Dynex Optical Mouse Review

Dynex Optical Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I would have written a favorable review of this mouse a month ago. After just 3 months of very mild light use, it has failed. The middle mouse button lost all traction and began slipping. The optic lens doesn't track properly. I bought it because it was cheaper than other brands. If you pay more than 1 dollar for this you are being ripped off. There are much better brands out there. This is the third Dynex item I've bought that failed (out of 3 total). The first item was a sound card. I chalked it up to a fluke and I bought a pair of headphones with my mouse. The headphones failed within 14 DAYS. I had only used it a few times and it just stopped transmitting audio.
I've been building my own computers for years, and have a degree in digital audio (as well as a higher degree in another field). I understand hardware and computers. These are very cheaply made in China. This is the one brand I recommend that you avoid like the plague. They already burned me on three products. I won't ever buy from them again.

Kensington 5.0 Expert 4 Button Mouse Review

Kensington 5.0 Expert 4 Button Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own three of these - one for each computer I regularly use. They last forever, and never even need cleaning as they never get jumpy. There is never any slippage, so it works much better than a ball-based mouse for things like Quake where you may want to make fast but precise movements.
There are four buttons which can be programmed to do whatever you want. For example, I set one of the extra buttons to be the back button in my web browser. Now I can move through web sites one-handed without having to move the pointed up over the back button constantly. This also allowed me to switch my IE toolbar to use small icons with no text labels, freeing up screen space.
The only possible suggestion I can come up with is that it would be nice if they added on a scroll-wheel like all the new mice seem to have.
I'll never go back to using regular mice as long as Kensington keeps making these.

Dynex DX-WLMSE Wireless Optical Mouse Review

Dynex DX-WLMSE Wireless Optical Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As far as the operational aspect of the mouse, it's great. Battery life is very good. I never turn it off and I might change out the batteries once every two or three months. It's very accurate. I don't know what some of the other reviewers are talking about saying that this mouse doesn't work completely with FireFox. That's false. I am on FireFox right now and the scroll works fine, the left side button pages back, and the right side button pages forward. Never had a problem with it not working.
I would have given this wireless, optical mouse 5 stars except after owning it for a year, the comfort pads on either side of the mouse have some sticky glue trickling out. It's coming through the seams where the pad meets the plastic and gets on my fingers. It's extremely annoying and even though I wipe it away, more comes out after a short while. Maybe the glue is just getting old and unsolidifying. Who knows?
Anyway, other than the glue thing this is definitely a solid mouse that competes with the more expensive brand-named ones.

Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 4000--Dark Gray (B2P-00006) Review

Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 4000--Dark Gray (B2P-00006)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As always, Microsoft has another great mouse. I am a big fan of Microsoft mice, since they are very anatomic, and very precise. With this mouse, it is no different. It is small, but not tiny, feels very good in my hands. Good precision, good speed.
Included with the mouse is a CD with drivers, including drivers for Mac, which is what I use. It is not necessary to install the drivers in order to use the mouse, but you need it to use some of the extra buttons or to enable non-standard features.
Overall, a very good mouse. A little noisy on clicking, it is true, but not an issue to me.
The middle button includes horizontal and vertical scroll. My only issue with the mouse concerns this button: it is sometimes hard to get the click to work on this button. I use it as a third button in many applications, such as Firefox and X11, and sometimes the click doesn't go through, and I have to click it again.
Other than that, a very good mouse. I would by it again. Really like the Microsoft hardware.

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical Review

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Mouse technology catches up with PC technology.
I am responsible for order PC equipment for my department. I am constantly asked for a new mouse. The reasons are always the same - it won't roll smooth, it sticks, I have to bang it to work. The traditional mouse uses a ball the runs over an actuator. As the spring wares the actuator shift slightly causing the mouse ball to catch on the corner. With optical there is no mouse ball only a beam of light.
I have ordered every type in every price range with the same results. It is fine for a few months then in the garbage. Ironically, the ones that come with the new IBM Net Vista are the WORST.
I was so impressed with my new optical mouse I immediately order 20 more. It feels very comfortable in your hand. My people liked them so much they ordered them for their home PC's. It has been a month now and no problems. I plan to order an additional 40 more before year end.
The only OS I've tried the optical mouse on is Windows 2000. There is no need to load additional software. We also swap out the mouse while the PC's are running. No need to reboot.

Microsoft has replaced the old-fashioned mouse ball with the Wheel Mouse Optical, featuring an IntelliEye optical sensor to provide smooth and precise motion. Without a mouse ball, there are no moving parts to clean or wear down. The IntelliEye optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.
The Wheel Mouse Optical comes with a scroll wheel for scrolling and zooming. Move through documents by simply rolling the wheel forward or backward instead of clicking on a scroll bar. Use the wheel to see either close-up or big-picture views without having to use menus or toolbars (in compatible applications). The mouse also features an ambidextrous design for comfort. Whether you are left-handed or right-handed, have a large or small hand, the design of the Wheel Mouse Optical feels comfortable.
The Wheel Mouse Optical's IntelliEye optical sensor scans the desktop 6,000 times per second, delivering smooth, precise motion on virtually any surface, even through dirt, dust, and fingerprints. The IntelliEye sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail (e.g., glass) or surfaces where it will see its reflection (for example, mirrors or glossy surfaces). The sensor may also have difficulty tracking on highly repetitive patterns (for example, some printed photographs from magazines or newspapers).
Microsoft offers a three-year warranty on the Wheel Mouse Optical.

