iGo Mini Wireless Bluetooth Optical Mouse Stowaway Travel Mouse for PDA, Laptop & Desktop Computers MSBTUER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned one of these for several years and I love it. Problem is that Outside The Box no longer makes it and it has not been built for over 2 years now. Shoptronics is getting rid of the inventory that they still have. The one I purchased seemed to be repacked and did not work. Warranty claims with the manufacturer are not available so I returned it about 6 weeks ago and I am still waiting for my refund, which BTW was approved before I sent it back. Got a letter yesterday from Amazon saying that they would be crediting my card in the next few days. Will see. I do trust Amazon.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mouse as a replacement for my MS Optical Mouse (which broke). The price seemed reasonable enough, and I'd never had a wireless mouse before so I decided to give this one a try. Software installation from the CD was quick and simple (Windows 2000 Pro) though I had to reboot 'for changes to take effect'. The mouse was recognized once plugged in and it's works just fine.
The lack of cord isn't as noticable as I had hoped it would be. I almost opted for the 'wired' Intellimouse with the side buttons instead (5 buttons in total) - I still think they would be handier than having a wireless mouse (thankfully they didn't make it shaped like a TV remote;)) The Intellimouse software on the CD (you can get it from MS's site as well) is great, I've been using it since I bought my last MS mouse about a year ago.
Battery life seems to be ok - I've had the mouse about a week now and it hasn't died on me yet.
Sometimes the cursor gets a little jumpy, overall it's just like every other mouse I've owned. I wouldn't recommend if you're big into gaming (because it's jumpy), but like I said in the title, it's still just a mouse, and it works fine.

Macally ECOMOUSE USB Optical Mouse White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a new mouse to replace the Apple pro 1-click that came with my iMac computer. The Apple pro was no longer being made and the Apple Mighty Mouse seemed mighty expensive for something that was still different from what I was used to. I decided to try the Macally ECO mouse. I was glad I did. This mouse responds well and can be used like a 1-click, however you will find the right click useful as well and can program it to what you want - I use it as the "back" key function. The thumbwheel is nice too but to go right or left you have to still use the keyboard shift key with it. The mouse also moves nicely, it doesn't drag. The ECO mouse has a button on top which you can switch to a 1600 dpi resolution - it is convenently located and yet you DO NOT accidently press it. I haven't used it yet but for some gaming I hear it is usefull. I like the long cord, as it gives you room and is also really flexible, not stiff. I like to sit back with the mouse pad in my lap to play a game and this really gives you room. I wanted to try the wireless but after reading reviews I didn't like the idea of constantly running battery power down or replacing batteries. For less than the price of the Mighty Mouse I got the ECO mouse and another Macally mouse for an older iMac computer I have for the kids. Both of the Macally Mice hooked up to the iMac computers in seconds and we were ready to go.

Dynex Optical Mouse Review

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.

Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse (930754-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, I've been using this one for about a month now and it's definitely growing on me.
Here's the Pro's:
1. Wireless, no cords catching on anything no distance restrictions.
2. Good looking
3. Easy to set up, just plug it in and it works, installing the software is another issue I'll address in a second.
4. NIMH Batteries with a reciever/recharger, the power lasts forever, and simply placing the mouse in the reciever to recharge is a great idea.
5. Semi-customizable buttons may add diversity for some users (I haven't found it very useful with the applications I use.)
The Cons:
1. NOT FOR BIG HANDS!! The ergonomic design is, from what I can tell, aimed at people with small to medium sized hands. I however am 6'5" and have extra large hands that do not fit the ergonomics of this mouse at all, it was actually very uncomfortable at first, but I've slowly gotten used to it.
2. Glitchy control in some applications. From what I've read this issue has to do more with Logitechs software than with the mouse. I use a lot of Adobe and Macromedia products for Graphic and Web design and this mouse just doesn't seem to want to work well with any of them. Left clicking while holding short cut keys has lead to all kinds of strange and annoying results. (to many to list)
3. Limited programming, with my previous mouse (Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer) I had the option of programming each button to activate just about any command I could think of, with any key combination I could want, which made my shortcuts in design applications a breeze, that mouse would also change the button functions depending on which program I had open.
The Logitech is very limited in the options that can be tagged to a button and they are also global, meaning they have the same function in all programs no matter what.
Not a big con for most but it stands out for me as a designer.
4. Bad and intrusive software. While installing this software I was asked if I wanted to install Wild Tangent software, which I have found is connected to Gator Corp software (a spyware/adware service, basically a program that notifies it's owners when ever you click on a site that sells something so that they can pop up ads with similar products at their leisure on your computer) not cool!
After opting out of those two the Logitech software still installed Logitechs Adware application Logitech Desktop on my PC, and with it a couple of executables that caused numerous problems and hogged up my PC resources, this culprit came up in my task manager with the mysterious lable BackWeb-884760.exe (can't remeber the exact numbers). However after uninstalling the Logitech Desktop software all of my problems were solved.
So all in all a great mouse for people with average sized hands, yet sporting some bad software issues, for people with the money I would recommend having a look at the Microsoft opticle wireless first, compare the two for yourself and then make a decision.

