Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Labtec has designed this optical mouse with comfort and performance in mind, incorporating advanced sensor technology. The mouse uses an optical sensor instead of a ball, so your cursor glides smoothly and accurately with the latest technology. There's no more mouse ball to clean or hassle with.

The mouse offers three-button operation and a scrolling wheel for easy document and Web browsing. Its optical sensor captures thousands of frames per second for superior, more accurate tracking. There are no moving parts in the mouse that wear out, ensuring that tracking is always smoother, faster, and more accurate than with traditional mice. The mouse requires a PS/2 port and a Windows operating system for PCs and is compatible with Windows XP.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Little Mouse at a Great Price, January 21, 2003

The Labtec optical mouse has a nice feel in the user's hand. It is not too obtrusive or over-round and the fingers settle quite nicely on the mouse buttons.

The scroll wheel is a nice addition but is set in the mouse further than usual. This has its ups and downs. On the positive side, the scroll wheel does not protrude clumsily from the mouse. On the other hand, it does take some getting used to and slows the pace of scrolling.

The optical eye is smaller than I have seen on an optical mouse. Again, on the positive side, the small eye slows down the mouse movement such that the pointer does not go careening around the screen. On the down side, some people may like that feature in their mouse.

As for the construction, it does not feel like the most sturdy mouse out there but I suppose if you don't smack it around like a hockey puck, it should last you just fine.

I trade stocks for a living, so I need the speed and accuracy of an optical mouse, as well as a comfortable design since my hand is on it pretty much constantly for 8 hours a day. I used one of these at work for 3 months without any problem. I bought a Logitech for my home for $$... (Before I realized how inexpensive these were) and found the comfort, feel, and performance to be superior with this Labtec mouse in every way. It's the best mouse I've ever used -- regardless of price.

I have this Labtec mouse since April 2002 and it have never failed. I think that its price is very low compared with its functionality. I have Windows XP pro, and it works great with it.
