Product Description

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical - I hate cleaning. Just ask my wife and you'll know I'm not lying. So you can understand what an accute lack of joy I used to experience using a pair of tweezers to pull out black gunk from my mouse. I said "used to" because I now have the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical! With optical technology, a little camera tracks your movements with a much higher precision - and no ball means no black gunk too!

Amazon.com Product Description

Microsoft has replaced the old-fashioned mouse ball with the Wheel Mouse Optical, featuring an IntelliEye optical sensor to provide smooth and precise motion. Without a mouse ball, there are no moving parts to clean or wear down. The IntelliEye optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.

The Wheel Mouse Optical comes with a scroll wheel for scrolling and zooming. Move through documents by simply rolling the wheel forward or backward instead of clicking on a scroll bar. Use the wheel to see either close-up or big-picture views without having to use menus or toolbars (in compatible applications). The mouse also features an ambidextrous design for comfort. Whether you are left-handed or right-handed, have a large or small hand, the design of the Wheel Mouse Optical feels comfortable.

The Wheel Mouse Optical's IntelliEye optical sensor scans the desktop 6,000 times per second, delivering smooth, precise motion on virtually any surface, even through dirt, dust, and fingerprints. The IntelliEye sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail (e.g., glass) or surfaces where it will see its reflection (for example, mirrors or glossy surfaces). The sensor may also have difficulty tracking on highly repetitive patterns (for example, some printed photographs from magazines or newspapers).

Microsoft offers a three-year warranty on the Wheel Mouse Optical.

Optical wheel stopped working after 6 months.......2007-04-03

The mouse worked perfectly up until today when the scroll wheel stopped responding. Still works when you press the wheel but no longer works "as a wheel". The rest of the mouse still works including that pointless rear facing LED which does nothing at all

Hmm Microsoft ... extra parts that do nothing at all ... Hmm ?

An excellent, no frills mouse! Works great on almost any surface.

I bought this mouse due to the rave reviews here at Amazon. Prior to this I was using the smaller brother to this mouse, the basic optical mouse. However, the basic optical mouse has major problems. You have random skipping when you don't even move the mouse and it was just a PITA. I finally decided to invest in three of these. I plan to invest in three more. This mouse works without any drivers. I use these mice on laptops since I dislike using the actual track pad. I haven't had any issue so far. You won't be sorry by investing in this mouse. Stay away from it's smaller brother, the basic optical mouse.

I've had a lot of problems with wireless down thru the years. No problems here so far.............

I bought this product a month ago but now the left mouse button is not working. I felt great initially while using the product but one of the buttons suddenly stopped working.
