Ideazon Reaper Gaming Mouse Review

Ideazon Reaper Gaming Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, I own 3 of them, all used heavily for gaming, and that in itself says something. It does have some problems but I still gave it 5 stars because despite them it is in my opinion the best mouse I ever had, including some more expensive gaming mice.
Let's start with negatives. It might look unusual but if for somebody those negatives are really critical, there is no point reading about positives. So:
1.It isn't really programmable. The side buttons are Home, End, Backspace and that's pretty much it. It usually isn't a problem since you can redefine buttons in game, but if you want to assign some complex macros on them, forget about it.
2.Sensitivity is usually reset to the default 800 when switching between fullscreen and windowed mode, sometimes between applications but I don't remember it resetting during the actual play. But wouldn't bet too much on that.
3.Optional driver does provide visual response on sensitivity change but it usually doesn't work in fullscreen.
4.One of the side buttons is hard to reach with your thumb, at list for me, so I push it with an index finger. Still better than not having a button at all.
5.One of the mice came with a defective cord that failed a few months. See, however, below about customer service.
Now the positives:
1.After that mouse left a request on their site, was asked to fill online some form and was given an instruction how to send it back. Which was to pack it in any box and call UPS for pickup. So the guy came took my box and after less than a week I received a brand new mouse in a sealed retail box. All completely free of any charges, no shipping, no nothing. Frankly, I was impressed. Don't have any problems since then.
2.Works very reliably on various surfaces.
3.Glides smoothly enough.
4.Aforementioned third side button.
5.Feels comfortable in hand (for 3 of us, your hand may be different).
6.Illuminated logo allows you to easily find it when screen went dark in a dark room. It isn't gaming related but still nice, I think.
7.Wheel button offers enough resistance to not press it unintentionally while switching weapons. That's important for me because I almost always use this button, usually for some weapon related activities like withdrawing weapon.
Overall, if negatives don't scare you I would highly recommend this mouse.

Gear Head Optical Wireless Mouse Review

Gear Head Optical Wireless Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I, like another reviewer, got mine at Big Lots for $13. But, mine has been perfect. It works on ALL, I mean ALL surfaces. It amazes me because it works on high pile carpet, microfiber couch arm, skin, etc. I've had absolutely no problems with mine except that the logo is wearing off because of how much we use it. The USB dongle is on the large size but not bigger than a small USB jump drive.
The size of the unit is great and fits in small hands. If you have large hands you won't like this. My 3yr old daughter can use this mouse without problems.
I really like the "squishy" sides which make gripping the mouse very comfortable.
Remember most people post on the internet when they have bad experiences with things. I ran across this because I was going to order a 2nd one but it's still cheaper at Big Lots. I wasn't going to write a review until I saw how bad of reviews this was getting. It really is a great product that is priced correctly on Amazon or at Big Lots.
It's a better mouse than my wireless mouse that came with my $100 Wireless Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse combo.
edit:
I forgot to mention that the mouse does have an auto shutoff mode which is pretty good. It shuts off with about 1-2 minutes of inactivity. I find this very effective at saving the batteries. Also, this mouse really isn't heavy. The only reason it seems heavy is because of the two batteries it takes. The bottom line is it's not heavier than the 2 other wireless mice I have at work and at home.

Macally ECOMOUSE USB Optical Mouse White Review

Macally ECOMOUSE USB Optical Mouse White
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

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 PocketMouse Wireless Mini Travel Mouse ( 72214 ) Review

