2 out of 5 stars One blind mouse.......2007-12-02

This mouse sucks! That is the nicest way I can put it. I would have given it 1 star, but it does technically work. I hate the way that it feels. I know that this is personal preference, but my husband and my daughter do also. It is hesitant to move around the screen, but the worst part is the scroll function. Maybe I should rephrase that and call it the scroll malfunction. It takes forever to get from the top to the bottom of the page and you have to keep clicking it. That is the most irritating part of using it. Mine had to be directly in front of the receiver in order to work right and for that you might as well get one with a cord. Basically this thing had to go. I replaced it with the Logitech MediaPlay Cordless Mouse and it is doing great. All of the features function perfectly. Take it from me, this one is not worth the trouble.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent mouse for the average user........2007-09-14

I have had this mouse for a few months now and I am completely pleased with it. The response is excellent and has very fluid movement. The only problem I have with it is the range. My mouse sits on top of my tower when I use it, and for some reason that cuts the range down drastically. If I set it anywhere else the range is perfectly fine. This mouse take 2 AA batteries, and I noticed that when I take one of them out, the mouse still works! I find it very odd, but beneficial if I only have one battery lying around when I need a new one. Overall, this is a great mouse for someone who doesn't care about all the frills of expensive mouses. I recommend it to anyone.

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy.......2007-05-21

Wife bought me this product to use worked fine for about a month. Then it started quiting after looking up some information on the net i came to the conclustion your money is better spent on a more expensive mouse since this mouse will not last you out. Evenually i figured to remove the cover from the reciver. Doing this offered me the ablitiy to atleast temporatly use the mouse, but considering what i know form electronices a small thin piece of plastic should not make that much of a differance. It is a very bad mouse and if another similer mouse cost 5 dollors more just pay the 5 dollars for a better mouse. This is the worest mouse i have ever purchased.

3 out of 5 stars Fixed my wheel.......2007-01-08

The mouse is pretty normal, and inexpensive. The mouse is small for my XL hand size. I didn't like the remote receiver configuration, should have gotten one for a laptop. I totally didn't like the intermittent wheel operation. At first I thought it was my system or the internet. Then I read some reviews here. I took the mouse apart and cleaned the optical device (with the bottom of my t-shirt) and it is working fine now.

1 out of 5 stars Drives you nuts.......2006-12-09

The scroll wheel has such a bad lag time in responding I disabled vertical scrolling altogether! This mouse is driving me nuts.

And yes, I did take apart and apply said 'fix' for the wheel. Alas, it didn't work very well.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse - Black

Product Description

Keep your desktop clutter-free with the wireless mouse that works up to six feet away from the receiver - even if your computer is out of sight. Have fun using the one of a kind, wider scroll wheel to move through documents quickly without using the scroll bar. The optical sensor has no moving parts to clean, so your mouse stays smooth and precise and offers greater reliability. All the sensor needs is a surface with a small amount of detail, including wood, plastic, or even your trouser leg. The ergonomic shape makes it comfortable and easy to use in either right or left hand. It is also suitable for small and large hands - so it is great for the whole family. Black top and silver metallic accents add style to your desktop. Using Intellipoint mouse software (included), you can customize the mouse buttons to fit your personal working style.

1 out of 5 stars If you research this mouse before making a deicsion, you won't buy it.......2006-06-07

When I picked up this mouse, I believed it would be a good buy based on my past experience with the Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse (with cord). That mouse, btw is a great buy and has lasted me a long time.

That said, I longed for a cordless mouse. This mouse worked excellently for the first 2 weeks I had it. Then one night while playing a game, it simply stopped. The cursor wouldn't budge. I tried reseting the channels (hold down button on the base receiver and bottom of the mouse itself) I also changed the batteries and reinstalled software. Having a mouse fail this quickly makes me suspect a larger problem, which is confirmed by many other respected product review websites online.

Before you invest your hard earned money on this mouse, I'd strongly caution you to take a closer look at reviews.

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy - if you intent to use with Laptop.......2005-07-17

Many drawbacks:
* The receiver for this mouse is almost as big as the mouse itself and is connected to a long cord, making it pointless for use with a laptop.
* Once I start using then I realize it requires battery every 1-2 months!!!
* I have been using this occasionally since last 10 months and just replaced battery now but it stops functioning at all. I tried re-installing DRIVERS (supplied by Microsoft), re-installing battery, restarting my computer 5 times (which I do not prefer because USB is plug & play) and all possible things (trust me!!!) but no luck. It is like dead investment (looks nice but no use).

1 out of 5 stars Quickly broke; no response from Microsoft.......2004-11-28

After only a few weeks of use, this mouse began to act strangely: random disconnects, spots of lag, and other odd occurences. Soon after the initial problems it completely broke and stopped working. I tried different kinds of fresh batteries and plugged it into several different PCs to no avail. It hasn't worked since.

An e-mail to Microsoft months ago elicited no response.

Even before it broke, it wasn't that good of a mouse. Don't waste your money.

1 out of 5 stars Works Great.......2004-09-10

I was thrilled by the performance of this gadget for 3 weeks.
Then it died.

5 out of 5 stars The best I've tried.......2004-08-04

I just received this mouse today, so I have no idea how it will perform over time. However, having used cordless mice before, I am VERY happy with this particular one. It has the exact same shape and feel as the Logitech corded optical mouse that came with my Dell a year ago. It's sleek, and even with two AA batteries, isn't too heavy, as some cordless mice are.

I find it very accurate and very responsive. It performs at least as well as any corded mice I've used over the years. I have the base unit positioned about 18-20 inches away from the mouse itself, and it is NOT in direct line of sight.

You can't beat the price, the shape and feel of the mouse is excellent, and so far the performance is top notch!
