Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical 1.0 - Black

Pros: Works well, inexpensive, rugged.

Cons: They're not free!

Overall Review: I've been using these for years, and really like them for systems I build. The three I just received form Newegg DID come with the USB/PS2 adapter.

Pros: Fits my smallish hand well. Tactile feedback from wheel. Weight seems about right. Moves across desktop OK, doesn't need a mousepad.

Cons: Doesn't come with the PS/2 adapter or CD. You just get the bare mouse with a USB connector.

Overall Review: Luckily, I had an adapter already. No problems so far.

Pros: Feels like the traditional old Microsoft Intellimouse Optical.

Cons: Mouse now phantom scrolls.

Overall Review: My older Microsoft Intellimouse Opticals worked for probably ten years before finally succumbing to double-clicks or no-clicks so I bought this to replace them. However, after not quite a year, it phantom scrolls or zooms out on maps which is getting quite annoying. Technically, MS doesn't make this mouse anymore, but the Chinese companies have apparently copied it. It feels the same, and the buttons still click firmly and decisively, but the phantom scrolls are becoming quite annoying. I just broke down and ordered a new MS mouse, the Microsoft 4YH-00005 Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 800 dpi Mouse, for less than ten bucks. I hope it is good enough to match these old Intellimouses.

Pros: Just works. Old one lasted 15 years

Cons: None

Pros: Comfy hand fit, nice button/wheel layout, simple.

Cons: Left mouse button broke after just one week of regular use.

Pros: If you know your mice, you know what you want. This appears to be OEM as my last one.

Cons: Wish there was a wireless version.

Overall Review: First mouse came with a wonky scroll wheel. Seller replaced without complaint and with all due haste.

Pros: Appears to be a legit OEM Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1A - Black, packed in an OEM style plastic bag. Operates as it should just like the original retail versions that are no longer available. Based on the sample I received I ordered another as a backup.

Cons: None obvious ATM.

Pros: Comfortable. Works left or right handed. Simple, lightweight. Wheel is easy to operate.

Cons: They don't have any extra programmable buttons (if you are looking for that).

Overall Review: I own three of these because I like them so much. I use them for work and gaming.
