My Pet Mouse

Advantages: Quality. Sleek. Durable. Responsive
Disadvantages: Range Is A BIt Short.

...too flashy, not too tacky. Microsoft slapped their logo across the back of the mouse and I expect that this will wear away soon, but it's not big or ugly at all. The mouse is approved by a professional ergonomist, Hugh McLoone of Microsoft and if you want you can download ‘Intellipoint’ from www.microsoft.com/hardware. This allows you to just point and press to enlarge and edit image details. The mouse can also be purchased as part of the keyboard ...
...Anything else? Well there is a connect button underneath the mouse to let the receiver know it’s ready to use. I got mine from Staples because I had a discount voucher to use there and so far I think it was a good buy. As I said, the worst thing would be if the batteries ran out quickly, but the box does say 6+ months, and being Microsoft, they should at least know how to build a quality mouse. There would be something seriously wrong if they couldn’t. ...

Review of Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 - mouse

My Eye Candy

Advantages: Ease of use, warranty of two years, moves freely.
Disadvantages: Nothing so far.

...product range for myself. The Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse is one among them which I purchased after convinced myself about its worthyness. The one I had purchased is a Black in colour and looks as cute as my little black cat. Value in an optical mouse includes: Optical technology, wheel scrolling and comfort of use whether you use your right hand or your left. The mouse fits to a firm grip and you can guide the cursor anywhere you want with an ...
...technology which is introduced by Microsoft keeps the optical sensor precise with no moving parts to wear out. The product which I had purchased came in a box of red and white with the picture of the mouse on the top of the face of the box. The box which is used for the packaging of the mouse too looks nice and attractive. It has a facility to hang it on the wall if you want to save your space at your godown or small store room. The top portion of ...

Review of Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse Black - mouse

Works anywhere - absolutely fantastic

Advantages: Works anywhere, extremely responsive, robust, well designed
Disadvantages: Not wireless, only three buttons (I don't consider these as serious disadvantages)

...down in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. - Additionally, if you "click" the wheel (press it down), you get the ability to make the screen autoscroll up and down at the speed you like. - It's robust and durable - I've had a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer die on me because of bad design (it was designed such that the USB cable get tugged while in use, and it eventually breaks; I think this is fixed in the later versions) - this is a lot better. ...
...buttons, I'll go for the Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. I do like the black model more than the cream coloured one. Overall, I rate this as a great product, and well worth your money. At the time of review, I found I could buy this online at £7+, on Ebay for an average of £10 (although there was one person selling a new one for under £4 including delivery). I personally would not pay more than £10 - but I wouldn't pay more than £10 for any mouse ...

Review of Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical - mouse

That lovely little thingy!

Advantages: Comfortable, looks good, long battery life, works well
Disadvantages: Bad packaging, not cheap

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 Don't you just hate it when you play a race game on your computer and the wire of your mouse makes you lose the game? Yes, I bought my new wireless mouse for this trivial reason. I found it on Amazon for £14.64 and although I could have bought it for less from a different shop or website, I bought from Amazon for the obvious reason of having some Amazon vouchers that I wanted to get rid of. And, considering ...
...more than a year and a half ago and it's still in a perfect working order, I probably shouldn't have bought this one. Consumerism is bad! I bought this mouse with a couple of other stuff that I didn't need much, and they all had the same fitting plastic cover. Why do they make these kinds of stupid packaging? The packaging of this one in particular was so thick that I cut my fingers when I was struggling to open it with a Swiss knife. Why don't ...

Review of Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 - mouse

A very comfortable investment!

Advantages: Fits into the hand well, useful forth button
Disadvantages: Middle button and scroll wheel is quite hard to use at first.

...Even though at £15, this Microsoft mouse only cost me a fraction of what I paid for the keyboard, it still hurt a little bit when I realised I'd just bought something that does exactly the same as my old 99p mouse. The mouse looks very stylish and is shaped to fit the contours of the hand far better than some of the mice I have used in the past. It is very comfortable in the hand and feels as though it is well constructed. My only complaint would ...
...software on the CD, called Microsoft IntelliPoint (a much newer version available online), allows you to customize the function of the additional button on the left hand side of the mouse. By default this is set to a magnifying window, which follows the mouse around and magnifies whatever is under the mouse, however I find mapping it to the 'Browser Back' function is really handy. USB is the connection of choice for this mouse, however a USB to ...
