Microsoft Optical Blue (K81-00004) Mouse

Pros: Amazing Price, Good Feel, Accurate
Cons: Only suitable for optical corded mouse applications

As my second trackball mouse began to die back several years ago, I decided it was time to take the optical leap. Being... frugal... I decided to see what the budget optical mice options were. I had heard good things about Logitech, but after visiting ...

Pros: Price, easy to use, no trackball to get dirty.
Cons: Nothing fancy either, just your basic mouse functions.

My mouse got sick apparently and day by day got harder and harder to use. I would push and push the mouse along its mouse pad in a futile effort to get my cursor to move to its desired location on the screen. I cleaned the track ball, and used a Q-Tip to ...

Pros: Good Price, Great Quality, Great Durability
Cons: Absolutely None

All I read about on Epinions is people complain about the product that they spent half their life savings on not working. I spent twenty bucks on this mouse and you will hear no complaining in this review. Although I use a laptop, I am a gamer (call me ...

Pros: Comfortable, good degree of control, perfect for the internet and office productivity programs
Cons: Not good for games or graphic design, scroll wheel becomes loose after overuse,

I've had my Microsoft Optical mouse since 2003. It was relatively inexpensive, I purchased it for 19.99 at the time. Three years later, It is still the main mouse I use to handle all of my computer functions. My main reason for purchasing this mouse was ...

Pros: BLUE!!! Works great, optical, scroll wheel, looks
Cons: loose scroll wheel

I absoultley love this mouse. I bought mine about a year ago and have had only 1 minor problem with it. It looks great and works excellent. It works very well. It seems to be pretty fast, and works excellent on all surfaces. I have used it on my desk, ...

Pros: Great mouse!
Cons: None

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 5150 and it being my first laptop ever I realized how annoying touchpads may get, so I went to my nearest COMP USA and purchased this mouse. The best part is the color of the mouse matches perfectly with the color of my ...

Pros: Inexpensive when on-sale or with rebate Buttons have nice feel Nice color
Cons: Stiff cord Maybe too small for large hands

I purchased this mouse because I wanted an optical mouse to replace my Logitech 3+ year old mechanic ...

Pros: Ergonomic design, simple, reliable, and attractive
Cons: Should have blue LEDs for this price (they are the standard red)

Ok, so why did I spend $30 on a mouse you ask. Is it really THAT good? I hate to admit it, but basically, I bought it because it was pretty. The microsoft blue mouse is a very basic optical wheel mouse with two standard buttons and a translucent blue ...

Pros: This is one of the most perfect mice around!
Cons: None that I can determine at this time.

All in all, just your basic mouse. It is a no thrills device. Standard two button mouse with a scroll. By clicking the scroll button, you can scroll up and down large files by moving your mouse up or down to get trough it quicker. USB compatibility. Easy installation. No ball to worry about getting stuck. No batteries to worry about having to replace them. Long cord. Fast response while playing hard core high graphics games. No need for software that is included. Plug and Play!

Pros: Optical, very customizable.
Cons: Not very robust.

This mouse has an optical bottom and a wheel. It is also very customizable : you can program all of its buttons and the wheel, the wheel steps, and so on. It's a great mouse, but...

Now, the reason why I wrote this review. I thought this mouse would be a good "back to basics" step from the Intellimouse Explorer. Specifically, I thought it would be more durable. But I was wrong. This mouse broke down in a matter of months.

Pros: Cheap, blue (if you like that), fits certain hands well
Cons: Scroll wheel lost sensitivity after a while and eventually broke

I first bought this mouse for my homebuilt system back in '03 or '04. It served me well until a couple of months ago when the scroll wheel abruptly stopped working. Took it back to staples for a return, and they were happy to accommodate me. The new mouse is working fine.

I guess if you like blue, this mouse is fine...I just bought it because it was cheap and I don't like logitech. I like the shape of it; it fits my hand well- I have smaller hands, for a guy anyway.

Along with normal use, I play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with it. Seems as easy as with any other mouse to pop a guy in the head with a scoped M1 Garand. I like it.

Pros: Stylish, blue, nice light, looks good on your desktop
Cons: Should have a finger grip on sides for better control

This mouse is in one word...HOT! The stylish blue color and nice LED is great. I bought this as a replacement for my SONY Vaio packaged mouse, and it has been working great for me. I play many games such as Counter-Strike which require a good mouse, with fast action, and good control of the mouse is needed. This mouse has it all, highly recommended by me. I am indeed very statisfied with my purchase. Also, I got this for $19.95 with rebate from Best Buy. If you are looking for a nice, stylish, and classy mouse, this should be your first choice.
