clifswin's Full Review: Memorex ScrollPro Optical (32022376) Mouse
After two months of putting up with a Microsoft optical mouse with a short in the cord, I finally went out to my local computer discount place to shop for a replacement. After looking around, I decided what I wanted: the Microsoft wireless optical mouse & keyboard combination.

Mine didn't come with the fancy case others seem to be getting, but just the same I'm already in love with this thing.
Maybe I won't get that other gadget after all.

The wheel is now almost eerily smooth. It still works fine, but with a little less confidence than it did initially. This is still the best $10 mouse I've ever seen.
The Memorex Optical ScrollPro Mouse is a perfect way to replace basic mice and upgrade to better technology. The scroll wheel makes web surfing and pr...More at eBay