Kensington PocketMouse Wireless Mini Travel Mouse ( 72214 )
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The good news is that this small, cordless mouse will definitely work out a lot better than the full-size, corded mouse I had been using with my Mac PowerBook. (Whenever possible, I prefer to use my PowerBook as a kind of pseudo-desktop computer by connecting an external keyboard and mouse.) The small size of both the mouse and the receiver will make them much easier to pack up and take along with the PowerBook when it's time to go away on vacation, and the absence of a cord is already making life a lot easier in my somewhat cramped work environment. And now that I've figured out all its quirks and gotten past all its roadblocks, this mouse is very easy to control.
The bad news is all those quirks and roadblocks.
Most of them, I can help you avoid, but there's one I can only warn you about and tell you to persevere. The first thing you gotta do is insert two AAA batteries into the mouse. The batteries are supplied -- and in my case at least, they were Energizers -- but the battery cover is very difficult to get off. All I can tell you is -- keep pressing down and forward, like the instructions say, and eventually you'll get it. You just might sweat off several pounds first.
The next issue could have been avoided if the instructions had simply told me what NOT to do. (I subsequently emailed Kensington and WAS told NOT to do it.) To connect the cordless mouse, you plug a tiny receiver into the USB port in lieu of a cord. But you MUST use a port on the computer itself. You CANNOT plug the receiver into a USB hub. If you try to, the receiver's pilot light will light up, but you won't be able to establish a link with the mouse.
(I'm not sure whether it would have worked if I'd plugged the receiver into the external keyboard that was connected directly to my PowerBook. The shape of the keyboard and the receiver made this connection physically impossible. In order to continue using the external keyboard without sacrificing the hub, I had to plug the hub into the port where the keyboard had been, then plug the keyboard into the hub. Fortunately, the keyboard DID work in conjunction with the hub.)
With the receiver properly connected, establishing the link involves simply pressing a button on the receiver, then pressing the "connect" button on the mouse. When you press the receiver button, the pilot light starts to blink. When you establish the link, the pilot light glows steadily, but flickers each time you move the mouse. The linking procedure is simple enough, except that the `connect" button is recessed into the bottom of the mouse, and thus needs a pen or some similar object to press it.
After doing all this, I still thought the mouse wasn't working properly, but to be fair, this issue WAS covered in the instructions. This optical mouse is picky about the surfaces you use it on. It turns out that the worst surface to use is a black, reflective one -- which exactly describes my computer table. After putting the mouse on a sheet of white paper, everything was fine. I have to say, though, that this was NOT an issue with the optical mouse I'd been using -- which is probably why I glossed over that part of the instructions.
Well, now I'm "cooking with gas," as my third-grade teacher used to say, but there are still two quirks I occasionally have to deal with. The first one concerns the ability to turn the mouse off to conserve the batteries, which you do by pressing the scroll wheel, then pressing the connect button while holding the scroll wheel down. The same procedure turns the mouse back on. Most of the time, this works fine, except for the need to use a pen as described earlier. But occasionally, when I turn the mouse back on, the link is broken. This problem is solved by repeating the procedure used to establish the connection initially.
The second quirk would be a problem if I didn't have a cat and a three-year-old daughter. But sometimes, one or the other of them pressed some unknown combination of keys that causes the PowerBook to refuse to respond to the mouse. This problem is solved by unplugging and reconnecting the receiver.
So if you can avoid most of the problems I ran into, you should be up and running with this mouse in no time.

Logitech Optical USB Mouse Review

Logitech Optical USB Mouse
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

Kensington 72114 Pocket USB Mouse (PC/Mac)
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.

Belkin Washable Mouse (F5L007-SCROLL) Review

Belkin Washable Mouse (F5L007-SCROLL)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Belkin is well known for the accessories they make for the Mac, the iPod and just general gadgets like USB hubs. I've been very impressed with every Belkin product I've ever owned. Except perhaps this one, the Belkin Washable Mouse.
How the Washable Mouse differs from most of the other mouses out there is that it can be, as the name implies, washed. And not just wiped off, but rinsed under running water. All mouses become dirty after a while, no matter how good your hygiene is. And you usually dig out some cleaner and a cloth to gently rub the gunk off. The Washable Mouse makes it so you can be more liberal with your cleaner and water if you choose. I just had to douse the mouse in water to see how it held up, and it worked just fine after wiping it down with a towel.
The mouse looks and feels like a traditional mouse except that the top part your hand sets on is sealed in a rubber-like coat. The Washable Mouse features two buttons (if you push them both you get a center-click, something I've never found a use for) and a unique Scroll Pad. The Scroll Pad has no moving parts and is touch sensitive. The Scroll Pad can also side scroll but the oblong shape of it, about the width of your finger, does not bode well for side scrolling.
The Washable Mouse tracks well, although I did have to turn my speed way down from my Mighty Mouse settings. That's mainly because Apple sets the Mighty Mouse at such slow speeds that I always have to crank tracking up one notch from the top speed. As for the Scroll Pad, it didn't seem to scroll very well vertically or horizontally. It was as if it wasn't sensing my fingers some of the time. I found it very frustrating to use.
I found the left and right click buttons to be placed in an uncomfortable position and they felt, well, just plain weird. The rubber coating over the buttons had a much different feel than a traditional mouse.
And the mouse is small. Really small. Granted, Belkin does list the Washable Mouse in their laptop accessories area so that probably explains the small size. That said, I found the mouse just uncomfortable in general.
If you need a mouse that you can clean when it gets funky, the Washable Mouse is definitely for you. You may not be happy with the size and certainly you won't be impressed with the Scroll Pad, but you'll have the cleanest mouse in the neighborhood.

