Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Reviews

I can't even remember how long I've had it for, but if my Microsoft Intellimouse ever fails, I will replace it with another - There's nothing this mouse lacks and there's no frilly gimmicks either. In addition to the absolute basics we have a scroll wheel doubling as a third mouse button for browsing and reading and two side buttons for ...  Read the complete review

Having a clean out the other day I came across this Microsoft Intellimouse Optical mouse, a product I had forgotten that we still owned and one that was a faithful servant for a number of years stretching back to when we first bought it five years ago. This is an old style wire mouse which plugs into your PC via a usb port or ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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. ...  Read the complete review

Gone are the days when you spent 10 minutes with a small screw driver trying to get rid of the fluff and gunk that has magically appeared from your imaculatly clean mouse mat! You could say that this is the most important development in mouse ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Well those days are over thanks to an optical sensor which now does away with the ball !

Getting this mouse was possibly one of the best purchases I have made. I play online games a lot so when the mouse ball used to stick in my old mouse it was incredibly infuriating when trying to aim. The Optical technology is a God send and I would reccommend it to anyone who has had problems with their mice before..Go and buy this now! ...  Read the complete review

I've had it with the old mice. The rubber ball always gets dirty or picks up fluff and as a consequence it moves extremely unreliably and makes it harder than the Krypton Factor to open your files. But not anymore. I decided to buy the Intellimouse when I started web-designing. You've got to have a steady hand and a ...  Read the complete review
