Basic Optical Mouse - Black. Comfortable, Right/Left Hand Use, Ergonomic Design, Wired USB Mouse, for PC/Laptop/Desktop

wireless mice are nice but often interfere with other devices on the same frequency, especially with side by side computers. Too many side button are often activated accidentally. the side buttons on this mouse are well out of the way of accidental thumb activation, and function quite reliably

I switched to this from a stock Dell mouse. I use Logitech at work. I had almost forgot how much I liked the plain two button and scroll wheel mouse from Microsoft. PROs: Comfortable in the hand, solid drivers (recognized easily by Windows and do not need to be reloaded), no batteries to replace like with wireless, easy gripping, and good granular controls for business, home, and light gaming use. Simple, direct, and dependable with a good price. I'm not big on the side and additional buttons with other models, which I accidentally click (frequently). The basic Logitech is not bad, but I rate the Microsoft over it because I find that I have better control/granularity with the wheel and click zones. Like my favorite shovel (on the farm), this mouse does the job, does it well, and it is not overly cute or complex. CONs: Not many cons when you consider price/performance. The cord could be a little longer. As noted by other reviewers, the left/right clicks are louder than expected. In terms of click volume, it is about the same as when I am speed typing on my mechanical keyboard. (If you think it will bother you, it probably will. If you think that you probably won't care, then you won't.) #

The previous mouse I was using on my Windows 7 Pro PC suffer the same fate as all the other cheap mices before it . That after thousands of left click the button has become too worn out to function properly. Those types rely on the flexibility of the plastic to allow enough bending to be depressed, causing a click. After looking at the available models on Amazon, I settled on the particular model under review here, PROs: Comfortable in the hand, solid drivers (recognized easily by Windows and do not need to be reloaded), no batteries to replace like with wireless, easy gripping, and good granular controls for business, home, and light gaming use. Simple, direct, and dependable with a good price. I'm not big on the side and additional buttons with other models, which I accidentally click (frequently). Like this mouse because it does the job, does it well, and it is not overly cute or complex. Not many cons when you consider price/performance.

This mouse shipped pretty well, came in a box and was intact when I got it. It's been here for a year, and working well. Even if it started failing now(If and ONLY if), it's well worth a year's worth of pretty heavy use. I like to make mouse movements 1-to-1, and I did just that very well. I'm not sure if it is literally one to one, but It's not overtly tilted one way or the other. I can't say how it was out of the package, but it never stops working for whatever technological reason, and I easily adjusted the sensitivity through microsoft hardware settings and such. As for playing games, I've never had a moment where the mouse was faulty, any mistake or death was because I screwed up. Also also, it has a mouse three. It's kind of weird, but I wouldn't change the rating over this: You click it to the right, but not the left. Honestly probably for the best, not making it too easy to hit it by mistake.

For the price, this is a perfect mouse. I would compare it to the Logitech M100/B100 in terms of feel, overall size, and weight. These no nonsense, plug and use mice are more reliable and more comfortable than wireless mice. When a mouse requires batteries, it tends to affect the wrists after long usage. Not this mouse. Light, comfortable for any size hand (maybe not really large). Not quite as comfortable as the Logitech M100 but it's right there. It looks better though. The one issue (not really an issue) is the cord thickness. It has a thick non-braided cord that may get in the way or drag a lot. However, it also may indicate longer usage. Overall, solid mouse. I'm a hug gamer with so mane mice. For long usage for non-gaming, the cheap reliable mice like this is what you're looking for.

Having used MS mice over the years, I wasn't sure how well this mouse work for me. I had to finally replace a MS Optical Mouse Blue that I had been using on a Win Vista system. (Driver 7.0 MS.) I noted this seemed the way to go. (I had replaced the same MS Optical Mouse Blue on my top Win 7 system with a MS Optical Mouse 3000 and was very happy with it even though the extra button sometimes got in the way.) Anyway, I really didn't know what to expect. I got it in and, after installing it. (This was easy. One word, this is a USB mouse and if you still have an older MB, like me, you will need an USB to PS2 adapter if you plan on using the PS2 mouse port as this mouse doesn't come with one like my old Optical Blue did.) At any rate, since the 7.0 MS mouse driver covers a number of mice it was easy to match this new mouse to the driver and changing the mouse support. (This mouse doesn't come with a driver disk either BTW.) After getting the installation items out of the way, I checked it out. This mouse sits a bit higher off the mouse pad than the old Optical Blue but not so much that you would noticed it. It's smaller, but still fits the hand very well. I buttons feels good to the touch and responsive when clicked and don't feel "iffy" in any way. I noted this mouse seem more responsive to movement across the screen than my older mouse and that's more than like due to the faster response rate over my old one. It has a smaller foot print on the mouse pad and that's really nice if you have limited space available like I do. Overall, I couldn't any thing to fault this mouse on, other than the lack of an adapter and driver disk and both of these were minor things. A very good mouse for the price!

A while back i bought a "Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless - Wireless Rechargeable Gaming Mouse". That thing turned out to be a real pain. I purchased this very [Basic Microsoft Mouse] because I've never had an issue with one. It works like it's supposed to without trying to be something unnecessary. It moved the cursor around in an expected manner, and clicks things exactly as expected too. No frills like stupid lights that need to be turned off in some convoluted software it's just a mouse and that's all I needed. (Does ok in 'shoot 'em up 'games as well) the only nit-picky thing i can come up with it that it feels very light, which i fixed by adding a 3oz fishing weight to the inside. i have no reason to expect it to fail in the next 3 or so years. unlike that $50 piece of junk that has only lasted since june of 2019.

Considering the price these little guys are terrific. I've had several for years with no problems at all. They've been used by all members of my family, been kicked around, and used for work and gaming. I've lost them, but never had one break down. Personally i use a fingertip grip and prefer very light mice, so these cheap mice are a perfect fit. I also have a Razer Viper Mini, and honestly this MS mouse seems more sturdy, has quieter buttons and smoother skates. If I used a palm grip I'd probably find this mouse much too small.

Maravilhoso, super recomendo... anatômico, leve e rápido.

Nice mouse from microsoft. Best thing is that the mouse is bigger in size, and comfortable to hold.

para mi, el mejor modelo de mouse que existe de microsoft, he comprado 3 de ellos y todos me siguen funcionando.

Works great, husband likes it. I bought it as it was recommended online as lower EMF. I haven't measured a lot of optical computer mice for EMFs, but if you are sensitive to EMFs all I can say is this one is not as nearly as bad as others I have encountered.

For all those who are electrosensitive, this is the mouse to get. I did a bit of online research and what I read is true. This mouse has lower emissions than most. It certainly has lower emissions than the mouse I was using. If you're not electrosensitive, that won't matter, but if you are, it could be a life-saver for you.
