Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The hassle-free mouse with an eye for precision.
Do you have an uncooperative mouse? Does it skip and jam and cause frustration? Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical is the solution. We’ve replaced that old-fashioned mouse ball with an IntelliEyeTM optical sensor that tracks movement 1,500 times per second – providing smooth and precise motion. No mouse ball means no moving parts to clean or wear down. And, the optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.

Benefits

  • Easy Internet navigation - Browse the Web without using toolbars or the keyboard. Simply use either side button to go forward or backward on the Internet. Or, you can program the buttons to execute routine actions in many of your favorite programs.
  • Feels and moves great in any hand - Whether you are left-or right-handed, or have a large or small hand, the design of IntelliMouse Optical feels comfortable. The shape supports your hand and encourages natural posture.
  • No mouse ball. No mouse pad - IntelliMouse Optical works on hundreds of work surfaces* – it’ll even work on your jeans!

    Standard Features
    IntelliEye optical technology- The precise sensor detects motion on hundreds of surfaces, including wood, plastic, or even your pants leg. IntelliMouse wheel- Scroll directly from your mouse without having to use scrollbars. Zoom without needing to use menus or toolbars.

  • Side-to-side scrolling – now you can scroll horizontally as well as vertically.
  • Smooth scrolling – feel the unique wheel glide smoothly as you scroll through documents and web pages.
  • Enhanced Accelerated scrolling – Leap even farther and faster through your documents
  • Application switching – easily move between open windows by pushing down on the scroll wheel.

    Design- Whether you are left-or right-handed, or have a large or small hand, the design supports your hand and encourages natural posture. Five-year warranty- Limited five-year warranty included. Ambidextrous Design- Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and easy to use in either left or right hand.

    Compatibility- Both USB and PS/2 compatible. Both PC and Macintosh compatible.

    *The IntelliEye sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail (like glass) or surfaces where it will see its reflection (like mirrors or glossy surfaces). The sensor may also have difficulty tracking on highly repetitive patterns (like some printed photographs from magazines or newspapers).

    3.0 out of 5 stars Wireless Mouse - Wired Mouse Sized Receiver, 2 Nov 2003
    This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue Moon (Accessory)
    Wanting to avoid the wired clutter on my desktop, I upgraded to a Wireless LAN and also bought this mouse after reading the product specs.

    There are two significant problems when using with a laptop (mine is a Compaq Evo N1050v running WXP-Pro with all the latest patches).

    a) The wireless transmitter is the size of a regular mouse and comes with a fairly long cable. You end up carrying the equivalent of a regular wired mouse and the wireless one!
    b) The new features like scrolling sideways and accelerated scrolling do not work if your notebook has a Synaptics touchpad. I tried uninstalling the Syn drivers, disabling it in the BIOS, connecting over the USB / PS2 ports - everything short of flattening the box and reinstalling XP. No progress.

    I subsequently installed the mouse on my desktop. It works fine and I was up and running in a few minutes. The sideways scrolling and accelerated scrolling are divine, especially if you work on multi-column spreadsheets or long reports. Alt-tabbing with the wheel-click makes it possible to work on multiple spreadsheets with one hand!! I was a bit apprehensive about the "click-less scroll wheel", but I now find the clicking scroll wheel of earlier mice slows me down.

    This mouse feels absolutely great to hold and wish I could get it working on my laptop...

    Feature wise, this deserves a rating of 5. But because Microsoft do not publish anywhere the size of the wireless transmitter, and it couldn't work with Synaptics drivers on the same machine, I have reduced it to 3. This information was not available in the product literature that I picked off various websites...

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not perfect, 24 May 2004
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue Moon (Accessory)
    It performs exactly as specified and installation is easy, but there are a couple of things that would make me pick something else if I was choosing again. 1 - The weight of the batteries upsets the balance of the mouse. When you pick it up to reposition it on the mouse mat it tips backwards. I find this more annoying than a wire ever was, so I would not buy a wireless mouse next time. 2 - The clickless scroll wheel is great when scrolling through documents, but when using it to zoom in and out in graphics packages you loose the control to zoom by one step. I would return to a wheel with click stops on it next time.
    Other than these points it works well. Movement is smooth and precise and it has never lost contact with the receiver. I am left handed and it is good to have a mouse that all members of the family can use with equal comfort.
