So no new mouse balls needed. And the look is very elegant, smooth, original ... ...BUT DONT GET SONY PCS. THEY LOOK GOOD BUT ARE RUBISH. GET A HP MEDIA CENTER. So I higly reccomend it to anyone who has taste. I even have them at school. There that shows how good they are even schools have them. You will like it very much but there are many like this. ...

I bought the optical mouse for only £9.99 from Index (also available at the same price in Argos).
When I first used it, it felt weird using the optical mouse instead of the wheel mouse because of how smooth it is and that I got used to the wheel... more
