    5 Stars Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 Review with images 28/04/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages USB to PS/2 compatible, energy efficient, good response time.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I know of.

    I'm currently using this mouse on my Ubuntu PC, and have also tried it on Solaris and Windows. It has an excellent response time, never lags or freezes, and wastes very little battery. I'm currently powering the mouse with two AA UNiROSS 2700mAh NiMH batteries, which I charged less than a year ago. The mouse came in two parts: one is the USB receiver that has a metre of cord, and the second is the wireless mouse. The receiver is quite big, not the sort you would use with a portable computer (i.e. netbook or notebook). That being said, the signal quality is always close to 100%, and hasn’t ever ... more

    5 Stars Quite honestly the best mouse I've ever owned 15/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick to use, solid build, better than expected battery life, extremely customisable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None to mention it's that good

    Let me begin this review in the way I mean to go on! Best. Mouse. Ever! I seriously cannot express that part enough. I've gone through many, many mice in my lifetime and this wireless mouse from Microsoft has seen me through an awful lot. Please allow me to go further. First Impressions & Unboxing --------------- One thing Microsoft do very well is their keyboards and their mice. They do these remarkably well in fact, that should you even be a fan of Macs or Linux you'll be hard pushed not to compliment their hardware. My Intellimouse Wireless Explorer came in a red flat-ish box with the mouse ... more

    5 Stars Excellent mouse with a few problems 27/09/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Perfect shape, precise movement, looks great!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Batteries last up to 1 month, battery connector sometimes disconnects

    I bought this mouse because I wanted to try out this new optical mouse technology since my previous Microsoft classic ball mouse use to clog sometimes and then the ball required cleaning. Plus the 5 buttons and Wireless functionality would be very useful for me. In using the mouse for the past 12 months I find the extra 2 side thumb buttons absolutely amazing! I use them all the time now with the default forward and back internet browser functions. You can assign a wide variety of functions to the buttons for example copy, paste, maximize, etc. This mouse also has the standard left and right ... more

    4 Stars WIRE-LESS EFFORT 03/11/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No wires, excellent features, very comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages requires batteries

    What do you do when you become fed up of cleaning the inside of your ball mouse? Well the answer is simple, you buy an optical mouse. I decided on buying Microsoft's Wireless Intellimouse Explorer due to an offer on this item, which meant I was able to purchase it for around £38 compared to its original price of £45 at the time. There are many things I like about this product so I?m going to discuss some of its features in depth. Firstly I describe how easy it is to get everything setup in perfect working order. Plug & Play *********** The mouse comes complete with a USB Infra-red receiver ... more
