Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse - Black. Comfortable, Right/Left Hand Use, Ergonomic Design, Wired USB Mouse, for PC/Laptop/Desktop

Having used MS mice over the years, I wasn't sure how well this mouse work for me. I had to finally replace a MS Optical Mouse Blue that I had been using on a Win Vista system. (Driver 7.0 MS.) I noted this seemed the way to go. (I had replaced the same MS Optical Mouse Blue on my top Win 7 system with a MS Optical Mouse 3000 and was very happy with it even though the extra button sometimes got in the way.) Anyway, I really didn't know what to expect. I got it in and, after installing it. (This was easy. One word, this is a USB mouse and if you still have an older MB, like me, you will need an

I switched to this from a stock Dell mouse. I use Logitech at work. I had almost forgot how much I liked the plain two button and scroll wheel mouse from Microsoft.PROs: Comfortable in the hand, solid drivers (recognized easily by Windows and do not need to be reloaded), no batteries to replace like with wireless, easy gripping, and good granular controls for business, home, and light gaming use. Simple, direct, and dependable with a good price. I'm not big on the side and additional buttons with other models, which I accidentally click (frequently).The basic Logitech is not bad, but I rate th

The previous mouse I was using on my Windows 7 Pro PC suffer the same fate as all the other cheap mices before it . That after thousands of left click the button has become too worn out to function properly. Those types rely on the flexibility of the plastic to allow enough bending to be depressed, causing a click. After looking at the available models on Amazon, I settled on the particular model under review here, PROs: Comfortable in the hand, solid drivers (recognized easily by Windows and do not need to be reloaded), no batteries to replace like with wireless, easy gripping, and good granu

Nice mouse. A little small for my hand. Worked as a basic wired mouse.

Not sure why but I go thru mice in a hurry, maybe the game I play? I've had much more expensive gaming mice that only lasted about 3 months. I've had less expensive mice that didn't last a month. Overall, these seem to be the best mice for my situation. They're a decent price, very basic, reasonably comfy, responsive, and they hold up better than any others I've tried.

For the price, this is a perfect mouse. I would compare it to the Logitech M100/B100 in terms of feel, overall size, and weight. These no nonsense, plug and use mice are more reliable and more comfortable than wireless mice. When a mouse requires batteries, it tends to affect the wrists after long usage. Not this mouse. Light, comfortable for any size hand (maybe not really large). Not quite as comfortable as the Logitech M100 but it's right there. It looks better though. The one issue (not really an issue) is the cord thickness. It has a thick non-braided cord that may get in the way or drag

wireless mice are nice but often interfere with other devices on the same frequency, especially with side by side computers. Too many side button are often activated accidentally. the side buttons on this mouse are well out of the way of accidental thumb activation, and function quite reliably

Considering the price these little guys are terrific. I've had several for years with no problems at all. They've been used by all members of my family, been kicked around, and used for work and gaming. I've lost them, but never had one break down.Personally i use a fingertip grip and prefer very light mice, so these cheap mice are a perfect fit. I also have a Razer Viper Mini, and honestly this MS mouse seems more sturdy, has quieter buttons and smoother skates. If I used a palm grip I'd probably find this mouse much too small.
