Advantages: no ball, extra buttons, ambidexterous

Disadvantages: need a surface with no pattern or reflection

This mouse is by far the best I have ever used.

It has an excellent feel and can be used by right and left handed people. Well made. Light but very robust and is sized very nicely.

This mouse is great for heavy gamers or internet browsers as it has a geared scroll wheel and 2 extra buttons which you can assign many different functions made available by the intellipoint software. Great for things like ‘back’ and ‘forward’ in the web browser and for quick access to moves in fast FPS games like quake which I play a lot of.

One of the best features is the optical eye instead of the ball which can soon become clogged up with dust and stick annoyingly. This is some thing that can be very critical when playing quake, if you need to make a fast move and you ball sticks, it could cost you a frag. Although you need a mousing surface that doesn’t have patterns or is reflective other wise you will experience adverse effect such as the cursor jumping around the screen.
