Advantages: easy to install , simple design

Disadvantages: no many functions

If you are looking for a basic mouse will a scroll wheel then look no further.

Optical mice have obvious advantages over the traditional ball ones, dudt and other such stuff cannot get get trapped in the moving parts (there aren't any) anf they can be used on almost any surface.

Now this mouse isn't going to win any style awards, it is what it is; a functional mouse. It has the two main buttons found on any pc mouse, that is the right and left buttons. There is also a scroll wheel which also acts as third button, although seems to have now become the standard.

The software that came with the mouse was easy to install and use on xp, it allows all the usual features such as double click time and also the ability to set the buttons to different functions.

I got this mouse of ebay, it came with a MS natural multimedia keyboard (see my other reviews) and a USB to PS/2 convertor incase you don't want to take up a USB port. This was a brnad new package and cost me £20

I have had no problems with this mouse, and would happily recomend it to anyone, unless you want a mouse with more buttons and functions. This mouse can be used by left or right handed people with no problems.
