itsnotabigtruck Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Microsoft Wireless Mouse Optical 2.0 This sums it up: the Wireless Mouse Optical is the best mouse I ever bought. It has long battery life (batteries included), a great reciever, has amazing looks, and just works. Finally, it has Microsoft's Tilt Wheel Technology, which is really cool. The Setup Open box Take out mouse Install IntelliPoint Plug in mouse Enjoy. The Wheel It goes up, down, left, and right. Microsoft made a cool demo right here. It has a little inertia thing on the wheel to make a smooth feeling. The Feel It has glossy plastic which just feels good. Overall Don't think you need it? You need it. 5/5 stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecaveman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 How can people live without 5 button mice nowadays? For example when your on the web. You must be enable to do back and forward in your web browser with your mouse without the need to press thos dang pointless graphical buttons on the top of the screen, wastes way to much time.

itsnotabigtruck Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 (edited) Oh, wow. The pain of clicking Back and Forward. I have a 5-button IntelliMouse Explorer on my test machine and the two buttons get in the way. Also, because of the way I hold it (I'm a leftie) the 2 extra buttons are hard to press. Finally, I got my WMO for $30, and the WIME costs $50 (both prices from the same place). Edited May 11, 2004 by memodude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmonton Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Nice demo! So you buy it for your laptop? The driver doesn't conflict with your touchpad? I bought this mouse long time ago, and finally switched to WIME, costs $10 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahfunaki Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I have the 'steel blue' ( it looks black to me ) version of this mouse and I don't care for it just becase it doesn't have the back/forward buttons. I have an intellimouse optical usb and I like it so much more... I should sell it and get something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozgeek Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I have the black one. It does what I wanit it to do. A very basic wireless wheel mouse with tilt and optical technology. It came as part of my Microsoft Wireless Desktop Opitcal bundle which costed me $175 (aus $). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
