Microsoft Intelli Optical (D58-00026) Mouse

Pros: Easy to use, customizable,no cleaning,comfortable design,ambidextrous
Cons: none!

I am not new to the IntelliEye type mouse having owned the first model Microsoft made. It died (RIP) and was still under warranty so I called Microsoft to get a replacement. They didn't make that model anymore and offered to send me the IntelliEye...

Pros: Doesn't need cleaning, Moves like a dream has all the features you expect.
Cons: Occasinal glitches

The Microsoft optical mouse is what the PC market has been calling out for. Other systems have had similar mice that worked with some sort of optical positioning instead of a ball in the underside that moved little wheels that registered where the mouse...

Pros: Accurate, larger than normal is nice
Cons: Not sure how useful the extra buttons are

If you are sick and tired of trying to fill in that one pesky pixel on a graphic but can't get to it without zooming in to 1000% then this mouse is a must. If you are a fan of fast-action games such as Quake then this mouse is also for you due to it's...

Pros: Accurate, looks cool
Cons: Expensive

Microsoft took the idea of Sun's optical mouse and improved on it.

Sun's old mice used to require a pad in order to work. Microsoft added a camera that can be used on any surface. What's the result? The most accurate mouse ever made.

...

Pros: Works on any surface, more accurate, 2 extra buttons.
Cons: n/a.

I had a normal intellimouse. It was old so I got the optical. I was doubtful at first but I immediatly fell in love with it. I plugged it into my PS/2 mouse port. (Why waste a USB?). I restarted my computer (I forgot that those ports aren't plug and...

Pros: There are WAY too many pros to mention in this small of a space.
Cons: It feels kind of strange at first not having the ball rolling underneath the mouse.

Microsoft's IntelliMouse Optical must have just came out right before my standard mouse began to malfunction. I went to the store imagining the typical replacement roller-ball style mouse as my only option. I proceeded to go to the electronics...

Pros: great for anyone, even lefties
Cons: takes a bit of getting used to

The best thing about this mouse is the control you have with each of its buttons! If your lefthanded, you can use the software included with the mouse to alter which button does what. Personally I've gotten lazier and now use one of the side buttons as a...

Pros: smooth
Cons: takes some getting used to

one word: FANTASTIC!
the mouse is smooth as heck, has SO much less "friction" as there is no mouse pad and a rolling rubber ball... so it may feel a little strange at first to use as its so smooth, but once you get used to it, moving a...

Pros: Always moves accurately and smoothly; never needs cleaning
Cons: Expensive

Microsoft's Intellimouse Optical is a great mouse that makes conventional ones obsolete.

The technology behind this mouse is great. Instead of using a ball and rollers like most mice, the Intellimouse Optical uses a lense to "see" the surface...

Pros: Never skips, ergonomic, back/forward buttons, scroll button, works anywhere
Cons: None

I've had my Intellimouse for about 2 years now and it's still as reliable/accurate as it was the day I bought it. It was difficult paying $60 for a mouse mainly because it looked cool. This is one of the best $60 I have spent on my computer.

I...

Pros: fits hand well and is comfortable to operate
Cons: cursor won't follow the mouse

I bought the product because my ball had worn out on my old one. I figured this would be state of the art. It is not workable. The cursor is always behind the mouse, haltingly, and sometimes it won't eve move. it just won't follow the mouse 75% of the...

Pros: Never gets gummed up!, the Integration with Internet Explorer, & USB!
Cons: Cannot be used on a clear surface.

This is the absolute best mouse I have ever used. A lot of people buy a new mouse simply because it needs to be cleaned and probably didn't know how. This eliminates all of that with it's laser eye. I have had mine for about a year now and should it...

Pros: really nice for plane rides, looks good
Cons: horrible buttons on the side

I like this mouse the technology is awesome!, However I do have 1 complaint on it though, as with all Microsoft products, Microsoft tries to put way too many features in it, and with the3 2 butons on the side of the mouse that are used for forward and...

Pros: Easy to use software, USB connection, optical
Cons: A little Pricey

The microsoft intellimouse optical. A present from the heavens. No more cleaning a little ball and rollers. No more losing that crucial deathmatch battle because you mouse gets stuck. No more dragging your mouse to the top of the screen to hit that...

Pros: Nice 4 Button Design, No mouseball to clean
Cons: Hard to use if your used to a trackball

Very recently I decided to pick up a mouse for a new computer I am building and after having been accustomed to a trackball I knew that you had to clean them a lot to get them working properly. I have always used trackballs ever since I've used a...