Cordless Technology with Corded ResponsivenessThe Logitech MX700 just raised the bar of expectation on precision and control. With its powerful MX optical engine, the MX700 instantly responds to even your fastest movements. The rechargeable Fast RF cordless technology gives the responsiveness of a corded connection, but without the cord. Two Cruise Control buttons provide continuous scrolling through long documents or websites. And the rapid charge base station acts as a receiver and a charger in one.

Logitech Optical USB Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a notebook with a touchpad and I've been very happy with it until recently when the buttons starting crapping out. I started looking around for a mouse and was overwhelmed by the dizzying array of different ones out there. This is the 6th one I've tried and think it may be the one.
I tried wireless and it was okay but I'm much happier with the performance of the corded ones. Then there were some that had so many buttons I couldn't figure out what to do with them all; I kept hitting them accidentally and they usually ended up disabled. Some felt cheap and I thought the scroll wheel might actually fall off of one.
That brings me to this one. For me, this is a perfect mouse. It's not the most attractive one around but it's not really ugly. I have medium-sized hands and it fits nicely. There are no rubber grips but the plastic around the bottom is textured so it's easy to grip. The buttons are quiet and very easy to click. They are solid and don't feel like they might fall off as some of the cheaper ones do. The scroll wheel is great; it's a solid black rubber and rolls smoothly but clicks slightly too. It also has a tilt-wheel for those interested in that feature. The performance is fabulous.
You can use it without the Logitech software but if you want full use of all the features you have to download the software. If you have a slow connection this can be a real pain as the file is quite large. I ended up going to the public library and downloading it to a stick memory; it took all of five minutes. On my system (Windows XP) I found that I also have to keep the software running in the background if I want to have use of the tilt-wheel and the middle button; but you can disable it and still have use of two buttons and the scroll wheel. Really, unless you need the tilt-wheel and the middle button there is no reason to even download the software unless you have the same problem I do. When I switched to a USB mouse, my Windows Mouse settings started acting funny; they won't stay where I set them, even if I click 'Apply.' Whenever I restart, all the settings go back to Default. I don't have this problem though when I use the Logitech software.
If you want an inexpensive mouse that's easy to use and works great for moving your pointer around, and also has some additional features should you choose to use them, this one can't be beat!

Kensington 72114 Pocket USB Mouse (PC/Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mouse for my PowerBook, primarily for use when away from home. For my large hands, I have traditionally preferred large mice, such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and the (no longer available) full-size Logitech MouseMan series. However, I do find this mouse to be perfectly acceptable, especially given its portable dimensions. For me, it is much more comfortable than the slightly smaller, but more expensive Pocket Mouse SE (72118). It is comfortable enough that when I get home, I pull it out of its included stuff sack and plug it into my Kensington Keyboard-in-a-Box (64350) which serves as a two-port USB hub when plugged into my PowerBook. Thus, it also makes a reasonable compact desktop mouse.
In terms of performance, it has worked on any reasonable surface. I have had no problem using it on a variety of surfaces including solid-wood desks, laminate desks, standard mouse pads, a deeply textured couch, jeans, and the comforter on my bed. The only problematic surfaces have been a shiny metal file cabinet top and a holographic mouse pad, but this is to be expected. For the price I can't complain.
As far as compatibility is concerned, I have had no problems with my Mac running OS X (10.3) or my PC running Windows XP Professional. No driver installation was required for either system.
I'd highly recommend this as carry-along mouse for most portable computer users.

