What can I say? Possibly the best mouse ever? Well I don't know this is only my second one. I decided to buy it since the mouse that came with my computer 2 years ago seemed to be defective since the beginning and worsened over time. I couldn't take it. I didn't know what to look for in a mouse or which to buy. I loved the price and 5 stars for average rating of customers, what the heck, let's give this mousy a try. And I'm glad I did. As soon as I plugged it in, huge difference. It definantly does as you wish. I love the webwheel feature. When you're on the web and click on the scroll button, this wheel comes out on the screen, and you can use the back, forward, stop, refresh, bookmark button, and I think more just from the wheel. Great feature for sure. It glides so smoothly, and no pesky little ball at the bottom of the mouse to interfere. Personally I like the glowing red light at the bottom of the mouse everytime it's in use. Also, it has a lot of helpful content and offers that come with the software, which can be disabled if it gets on your nerves. Give this mouse a try. Take care.

I bought this mouse thinking I'd probably end up replacing it with a more expensive Microsoft optical Intellimouse... 20 bucks for an optical mouse, I figured it'd probably make it 6 months and die on me.

It's been almost 2 years...I'm still using my logitech optical 'cause it does everything I need it to! It responds well, it's comfortable to use, and I haven't had a days problem with it! The scroll wheel also makes scanning webpages and lists a lot easier.

Also, the fact it comes with a PS/2 adapter has saved me some grief (and more than a couple bucks) with my KVM switch (a switch that allows for multiple computers to hook up to one keyboard, mouse and keyboard).

If you're looking for a great little mouse that holds up really well, look no further... you've found it!

I've had my Logitech Optical Mouse for 2 years now, have used it on 2 different computers and 3 operating systems and have had a total of 0 (zero) problems. I always use the USB interface, they OS (Win98, WinME, XP Pro) instantly recognizes the mouse and it works right away.

No moving parts, so there is nothing to wear out (except the little feet pad on the bottom). The wheel works well with all of my software.

A great device for the price!

Just like most of the other reviewers I was sick of my "ball" mouse getting gunk in it. Sure, I could open it up and clean it, but all of the gunk never seemed to come out. Finally, I just got fed up with it. After reading reviews on optical mice on the cheaper end of the spectrum I ended up getting this one. I love it! I do a lot of photo editing with Photoshop and you need to have an acurate mouse. Before it was a pain to do close-up editing. Now it's a piece of cake. This mouse, as of yet doesn't have any of the problems jumping around the screen that other op-mice have. The only "problem" is getting used to how fast it moves because movement isn't dependent upon the friction of the ball against the mouse pad. After just 24 hrs, though, I'm over that lil problem.

~ ~ Between my old beloved Macintosh, and my new PC, I must have gone through 10 Mouses (Mice?).
Each one, no matter what brand, ended up getting "stuck"- the ball inside that guides the mouse's
movement, would stop rolling smoothly. I'm willing to share some of the blame, occasionally I have
nicotine fit while working, and I know the ashes spell death to the Mouse's performance. The same problem
occurs with the sticky fingers the kids sometimes have when using the computer.

~ ~ I do a lot of amateur photo-editing. (Adobe Photoshop and less expensive, Photodeluxe are great!) This
means that having a mouse with really precise and accurate tracking is absolutely vital! I was a little
skeptical about the optical mouse, but I bought this Logitech basic optical mouse on sale.
It is wonderful. I can even notice the difference in the wonderfully precise movements when I play simple
online games like "Collapse" and "Bounce Out".

~ ~ For any work that requires precise cursor movement (Photo-editing, Illustration, fast-paced Games), this
mouse is terrific. I've had it for 2 months now. A normal mouse would have required at least 2 cleanings of
the inner ball mechanism, but the Mouse hasn't let me down yet.

I highly recommend the Logitech Optical Mouse as an inexpensive investment, which will greatly improve
the way you succeed with many of your applications. This purchase was a winner!

Update... 9 months later... It's STILL wonderful, not a single problem!!!

This is a wonderful deal. This mouse was effortless to install and worked perfectly out of the box. It is also very comfortable to hold. What an incredible upgrade from the oldfashioned mouse I was using! So far, this thing is working perfect and I am very satisfied. I couldnt see spending extra money when this cool little mouse does everything I need. I highly recommend this mouse!

If you're looking for a basic, no frills optical mouse that has a wheel, go with the Logitech Optical Mouse.

This mouse is a standard at my workplace, because:
- The price is close to a non-optical mouse with similar features
- Processes more images per second than the competition, so it's ideal for games too (other first gen optical mice lose accuracy when you move the mouse really fast and end up moving the mouse pointer in a random direction)
- Easy setup. Just plug and play.
- Very durable, stood up to constant abuse we give it.

And for the other reviewers than mention this, please don't knock this mouse because it doesn't work as well on a shiny surface. Optical mice (including this one and all the others) are not designed to work on a shiny surface, so go get yourself one of the millions of mousepads in existance that does not have this property.

Not sure how you review a mouse -- either it works or it doesn't. This one does, usually. The wheel is especially helpful and I love the fact that I don't need a mousepad.

On the other hand, I've noticed that the optical stuff occasionally gets messed up, sending my pointer flying into the corner of my screen even when I only make a small move with the mouse. It appears to be related to the surface that I use the mouse on -- oddly enough, it happens a lot more when I use a mousepad! I think that's just how optical mice work.

I'd buy it again. Heck, I did buy it again.

I have always liked Logitech's products. I own a wireless keyboard, the Trackman FX mouse alternative, Wingman Rumblepad, Extreme 3D joystick, cordless Playstation2 controller, and now, this humble little optical mouse. Every single one of those Logitech products exceeded my expectations.

I bought a used computer on ebay to add to my home network. It did not come with a mouse. So, not wanting to spend a whole lot of money, I went for this inexpensive optical mouse and ordered from Amazon, along with a KDS 17-inch monitor. I thought it would be necessary to install the included drivers to get it to work with Windows 2000 Advanced Server. However, using the USB port, the mouse immediately began to work without the need to install the drivers from the CD.

This particular computer system is in a dark part of the house. I can plainly see the red light start to glow brighter from the bottom of the unit during use. This device works on a variety of surface, so you do not need a mouse pad.

I highly recommend this Logitech mouse. It is a very good product even if you do not factor in the low price.

I will write a review of the KDS 17-inch monitor as soon as I have had a chance to evaluate it further.

I have been frustrated with my mouse for a long time as the ball kept getting gummed up. I 'splurged' and bought this mouse for $15 and it was one of the best purchases I have made yet. The mouse is perfect! It fits perfectly in the contours of my hand and its extremely light. The cord is really long (which could be good or bad for you). I give it two thumbs up.