We all know what it's like to return to the same mouse day in and day out. Yesterday's sandwich and this morning's donut has created a sticky, unsanitary sheen that makes working messy business.
This is where the Belkin F5L007-SCROLL Washable Mouse comes in. With all the functionality and performance you'd expect of your mouse--including optical technology and a versatile one-touch scroll pad--this one-of-a-kind mouse can be washed with warm soap and water, ensuring that you can stay comfortable and sanitary while you work or play.
All the Features, Now Washable With a water-resistant design, the washable mouse can endure spills and you can hand-wash it right under a running faucet. Dirt, food, liquids, germs, bacteria--all wash right off with some soap and water. Of course, this washability doesn't come at the cost of features: The mouse employs an optical engine with 1200 dpi for high sensitivity that works on many household surfaces, including upholstery, glass, and wood. A scroll pad allows both vertical and horizontal scrolling with one easy touch. (Horizontal scrolling is only available when used with Windows Vista.)
The mouse features an ergonomic design that works for both righties and lefties. The Belkin Washable Mouse is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X v10.4, and it connects via USB. It is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical Review

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.

Average 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:

Gear Head Wireless Keypad + Optical Mouse Review

Gear Head Wireless Keypad + Optical Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Nice features include the on/off switches on both the keypad and mouse, backspace, and vol. control buttons. No S/W driver CD required to use this - just plug in the USB base/transceiver. Mouse has two buttons and a scroll wheel. The USB/Transceiver has a snap for connecting it together with the keypad for storage.
Once or twice the keypad did not immediately attach to the USB base transceiver, requiring that I press the "connect" button on the bottom of the keypad - probably RF interference w/ my other wireless keypad. Didn't have trouble with the mouse attaching.
Mouse movement overall is pretty smooth. I tried using the mouse with both Windows XP and Vista. The first time I tried the mouse in Vista it was .1% intermittently jittery, and sometimes the mouse button was not responsive, and I had to click it a second time. I haven't been using this very long, so I'm guessing that's attributed to RF interference from my other desktop keyboard. This is only a minor nuisance so far for me.
(note: I tried the mouse later on a second time with both XP and Vista, and it was very fluid and responsive)
The mouse is small and narrow - about half the size of a normal mouse. Movement for its size is tolerable, but I have to lift my hand off of the mouse and hold the thing by the tips of my fingers to use the scroll wheel or click buttons. I suppose its size is useful when sitting at a small desk or small coffee table.
The USB/transceiver's cap does not snap onto the back end of the transceiver, making the cap easy to lose when connected to a PC.
As for Vista compatibility, both keypad and mouse are working with Vista on my Dell Inspiron laptop.
I didn't have problems with the keypad reported by other reviewer(s), but I did notice that due to keypad size, it is sometimes possible to press two keys at the same time. Otherwise, I didn't experience any negative aspects using the keypad.
In summary, this is a great value for travelers on the go. Everyday desktop users will not like the small mouse.

You no longer get the SBF-96 that is advertised (which would also be a ps/2 mouse, NOT usb). I have the SBF-96 & wanted more. The SBF-96 is an excellent mouse. The mouse they send you is the UAE-96, which is a cheaper lower quality USB mouse. The UAE-96 sells for as little as five dollars. Also, it will NOT work with USB to PS/2 adapters. We already HAD a UAE-96, & it is nothing but problems with freezing for example. This WOULD be a great deal if it was actually the higher quality SBF-96. We sent the first UAE-96 back, & got the SAME for replacements after telling them the return was because of the MODEL they send us. We returned the second set also as they are NOT worth the money being charged (UAE-96) bad.

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse Review

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!

HP USB 3 Button Optical Mouse in Retail Packaging Review

HP USB 3 Button Optical Mouse in Retail Packaging

I bought this looking for a cheap mouse to use with my new Dell 1737 with Windows 7. It works just fine. It's very light and there's no mistaking that it's a cheap mouse, but I've had no problems using it. The buttons are responsive, the scroll wheel feels just right, and it tracks very well, both on a mousepad and the wood grain of the table it rests on. It doesn't conform to your hand like a high-end mouse and it doesn't have additional button functions or sidescrolling, but for $10, all I wanted was a mouse that works. This one does, and it's symmetrical design makes it equally useful for left-handed users.

Arrived in a soggy box with no water inside the mouse.
The internal box was packed in a plastic bag, suggesting this may be a known problem.

Kensington Pro Fit USB/PS2 Full Size Wired Mouse (Black) Review

Kensington Pro Fit USB/PS2 Full Size Wired Mouse (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this better than Apple's mouse. It's larger than most mice, which is more comfortable for me. I usually had to accentuate a right-click on Apple's mouse, and this one I don't. The Apple mouse trackball got quickly dirty and unusable. I never could clean it well enough, as the Genius Bar recommended. This one has a trackball that's larger and gets better traction. I don't expect to ever have a problem with the trackball. Overall, this mouse is very comfortable. It seems to be well-built; however, I've only had it for a month or so. I've worked with computers for almost 20 years and never used a better mouse than this.