Macally RFMouse USB Wireless Optical Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As the owner of an iMac G5, I found a need to replace the keyboard and mouse that came with the machine - and this is the mouse I've finally settled on - and it's perfect.
In the past week I've tried out the Logitech Cordless Duo Mouse, the Kensington Wireless Optical Desktop mouse (both part of a keyboard/mouse package) as well as the optical Macally iceMouse, and I wasn't please with either of them - primarily from an ergonomic standpoint.
But after orienting myself to how I would work with my machine at home, I realized I didn't have a need for a wireless keyboard, but a wireless mouse would be a huge benefit. So I returned the iceMouse and purchased the RFMouse, and it's awesome!
Here is a quick run down:
[PROS]
1. Excellent ergonomic design - extremely comfortable to hold.
2. 3-buttons and a scroll wheel, which is all I need.
3. Wireless w/ rechargeable (4) batteries included.
4. Battery charger located in the receiver, which is a nice bonus.
5. Color coordinates with the iMac.
6. Very smooth scroll wheel, with great tactile response.
7. Power switch ON the mouse so you can reduce battery consumption - brilliant!
[CONS]
1. Scroll wheel seems to sit a little higher up toward the hand than the previous mice I've tested - definitely easy to get used to, it just means moving your finger up a little more to scroll and click.
2. That's it!
It's a great compliment to the Macally ICEKey Keyboard, which as a combination is a perfect replacement for the stock Apple products. Granted, everyone has their own preference when it comes to mice, but after testing out 3 mice that appear to be the leaders that cater to the Mac line of computers, the Macally RFMouse is stellar.
Enjoy!
P.S. To the reviewer who gave the product 1 star because it is right-hand biased - how is that review suppose to help anybody? the majority of mice on the market are for right-handed people - and it's been my experience that if a mouse is left-hand oriented, THAT is printed on the packaging - I think most people assume it to be right-handed.

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical Review

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.

i-rocks Superman Optical Mouse (Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very nice mouse, will be buying at least one more for my other lappy. Very light, excellent for smaller hands, best mouse I have ever used.
My last mouse was a Microsoft Intellimouse, so I was looking for side buttons for back and forward. There is no software to load, so that is nice, except the back/forward buttons seem reversed to me and there is no easy way to change them. I have read about a driver that can be download from the web, but I found it easier to just live with the buttons the way they are...I actually like the back button up top, since its easier to hit and used 10x more than the forward button.

Dell RP962 / PY777 Optical 5-Button USB Mouse w/ Scroll Wheel (MOA8BO) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally, a mouse that does what I want. This mouse has the usual right and left click buttons with a mouse wheel. This wheel not only rolls, it tilts right and left to act like two more buttons and can be pressed down to act like a third button. Then there are the two additional side buttons (e.g. forward and backward). It is called a five button mouse, but it is more like a seven button mouse. I have been unable to find another mouse that does all that this one does, and is reliable and easy to use. The only down side is it is an optical mouse, not a laser mouse, so it is not as precise in its movements as a laser mouse. But with a bit of care and patience, I can still make my one pixel tweaks on artwork.
Caution: this mouse will not perform well unless you get the Dell Mouse Suite software to drive it. The Mouse Suite software lets you configure the buttons to do what you want. I own three of these mice and use them on XP, Vista and Vista 64 bit operating systems without any problems. I found the (free) R140482.EXE Mouse Suite driver download at the Dell web site at:

Creative Labs Optical Mouse 5000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yeah.. See that black thumb grippy bit there on the left edge of this little wonder? Well, that thing is glued on not with any kind of commercial bonding adhehsive, but with something.. else.
How do I know? Because that grippy black bit is rubber and squishy and behind it, turns out, is a layer of a thick, wet tar that barely adheres to the mouse. It took me months to realize that the gummy black resinous gunk on my thumb was actually seeping out from the base of this black rubber pad and it's just an oily tar. It's kind of revolting.
I've had it way too long to send back, and I'd be too embarrassed to sell it on ebay so I'm just gonna' Purell my hands again and come whine about it here.

Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse 1000 -Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an update to my November 2004 review of this product:
After 19 months of use, the mouse was showing some signs of wear. While it still worked very well, it looked to me like the 4 pads on the underside of the mouse (where it contacts the desk surface) were beginning to wear and the mouse wasn't sliding quiet as buttery-smoothe as it did originally. I could have lived with this for a LONG time, but since these mice are so cheap (a little over $20), I decided to replace it. I replaced it with the SAME identical model because it is still a perfect mouse and I can't imagine anything I'd like better.
I don't really get the negative reviews for this mouse. It has worked flawlessly and has just the right functions and touch/feel for me.
(BTW, I was kinda lazy and tried to just substitute the new mouse for the old mouse, without replacing the receiver. That did not work; apparently the mouse is matched to its receiver. No problem ... it took an additional 5 minutes to crawl under the desk and unplug the old receiver from the USB port and plug in the new one.)
Here is my original review from Nov 2004:
I just received and installed this mouse. So, my rating does not reflect any experience with long-term use or durability.
My old Dell-branded Intellimouse was wearing out, so I bought a new Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 (an optical mouse). It worked fine but I hated the feel of the wheel button. I am addicted to using the wheel button as a double click. The feel of the wheel button was very heavy, requiring a very heavy press, and so basically ruined its functionality as a double click button.
I set it aside and bought a new MS Standard Wireless Optical Mouse. Beware, the Control Panel Mouse setup lists 85 million different models of Microsoft mouse, but not this one. Indeed none of the drivers would work fully. I had to download a driver (Intellimouse 5.2) from the MS website, before I could fully configure this MS Standard Wireless Optical Mouse.
I really didn't want a USB connector (the Wireless Intellimouse Explorer came with an adaptor that allowed the USB connector to plug into the regular PS/2 mouse port on the back of the computer. I tried the adaptor on the new mouse but it didn't seem to work.) However, it works fine off of my USB hub and I guess I can live with whatever problems that may present. I may hang on to my old wire-connected mouse in case I need it for backup.
Also, this is your basic two-button+wheel mouse. It does not have the fancy extra side buttons of the Intellimouse Explorer and others 2.0. But I was not really interested in those anyway.
The new Standard Wireless Optical Mouse has a really nice light feel, better than any mouse I've owned. It performs smoothly and flawlessley and fits my somewhat-smaller-than-average hand very well.
They are dirt cheap and work beautifully. So go for it.

Logitech LX6 Cordless Optical Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a mouse mouse to use on one of my other computers and just happened to stumble across this nice LX6 on clearance at target. Since I have an LX7 on my main computers, I figured I'd give this one a shot.
First off, the differences. As far as I can tell, the only differences is the lack of back/forward buttons, the large receiver, and some very minor design changes.
Performance wise, this mouse seems to work just as well as my LX7. Both are rather heavy using a pair of AA batteries, but in turn you get outstanding battery life. My LX7 will last at least 4 months of pretty heavy daily use. A little side note, if the weight is really a problem, the mouse will work with a single battery. I have not tested this for an extended time but have confirmed both my LX6 and LX7 will work without both batteries...go figure!)
Buttons have a nice feel to them. While I don't use the left/right scroll-wheel click, all other clicks have a soft feel. I will say they are almost too soft. Well, except for the center-click, though it seems much easier on the LX6 than my LX7.
There's really not much else to say regarding this fairly basic mouse. However, if all you need is a basic mouse, this is probably about as good as they get. No software is required either (unless you do want the left/right wheel clicks)

The only issue was its short life span: it died on me last week, without warning. No LED light, nothing. By reading the other comments, it looks like I'm not the only one who experienced this issue.
It is so convenient that I would buy it again, if Targus updated this model. For now I think I'll stick with a sturdier model, even if it is bigger.
