Microsoft IntelliEye (673-00253) Mouse

Pros: Smooth, fast, and accurate movement
Cons: Still more expensive than a ball mouse

Given that I am usually behind the times when it comes to technological advances, it gives me great pleasure to write a review of a device that sounds the death toll for the millions of computer mice that operate by rolling a rubber ball over a mouse...

Pros: No more cleaning a "track ball"!
Cons: none at all

I asked for this mouse for Christmas because I had one of those old ones that have the ball underneath. Having 3 cats in the house, the ball kept getting clogged up with stuff. I ended up cleaning the underside out every few days, and then it still...

Pros: NO BALL!!!
Cons: None at this time...

Stick and move, stick and move, stick and move; this action describes not the butterfly like movements of a great boxer, but the movement of my aging ball mouse across my computer screen. I undertook all of the regular remedies for this type of bad...

Pros: It's technical -- but that glowing red light isn't a laser, so feel free to handle it.
Cons: I guess it's not great for graphic intense games -- but that's second-hand info

Do you know what a serial port is? When someone says UPS do you think -- guys in brown uniforms? If you think Nuts and Bolts is what is at the bottom of your family's tool box, then this review should be your speed.

I received the IntelliEye...

Pros: Intellieye
Cons: None

Out with the old and in with the new. I couldn't have said it better myself. The Microsoft intellieye mouse is definitely the best mouse I have ever encountered. We have had many different mice in our time, and we always thought microsoft had the best...

Pros: lightweight, scroll wheel
Cons: none whatsoever

I agree with whoever wrote saying that once you've used a mouse with a scroll wheel you will never want to go back. I have never been more annoyed than when using a mouse w/o a scroll wheel, or on a computer that the scroll wheel doesn't work on.

Pros: No MOUSE BALL, great features, good value
Cons: No Screen Wrap feature

We go through mice at a rate comparable to some underachieving cats, so it was no surprise that my mouse needed to be replaced. This was no sudden death, but rather one that long gave signs of its coming. The left button sometimes ignored the commands...

Pros: Lights up desk with neat red glow
Cons: Sloppy USB to PS/2 adaptor

In reviews of products which use the front-panel 5.25-inch drive bay to hold audio plugs, I've seen it said that this is a drawback since it will create a tangle of wires hanging out the front of your computer. Well, I like tangled wires. That's right,...

Pros: great precision, cost effective
Cons: none

I remember the outrageous price that was first attached to Microsoft's Intelimouse and I am so happy to see that that is not the case with their new and improved Intellieye version. The mouse will make all of the difference in anyone's daily activities...

Pros: Don't have to clean it, a good precise mouse
Cons: Slight Incompatibilities with some laptop pointing devices, overly-hyped

Despite Microsoft's mantra of "o look something cool, exciting, and new in the mouse world" attitude toward this product, optical mice have been around for quite a while, specifically for old UNIX machines such as the Sun Sparc. The idea behind...

Pros: no ball
Cons: only 3 buttons

The Microsoft Intellimouse with IntelliEye is one of the best mice I have used. Tired of having the small imperfection glitches of a ball mouse, I decided to try out this mouse.

No cleaning
Since this mouse has no balls, or...

Pros: no clogging mouse ball
Cons: Fragile, wires may break and may double click

I purchased one of these new IntelliEye white mice when I first seen them in the local computer store. I liked the idea of a non mechanical mouse that wouldn't require cleaning repeatedly, and after I bought and installed the IntelliEye, it functioned as...

Pros: No unreliable roller ball to get in the way.
Cons: Does require occasional cleaning.

After months of slamming my old mouse on my desk to get the roller ball unstuck, I finally broke down and bought myself a new mouse. Being very frugal and yet not wanting to walk away with something cheap, I bought the Microsoft IntelliMouse with...

Pros: No ball cleaning needed, easy to install especially with USB, more precision mouse work.
Cons: Pads get dirty sometimes, hates white surfaces, can't stand quick motion.

Like the title says, Microsoft has actually produced a product that works as intended. Unlike Windows or their other software which are plagued by bugs even years after its release, this thing runs like a dream.

Good: First, the mouse...

Pros: Reliable, ergonomic (for right-handers)
Cons: Left handers won't want it.

I have two teenage kids and the last thing they want to do is clean the grunge out of their computer mice. Being teenagers, there is no shortage of grunge - food at the computer desk, eraser crumbs, you name it. Every month or so the mice would stop...
