Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer

I like it well enough. nothing terribly fancy. not a million buttons to accidentially hit and its wireless. Very cool. The only bad thing I could really say is that it runs off of batteries and sometimes my computer stays on for two, three days at a time and it kills the battery. But I know thats my fault. It's attractive looking and it's an optical. It is very comfortable to use. Im on my computer every day working on stuff and I love the feel of this one and ease of the scrolling device in the middle, it glides instead of clicks like my last one. And my hand forms to it perfectly. couldn't ask for a better ...  Read the complete review

(Please note: This review was also written by me for Ciao under the name Louizalass) ***** WARNING!!! This mouse was designed for right-hand users only – there is no way a left-hander could use it!!! I WAS GIVEN this Trackball mouse by my husband for Christmas because with my arthritis I was finding it painful when using the old style standard mouse which came with our computer. We had previously looked at some fancy ergonomically designed mouses (mice?!!!) at PC World and the ones which would have probably suited me even better where priced nearer £100 and that was just a few pounds too far! At £50 this mouse, ...  Read the complete review

Microsoft's New Intellimouse is just what it name claims it to be. Intelligent. Any heavy user of a PC will no how inconvenient it is to have to move around a large ball with a plastic case in order to navigate your way around your screen. Basically Microsoft have created a mouse which no longer uses a traditional ball but instead relies on the pictures it takes of the surface you are working on and then gives you the ability to scroll and navigate around the screen with this light weight instrument. However there are certain negativities of this product, for instance, the mouse is not really new technology. Although it was only recently released, there ...  Read the complete review

For more than thirty years, whilst the rest of the hardware in your computer had changed beyond recognition, one of the most important tools used with a computer hadn?t. Sure the ergonomics of the mouse has changed with time, making them easier to hold, but the basic technology has always remained the same. The mouse was controlled by a little rubber ball in contact with rubber rollers and this is efficient but as with all things it has now been surpassed. When I purchased my new computer a few months ago, it came with the Intellimouse Explorer. I was intrigued as this mouse had no ball and instead a red light (like a laser) came from the bottom. I won?t go into ...  Read the complete review

This mouse is undeniably good. The little infra-red LED tracer mejobby works a treat and picks up movement on just about every surface you might ever want to use your mouse on. Its weighs less than your average mouse, and looks as good as it works. FEATURES The mouse's main selling point is the IntelliEye infra red tracking device in the base. This very cunningly detects through various supernatural processes whether you moving it about. When you move the whole base starts glowing a deep scarlet lighting up your mousemat in a red aurora. It works very well and eliminates the need for any tinkering due to dirt that you might have to do with normal ...  Read the complete review
