The Microsoft Intelli Optical 1.1 Mouse is one of the best selling mice and there are good reasons for this popularity. It can be used on a PC or a Mac and is for either left-handed or right-handed users. It is a wired mouse and it has cable ...

Pros: Low Price, Compatability, Ease of Use, and Smooth Glide
Cons: Lazer glitches a little, outside gets dirty fast, and scroll sometimes glitches

I used to use those ball point mice, and they were a real hasle. You had to clean them, take extra care of the ball, and the left and right clickers went out after a wile. This mouse is lazer guided, and also has two clickers on the left and right side ...

Pros: Optical, no dirt jamming
Cons: Poor design, side buttons to easy to hit accidentally.

I just came here to write this because I am so upset with this mouse. The side forward/back buttons are so easy to accidentally hit I am constantly losing important information. I have lost several emails I was in the midst of writing online. I have lost bids on last minute Ebay bidding. And I rarely remember to use the buttons even when they are needed because I am so use to point and click. One nice thing is with an optical mouse you don't have the annoyance of the roller getting dirty and jamming up. I would not recommend this mouse unless you are an extremely graceful person who knows exactly where he is in space; never knocks over glasses or the salt and pepper at the dinner table, never runs into the corner of things, etc.
