Microsoft M03-00090 Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 High Definition with Tilt Wheel Platinum Mac/Win PS2/USB English Reviews
The buttons are highly configurable with the software, the scroll is very easy to use, and all of the buttons are very friendly to those of us who have problems with our hands. If you have Parkinson's disease or some sort of tremor, this is the mouse for you. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
There are no "detents" as you scroll it just smoothly rotates. This is a decent cordless mouse that is chock full of last year's technology. - Extra buttons: There are 2 extra buttons on this mouse that are activated by your thumb. The only other cordless mouse I know of that does this is Apple's Wireless Mighty Mouse. - USB dongle: This mouse must have the largest USB dongle of any cordless mouse. It took me about a day to get used to it, but now I actually prefer the smooth scrolling.
- 1-battery mode: You can choose to put just 1 AA battery into the mouse and it will still work. - Software: The latest drivers from Microsoft work just fine with the latest version of Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6. It's so big, it looks like a corded mouse. It is also on the largish side. - Tracking: it uses optical tracking instead of the new-fangled laser tracking that is all the rage nowadays. I have relatively small hands, and I usually prefer smaller mice, but the size and shape of this mouse actually work pretty well for me. - Scroll wheel: As many reviewers have mentioned before, the scroll wheel on this mouse is squishy/smooth.
Supposedly, using your arm and shoulder for mouse movements is better for you ergonomically. This is one of my favorite features of the mouse because it allows me to make the mouse lighter. I picked one up from the clearance bin of a local computer store. The scroll wheel also supports tilting to the left and right for horizontal scrolling, which is also nice. - Ergonomics: This mouse is designed for righties. Sorry lefties. This makes this mouse unsuitable for travel.
The bigger one (which is programmed to go back in your browser) is convenient to access, but the smaller one takes a little bit of a stretch to click. It is definitely designed for "arm mousers" as opposed to "finger mousers". The laser mice work on a greater variety of surfaces, but this is more important for a travel mouse. I own several laser mice by Logitech and, honestly, I can't really notice much of a difference between optical and laser. There is something relaxing about it. Compared to the current generation of USB dongles that practically disappear into the USB port, the size of the USB dongle on this mouse is downright comical. This mouse is definitely NOT for travel (more on that later).
I am a huge advocate of splurging on a better quality product than buying something cheap and it breaking later.or finding out it sucks. The fingerprint reader is annoying because I don't use it, but that's not Microsoft's fault. I bought it before I went to college 4 years ago and still cannot find a better mouse for me. This mouse is awesome. So if you want fingerprint reading, it works perfectly and is a good addition. My hands are on the bigger side, and this does the trick. It's very comfortable. It's a cool feature.
a nice mouse, but the scroll wheel is a bit sluggish and "squishy" for my taste.
I was skeptical b/c of the Microsoft brand b/c Microsoft is a software company and this is hardware. It's a wireless mouse. What can I say, except that it's wireless and it works and has a nice ergonomic design. I'm not curious enough to learn all the button, but the right, left and scroll wheel are very helpful.
