Plug the Wheel Mouse into a serial or PS/2 port, and it's ready to use right out of the box as a comfortable, two-button mouse. Then, to take advantage of the scroll wheel that's between the left and right buttons, install the included IntelliPoint software (a simple process that takes just a couple of minutes). Now simply roll the wheel forward or backward with your index finger to scroll through Web pages or documents in Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT applications. Or, hold down the Ctrl key while scrolling through Office 97 documents to zoom in and examine details.
The IntelliPoint software also lets you customise the performance of your mouse and the appearance of pointing icons on the screen. SmartSpeed, for example, lets you set the pointer so that it slows down over icons and buttons, making point-and-click operations easier than ever. SnapTo automatically moves your pointer to a default button when you open a dialogue box. And an odometer keeps track of the total distance you've dragged your mouse--in feet and miles.
And when you're ready for something completely different, you can change the appearance of your pointer to a seashell, a corn cob, or our favourite--a tap-dancing hoofer in tails and a top hat. Technology never stands still!
Pros:
- Simple to use, scroll wheel simplifies navigation.
- Great software, adjustable for left or right-handed use
Cons:
- Provides less hand support than Microsoft IntelliMouse Pro
