Great mouse for Mac or PC...
I always liked MS mice a lot. My first Intellimouse Explorer was great and when I bout the wireless version I was not disappointed either. This new mouse is like the conclusion for me. Great tracking and handling. Works like a charm on my last generation iMac Al. It lies perfectly in my hand and is very light weight. The zoom function is practical, the batteries last quite a while and are rechargeable. What more can you ask for? The thumb buttons are a bit small and need some getting use to, but do not justify a point subtraction. The looks are great as well. I really cannot think of a better mouse except you are left handed... Rating:

Works fine...sometimes
There are aspects of this mouse i liked very much...however, the random skipping, pausing and freezing were not.
When it works, it's fine, but on two different computers, virtually anytime I'd get mouse pointer freezes, skipping, pausing etc. I assume the problem is some kind of wireless communication problem, but I was never able to determine what it was.
The mouse was only a few feet from it's USB transmitter.
So even with this mouse being fine in many respects, it failed miserably in the most important use. That is simply being able to reliably move a mouse pointer.

Not as good as the "Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0"
I purchased this mouse after many years of using a Microsoft "Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0" (from here on out, I'll call it the "WIE" for brevity). I loved that mouse and believe it was nearly perfect. I believe the shape/ergonomics WAS perfect. It was starting to show its age however, and needed replacing. The "Wireless Laser Mouse 7000" looked like a great replacement. It's Microsoft (I've always loved Microsoft hardware), it's rechargeable (awesome!), and it looks like it has great ergonomics, perhaps even better than the "WIE".
In a few respects, it IS better than the "WIE". The mouse is incredibly responsive and accurate. The left and right mouse buttons have a nice, firm click, but are easy to press. The thumb buttons on the left (which I rarely use) are not in the way like they are with the "WIE", resulting in less accidental clicks. The recharging feature is very much appreciated (and I appreciate even more that the battery is replaceable). The scroll wheel feels very smooth and the left/right tilt functionality of the scroll wheel is far less stiff. The tilt feature however, is also something I rarely use, but maybe I'll start now that it's actually usable.
It's not all roses and strawberries though. There are plenty of reasons I still prefer the "WIE". I have a large hand and this mouse is too small. At least, it *feels* too small... It's ironic, but the footprint of this mouse is actually larger than my beloved "WIE" (which feels perfect in my hand). I think this might be related to the low profile, especially on the right side. On the right, there are contours which are obviously intended to cradle your ring finger and pinky. But, I find my ring finger crossing over into the pinky "slot" and my pinky rests on the table (in fact, the tip of my ring finger rests on the table too). Another problem with the low profile is that it makes it very difficult to pick up with one hand. I never noticed how often I pick up and reposition the mouse until I used this one. Now, I HAVE to notice it because it takes a bit of effort. There's simply no way to effectively grip it tight enough to pick it up without it "squirting" out of my hand. This is my #1 complaint and, prior to this mouse, I probably never would have thought of it at all. Less important, but worth mentioning is that the wheel, when used as a center button, is very stiff. It's much too hard to press IMO.
Despite having some great features, due to the problems I described above, I can't recommend this mouse. Rating:

Execellent Wireless Mouse
I have been using this wireless mouse for over a month now and I find it to be an excellent product. The design is excellent. I had been wearing a wrist brace every night but since using this mouse I do not have to wear the brace at all. The battery life is more than I expected. I'm on my computer most every day averaging 15 hours a day. The first battery recharge was after 18 days, now I just slide it onto the handy recharger at night and I'm good to go the next day. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. |