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse Review

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
like the title says, this mouse is a great value, sitting between the intellimouse explorer and intellimouse wheel. it fits my hand perfectly too, as it is not as big at the explorer.
fuctionwise, the tracking is unparalleled--the new intellieye scanning at 6,000 times per second makes the mouse virtually skip-free, unlike older optical mice. the 5 fully programmable buttons are awesome too. the inteiipoint software allows you to assign different functions to different buttons, in different programs! i even have a button that saves my document in microsoft word! it's really a brilliant invention.
my only gripe about this mouse is its weight. it is on the light side, and i hear the hollow cluck every time i pick it up when i'm playing a game. i've grown used to it by now, but it took a couple of weeks.
in short, i believe this is the perfect mouse for me. its optical eye works great, the buttons are ingenious, and the low price at amazon.com (...) make this mouse the best bang for your buck!

Dell Black Deluxe USB Optical Scroll Mouse XN966 Review

Dell Black Deluxe USB Optical Scroll Mouse XN966
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had one of these when I got my computer about 3 years ago. I started having problems with it (broke down and opened it to figure out how to fix it and it fell apart, so don't do that lol!). I couldn't figure if it was on the computer side or the mouse side. Decided to get another one. When I got this one, the buttons felt really tight, harder to click than my original one. So I guess I really was due for a new one. I had been using my old fat mouse as a replacement till I got this new one. It hurt my hand to grip it. So I would say that this slim mouse is a lot easier to handle and use. I recommend it!

Kensington Expert Mouse Optical USB Trackball for PC or Mac 64325 Review

Kensington Expert Mouse Optical USB Trackball for PC or Mac 64325
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Almost every day I work for hours using a Computer Aided Design program, and over the years have found the Kensington Expert Trackball to be an indispensible labor (and arm) saving device. You get so much with so little movement! I was looking to buy a new one.
I had misgivings about this product after reading some "Worse than Bad" reviews that were in this forum. Still, either because hope springs eternal or a fool and his money are soon parted, I went ahead and ordered one.
Out of the box ball rotation was _The Worst_ as others had said. I had deadlines, however, so decided to use it to see if anything would improve. Two hours later it had "broken in".
Trackball Wizards, my number five is on the trophy shelf. The Seven is AAMMAAZZIINNGG. Totally silent movement; virtually frictionless rotation; excellent functionality, and it has GOT to have one of the most eloquent designs of any input device on the market.
As an added bonus the scroll ring beats any scroll wheel I have used, anywhere.
Congratulations to Kensington for creating a truly superior product.

Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 Review

Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I will be the first to criticize Microsoft when they add onto bloatware, release software which is not yet ready for market, and on and on......and yet I will also give credit where credit is due. The Microsoft Optical Mouse 3000 is an excellent product and a great value.
The Microsoft Optical Mouse 3000 is simply a well designed mouse and dollar for dollar, it is very hard to beat. Initially, I went to the office supply store to find a cheap optical mouse as mine kept on getting jammed with crud.....I had seen some optical mice advertised as low as $6.95. But once you see them in person, and feel them in your hands, you soon realize exactly **why** they are only $6.95. The 3000 feels nice in your hand, and has features built in for this price range which are, quite frankly, surprising. One is the 5X zoom feature- keep your hand on the mouse and click a button on the side and voila! Instant 5x magnification of a small area around the cursor. Very nice. You will probably not always use it, but it is a nice function to have at hand. Another very nice feature(which you most likely will use) is the lateral scroll with the wheel. No more clicking and dragging on the elevator to move left and right.....simply push the wheel left and right, and you will scroll in that same direction.
Again, Microsoft has its shortcomings and I will be the first to say so. But I will also give credit where credit is due.....and for the money, this mouse cannot be beat. Buy it.

An integrated scroll wheel lets you scroll through documents and Web pages more quickly and easily with this ergonomic, four-button mouse. Plus, the new Magnifier lets you easily enlarge and edit details.
Microsoft High-Definition Technology Whether you're working on a document, perusing a Web page, or playing the latest video game, you can enhance your performance with the Comfort Mouse 3000's high-definition technology. It delivers more precision and responsiveness while offering smoother tracking on more surfaces than ever before. To put it simply, it's the most advanced tracking system available.
Full Tilt Scroll up and down and side to side more smoothly, efficiently, and easily with the innovative four-way tilt wheel. It's simply a more efficient way to navigate documents, spreadsheets, and Web pages. The entire scroll wheel tilts from side to side, acts as a button, and reacts to how quickly you roll the wheel to enable smooth, accurate maneuverability. For example, if you're working with a super-wide worksheet, you can tilt the wheel from side to side to scroll right and left, without clicking tiny scroll arrows.
All Hands Welcome Lefties rejoice! The Comfort Mouse 3000 is made to be used in either hand, making it highly versatile. No matter which hand you use, customizable buttons offer quick access to the media, programs, and files you use most often.

Logitech Internet 250 Desktop Vista Keyboard and Mouse Review

Logitech Internet 250 Desktop Vista Keyboard and Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very pleased with this purchase. I wanted a keyboard and mouse that connected via PS/2 (old style plugs) instead of USB. The keyboard is well constructed and attractive without all the "bells & whistles" that I would not use anyway. The mouse also performs well and feels very comfortable in your hand. I have had good luck with quite a few Logitech products. If you want an excellent "no frills" keyboard and mouse which utilize the PS/2, plug type connection to free up your USB ports for other peripherals, I would highly recommend this product. It gets "two thumbs up" from me!
