All that fluff and gunk that gets stuck to the rollers and stops your mouse from working properly, that needs to be cleaned off regularly. Well what did you think I was talking about? Well after getting annoyed with the bog standard mouse supplied with Ernie, trusty computer for about the hundredth time, I thought there has got to be ...  Read the complete review

"Tech boys," I called, "I need a nice new mouse, this old ball-roller's clogged up to death!" "Why certainly, dear boy, pick one up to £30 and best of luck to you!" Came their cheerful reply, bless 'em. Onto PC World I went and had a look around. The mouse I chose was the Microsoft ...  Read the complete review

The simple mouse. It has been around for ages, and yet remains the most popular way of interacting with desktop computers. As it is used so often, I wonder why people put up with using the cheap, tacky and uncomfortable mouse that maybe came with their PC. When I was getting fed up with using the ugly lump of plastic with a few buttons plonked on ...  Read the complete review

Way overpriced I thought, when lookin for a new rodent friend in PC World a couple of months ago!! Ahh, but, doesn't need cleaning!! Well, sometimes it does, I found that polishing ( sad I know) the little gliding pads underneath made it even better!! Use any furniture polish, just keep a firm grip on it afterwards ( the mouse ). ...  Read the complete review

Or how about running the mouse over the same piece of mousepad over and over again to get it to scroll? Well, the answers to your hair pulling are here!

Every knows what its like when you've been using your mouse for a while and dirt and dust builds-up on the mouse ball and those tiny little wheels that the mouse ball moves to make to guide the cursor on the screen. Takes ages to get it off and even then it ends up hiding inside the mouse itself. You have to push down really hard on the ...  Read the complete review

I'd read many reviews about it, I'd compared it to many reviews about many other mice, and then I stepped into the exotic world of Optical Mice. Was it a good move? Yeah! I ordered the Microsoft Intellimouse Optical mouse online as it was considerably cheaper than at high street stores. The mouse handilly came with a USB to PS/2 ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I bought my pc I have spent several hours a day surfing the net and also using programs like paint shop pro. The mouse that came with my pc didn't last long as it was in constant use and forever needed cleaning.I bought several replacements that cost me around £7-£10 each and these did not last very long either. I ...  Read the complete review

With more and more mouses adopting the optical sensors instead of the conventional mouse balls I decided to invest in one as my old mouse was really getting on my nerves. The Microsoft Optical mouse claims to be "smooth, reliable, precise and durable" and so far it has fulfilled all its claims. Immediately I noticed that this ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Since my early days of computing I'd been content with low cost dodgy mice. You know the sort which only has two buttons and a name that doesn't exactly fill you with trust. After about my third one I decided I wasn't really getting anywhere with these cheapo mice and that it was about time I splashed out. Not to mention my game ...  Read the complete review

It looks pretty and it works (sounds like the ideal partner.) It really is an excellent product. The red light gives a satisfying sci-fi dimension to everyday tasks. More mundanely, it's much smoother to use than a ball mouse. It responds almost instantly. It makes you realise how the mechanical action of a standard mouse has been ...  Read the complete review

I used an Microsoft mouse, and then Intellimouse for several years. I am right handed and found them extremely comfortable. When I first bought this mouse, I found it rather weird, almost uncomfortable to use. By the second day I had it, it felt great though. It comes with a USB plug, though has a PS2 adaptor for computers without USB ...  Read the complete review

This mouse was designed for my hand? Feels like my hand was designed for this mouse, it's that good. I recently decided to upgrade my current mouse (a Logitech wheel mouse) to the Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical which I bought from Dabs.com. Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Upon plugging in the USB connection the ...  Read the complete review

Purchased the Microsoft Mouse with IntelliEye a few months back and it was one of the best purchases I have ever made for my PC. For those of you that don't know about this mouse, its a PC mouse with a laser at the bottom instead of a ball. Now I play alot of mouse based games and found the old type mouses (ball ones) to be very ...  Read the complete review

As soon as I started moving the new mouse around on my desk, I knew I had made a good purchase. Silky - and we're talking silky smooth movement. I immediately started thinking "Hey, I've got something really cool to review here!" I played around with the speed settings to get the proper feel. I was able to have the mouse set ...  Read the complete review

Introduction Mice are notorious for getting dirty leading to sticking or slipping because the rubber ball (or metal in some mice!) does not turn the two little wheels inside the mouse which tell it how you have moved in the X/Y coordinates. However Microsoft have come up with an innovative idea a mouse with no ball! Show how does it ...  Read the complete review

I got this mouse about a month ago, because of all the good things I had heard about it, and I have not been disappointed, even with the £40 price tag. It uses a light which is projected from the bottom of the mouse, to the surface that it is on, to scan it's position every few fractions of a second, and it works really well. You get ...  Read the complete review

Fed up with my old mouse clogging up all the time, I decided to splash out on the Intellimouse Optical. From the word go you'll wonder how you ever managed without it, its surprising just how much responsive it can be. What's more there is no cleaning required - well almost. Although there are no rollers to clog up I've ...  Read the complete review
