Microsoft Intelli Optical (D58-00026) Mouse

Pros: Great mouse with good accuracy, no cleaning required, and an overall sleek look.
Cons: Um..... not many.

That's right, you dont have to clean it. Maybe you've never thought about cleaning a mouse before, but believe me, after a few months of use, regular mice become clogged up without cleaning. This was a big problem for me, mainly because my screen's...

Pros: A pleasure to use and has a cool red glow
Cons: none

My old mouse was making me crazy. About a month ago, I had finally had enough. I had cleaned the mouse, jiggled and otherwise tried to resuscitate my old tired mouse to no avail and realized that it was time for us to go our separate ways.

I...

Pros: lighter, better tracking, no mouse pad needed
Cons: none

Man o man have I been waiting for optical to come back...yes come back. I used to use a mouse systems optical back in the 80's. Back then, optical mice used a metallic meshed mousepad as a feedback mechanism, but now, its all inside. This mouse is...

Pros: ease of use and precision
Cons: none

In short, i love this mouse. easy to install and very precise. I never have to clean it either. Optical is definitely the way to go!

one thing I especially like about this mouse is the thumb and pinky buttons, which I use as my "back" and...

Pros: Smoothness, Wheel and Side Buttons, NEVER HAVE TO CLEAN
Cons: None

This mouse is the best one I have owned so far. I got so sick and tired of having to take apart the old mice and rigorously clean them all the time. This mouse is pretty much trouble-free in my opinion. The optical laser that acts as the the mouse's...

Pros: Either USB or PS/2. No cleaning. Extra buttons. Fun light :).
Cons: Price. I can't get extra buttons working, please help. May jump if moved too fast.

I recently received my IntelliMouse Optical as a birthday present, after going through two other mice in three months. The mice would constantly skip and get stuck. I use my mouse constantly, usually for browsing the net or for playing games. It would...

Pros: Ease of use, small size
Cons: Side buttons can be annoying

Looking at other reviews on this site for the Microsoft Optical IntelliMouse, it's hard to come up with anything original to say. The price was right, it came with a choice of connecting to the USB port, or using the included PS/2 adapter to connect to...

Pros: Excellent tracking, quiet buttons, cool red LED.
Cons: Software problems, power management issues.

I have been using a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop for quite some time now, and I decided to get a mouse for it. After some searching at Office Max, I found the Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. It looked good, and the price was right: only $30. I grabbed it...

Pros: Lots of buttons, application configurable
Cons: not enough buttons

This mouse has a good feel; its optical, precise, it has numerous buttons, (all mice should have as many thumb buttons as possible)
But most important, the software will let you configure what the buttons do FOR ANY APPLICATION! That means wherever...

Pros: Never have to be cleaned, programable buttons
Cons: a little expensive for a mouse

I really love this mouse. It is ten times better than my old one. It fits very nicely in the palm of your hand, and is symmetrical so if fits both righties and lefties. With the new optical laser instead of the traditional ball, i don't even need a...

Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: lose some features when you connect to serial port

I bought the Microsoft Optical Intellimouse as a gift for someone, and I've ended up using it more than they do! I often work on a laptop perched on the sofa, and there's nowhere practical to place a conventional mouse and mousepad. Also, I really,...

Pros: Comfortable, Accurate, Cool Light, Microsoft Warranty
Cons: Pricey, only comes in white

I have hated mouse balls, with a fury I tell you! I use my comp a lot and hated having to clean the inside of my mouse out every week. Pulling out tweezers and pulling dust and grime out of my mouse always upset me. So when I heard about Optical mice and...

Pros: No dirty trackball to clean, laser accuracy, ample buttons, no hand cramps, USB
Cons: USB connection doesn't handle lots of disconnects/reconnects well

This mouse was a very worthwhile purchase. Gone were the days of cleaning those little rods inside regular mice with my swiss army knife. I was VERY pleased with the accuracy of the mouse and the way you didn't need a mousepad and it works on nearly all...

Pros: It just Works, No cleaning of the ball!
Cons: None

I have been using computers for well over 9 years now, and I used just about every type of mouse that is out there, from el'cheapo's all the way to the higher end models.

This is by far my favorite mouse of the bunch, it is very responsive,...

Pros: No mouse ball, no parts to clean, no mouse pad needed, multiple buttons.
Cons: -none-

I bought a laptop last year, and I don't like built in pointing devices (ex: pointing stick, touch pad). I also hate having to use a mouse pad and clean my mouse, so I looked at getting an optical mouse. At the time, Microsoft was the only brand...
