Microsoft Intelli Explorer (B75-00001) Mouse

Pros: Glides along, Click lock, No ball to clean.
Cons: The button on the side could be lower down.

I get up at 3AM for a glass of water and there it is calling to me. The little red light sits atop my desk and beckons. Don't go back to sleep play with me there are things to be done and places to go.

This little mouse is a wonder and I...

Pros: Looks and feels cool, doesn't get dirty, extra buttons
Cons: Ergonomically correct for righties only, on the expensive side

This mouse is, quite simply, the best mouse I've ever had the pleasure of using. I've gone through a lot of mice in my time, but this is, bar none, the best.

First of all, this mouse just feels great in your hand (assuming you're...

Pros: optical sensor, custom buttons, look and feel
Cons: takes a little time to get used to, USB may need a little tweaking, browser functions don't seem to work in Netscape

The Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer was one of my first entirely Epinions-based purchases. I had never heard of this particular mouse until I read a review found in the “just in” section. Hopefully, this review will entice you to make the same decision...

Pros: Easy to install and use, superb features, comfortable (if large) fit.
Cons: Occasionally, the optical sensor misreads fast movements.

...they just lose their balls. Seriously, though, I had no idea what I was in for when I purchased the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. I knew it had this fancy blinking light on the box, and that it used an optical sensor instead of a ball. But...

Pros: no moving parts to clean
Cons: cost, works better on mouse pad

I purchased the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer yesterday on a whim. We really didn't need a new mouse, but I thought that if you don't have to use a mouse pad it would save us a little room on our desk. We got the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer home...

Pros: love the scrollwheel, more comfortable shape
Cons: none

After having our original mouse for nearly four years, it was about time to get another one. It had actually outstayed it's welcome in our house and as soon as we got our new one it was thrown in the trash......way to the bottom.

My husband...

Pros: Silky smooth feel. Never needs cleaning. Programmable buttons.
Cons: A little expensive. People with small hands may not be comfortable with it.

Most people consider the mouse and keyboard to be throw-in items on a computer system. Generally, little time is spent considering the impact of the basic input devices to the computer. While the standard ergonomic style mouse cloned from the original...

Pros: Sights
Cons: Not very enjoyable to use

I've been using this silver gray mouse from Microsoft for about 3 months and here's my write up.

Pros - Here's what I like about this product

This mouse looks cool because of the metallic color and the red light at the back....

Pros: Excellent Mouse, no cleaning required.
Cons: Expensive, Cosmetic changes

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer is a unique mouse. This may be the last mouse you may have to buy. This mouse doesn't have a ball and therefore does not require periodic cleaning. It works on most surfaces surface and no mouse pad is needed. The mouse...

Pros: No ball! No cleaning!
Cons: Feels fragile.

Well, normally I'm against Microsoft and all that they stand for, but since they were the first people to come up with a reliable ball-less mouse, I have to give them credit.

When I frst heard about it, I was like, "Yeah, right...that's...

Pros: Optical reader, customizable
Cons: Not for lefties

This mouse also includes several very useful buttons along the left side where the thumb rests. If you're a lefty I would not recommend this mouse, as these buttons would be useless to you. These buttons default to the forward and back buttons on your...

Pros: Everything is very smooth... from the feel to movement
Cons: Microsoft = pricey

Okay, I admit it... the only reason I have this mouse is because I 'borrowed' it from my friend to see if it worked in my computer. She had been having problems on her computer where it would not start and with this mouse plugged in and I wanted to...

Pros: Superior tracking and feel. Excellent software for Macintosh OSX
Cons: Wheel feels a bit clunky and loud. Color's look like cheap PC colors.

Although I’m reading the book again, I felt the title was rather appropriate! I broke down and bought the MS IntelliMouse Explorer. It has 5 buttons, a scroll wheel and software that works flawlessly with Mac OSX. - One of the only customizable mice...

Pros: Quick, easy to install, precise, a joy to use
Cons: Software as opposed to drivers, some of the software is pretty needless

I received this mouse as a gift, thought it looked pretty weird, and didn't install it for several weeks. Was I an idiot! My old mouse began suffering from "ball-itis," you know, it needed to be cleaned, slowed way down, was generally a pain to...

Pros: Excellent ergonomic shape, very stylish, five function buttons plus a wheel, outstanding optical tracking system.
Cons: Could have used a little more common sense and less cutsiness (button effort is maddeningly low and placement could have been much better), concerns about LED safety around small children, configuration software not up to Logitech standards

This is part two in my search for the perfect mouse, or, is Brian an anal-retentive cretin who will never be satisfied?

Long-time readers will remember that I thought the search for the perfect mouse ended when I bought a Logitech Cordless...
