Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical

At work we have a lot of computers, as to be expected these computers each have a mouse. The purchasing of all the computers and associated equipment is done by our IT department. The mouse of choice is Microsoft’s Optical Wheel Mouse. Part of my work involves the testing employees work based knowledge, this is done with the use of a large number of computers and this involves in excess of three hundred candidates. Not all of these candidates are computer literate, so I not only guide them through the tests but I also find myself assisting the candidates in the use of the computers themselves. The tests are point, click and drag type tests so ...  Read the complete review

I've reviewed quite a few mice in my time on this site. Some of you may start thinking that I have some sort of mouse fetish, I don't, I simply seem to come across quite a lot of mice in my day to day work! You see, I work as an IT Consultant for Doctors Surgeries, and sometimes that means doing stuff like installing mice! So, I get this new mouse on my desk the other day, it's a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. Hey, this was the mouse I was going to buy myself instead of my Logitech Optical mouse that I bought. Microsoft make good mice, theres no denying that. They are the leader in the field of mice and probably will be for a long time, with ...  Read the complete review

Since before Christmas, my poor mouse has been having a very hard time. Its ball just wasn't working any more. Despite frequent operations to clean the offending article, it was obviously worn out (poor thing) and needed to be put out to grass to end its days peacefully. Nothing is more frustrating than a mouse whose ball just won't roll. So finally, last weekend I decided to retire the existing mouse, and replace it with one that would point when and where I wanted it to, instead of half-heartedly jerking its way across its little mat. Not being particularly mechanically minded, I had a browse on-line to see what versions were avaiable. Prices ...  Read the complete review

After travelling faithfully miles up and down and around the mousemat we thought it about time to retire our mouse. It kept getting hairs and what have you around the rollers and sticking and generally playing up. We thought that we had had enough of that kind of mouse and we would spend out and buy a microsoft optical wheel mouse. This mouse has no balls and all is done by lazer beam. You can still use it left or right handed and you have a really useful middle wheel. This is for scrolling. If you have never had a scroll wheel before you will wonder how on earth you managed to survive without one. No more having to to point the arrow to ...  Read the complete review
