The mouse that came with my PC wasn't working properly - sometimes the ball seemed to be sticking although it was clean. I decided to go for an optical mouse and chose the Microsoft, mainly on appearance and the fact that it didn't do anything embarrassing like glow in the dark as some do. It's working fine and didn't require any setting up on my XP computer. I plugged in the USB connector and within a second it detected it and a second later a message told me it was ready for use, no problem at all. Although the previous review says it is small, it is exactly the same size as the mouse that I have replaced, which was the same as the ones used in my workplace, standard size I would say. The dimensions on the Amazon website are obviously wrong - it isn't 1cm x 1cm x 1cm. It is approx 12.5cm long x 6.5cm wide x 3.5cm high. If you want a straightforward optical mouse by a well known manufacturer I can recommend this product.

I've been using this model of mouse for several years now - I'm on my second of these mice and I thought I'd write a review about it whilst I purchased a different one.
Basically the mouse is comfortable to use and ergonomically very good. The weight is fine and it's good that it's an ambidextrous design - you can use it either left or right handed. The response from the scroll wheel is good with a slight bumpy feeling as you scroll. The build quality is good but could seem a bit plasticky depending on your tastes. It works well on a number of surfaces ranging from the arm of the sofa to a desk. This is a 3 button mouse so pretty basic usage ie no extra buttons to configure for browsing back and forth, open link in new browser window, etc.
I have numerous mice including MS & Logitech cordless mice (both which cost a small fortune in batteries if used a lot) and a 101429: Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse USB (931633-0120) - excellent for a PC connected to a TV (rechargable via cradle). This is the one I choose to use day-in, day-out though for general use. If your a serious gamer, consider an alternative such as Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 which has a greater DPI accuracy.
The only gripe I have is that the left button has gone faulty - this happened to my last one as well (hence me buying a second), but I wouldn't use this to judge the build quality of the mouse as I have used it 8+ hours a day for over 18 months and it's been bashed around when chucked in my laptop bag. The USB connector must be good quality as I unplug it regularly from my docking station into my laptop and vice versa.
At the end of the day a mouse is all about personal preference. Try to pick one that suits you and feels comfortable. Test some out first if possible (go down the local electronics shop, try the mice on the store demo PCs, then come back and order it cheaper on amazon!) If you purchase any Microsoft mouse, install the Intellipoint software from the included CD and change the pointer movement speed and button click speed settings to suit your use.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I had a problem with windows 7 Pro 64, the mouse would disconnect and freeze, I tried drivers etc to no avail. So I thought get a MS mouse and tadah, it works, no more freezing or drop outs. The mouse is pretty plain and feels quite cheap although it certainly wasn't cheap but, it works.

Decent mouse let down by poor scroll wheel.
This is a decent enough mouse, but that poor quality of the scroll wheel/middle click lets it down. I use the middle click often and it causes the mouse to scroll when you only... Read more

I am using a desk top pc, and was using a Logitech cordless mouse. But because it was battery hungry, changed to this one. It works very well, its Microsoft,thats it.

reliable mouse
Bought this to replace cheaper one which stopped working after a day. This one is reliable and is not as cheap as what i paid for previously. So would recommend!
