A mouse with no balls

Advantages: Nice feel, very sensitive, nice features
Disadvantages: Could be more comfortable

...with the trackball kind of mouse's, as I find these were quite slow when being used, and they got dirty very easily. Dirt would gather inside the mouse itself, on the little bars which were used every time the mouse ball turned, to sense the direction being moved, and with dirt on these it gave the mouse an awkward feel. It didn't really feel very smooth, but now that is very different using the Intellimouse. No dirt or such is able to gather up inside the mouse, or interfere with the sensor, as there is only a tiny hole where the red beam is emitted. The only place where the dirt does gather is on the 4 raised pads in the corner on the underside of the mouse. These pads allow the mouse to be moved smoothly across surfaces, but do tend to gather dirt quite easily. Though this is exactly the same with most mouse's available at the moment, most of them...

Review of Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical 1.1 - mouse

Ball Mice Beware

Advantages: Optical, Great Designs
Disadvantages: None

...Move over ball mice technology has evolved the IntelliMouse is the ultimate tool for gaming, providing pinpoint accuracy for games where you have to use weaponry. The Microsoft IntelliMouse mouse has a sleek smooth design, and casing which is easy on the hand. The optical feature (which means there is no ball inside) means that that annoying furry clods of dust you get on the rollers is a thing of the past. The optical part is a sort of laser light that picks up movement. As you move the mouse it kind of flows across virtually any flat surface that you put it on. I use the wheel scroll to change weapons and obviously scroll down pages. There are many varieties of IntelliMouse?s ranging from a variety of prices some are: Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth - £60-£75 Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer - £35 - £50 IntelliMouse...

Review of Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer - mouse

MOUSE!

Advantages: appearance, price
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...For whatever reason - a reason even I, in my madness, cannot explain - I have become obsessed with The Gruffalo over the last few months. The Julia Donaldson book is one of the most popular children's books, especially with its wide range of options for all ages (the touch and feel Gruffalo book is brilliant!), but nothing will beat the original story. Told through rhyme, Mouse goes wandering in the woods and encounters various creatures along the way - the snake, the fox, the owl - who want to eat him. Conjuring up this 'mythical' creature of the Gruffalo allows Mouse to be left uneaten. It's quite a peculiar story, but very beautiful! With the success of the story comes the long line of toys and accessories. Now I am twenty years old, but my love for Mouse is incredible. I was very tempted to buy a pencil that had Mouse on the top...
