I've purchased this mouse to replace my old Microsoft mouse. It feels very comfortable and the pointer movement is very precise. On a different computer, I am using the Microsoft optical WheelMouse, and thus, am able to compare the two. The Micro Innovations mouse controls the pointer with better precision. The MS WheelMouse, however, loses the pointer position on certain occasions (like once every hundred mouse movements). Also, the wheel between the two buttons works in the same way as the MS WheelMouse.
The only downside is that it does not include a USB connector, and also I was somewhat deceived by Amazon's picture:
- the mouse is WHITE, not GRAY/SILVER
- the wheel is BLUE, not BLACK
- the top of the mouse is not clean/blank; instead, it contains the "MICRO INNOVATIONS" logo.
I am using a dark gray/black keyboard and monitor, and was hoping this mouse would match the same color scheme. Nonetheless, this is only a minor issue.
The bottomline is: if you're looking for an optical PS/2 wheel mouse, Micro Innovations' Optical mouse is definitely the best buy.

The mouse is excellent, but it is not USB like it says on this site. It is a PS/2 mouse, and it's white and blue, not grey and black.

First off its not the same mouse in the picture shown. The coloring is totally different and its not shaped like the picture either. It has a very basic shape and is not curved for better grip and comfort. All that aside its still a decent mouse. Compared to any other optical mouse its [a good price].

The mouse I got works fine, but I ordered an optical mouse with USB interface. The one I got is not USB.

The mouse is packaged well and works as I expected. I was happy to find an optical mouse at such a good price.

The description says USB interface though and this is a PS2 interface mouse. There isn't a PS2 to USB adapter or anything like that in the kit either. Fortunately, I can use it on the PS2 port for the machine I needed it for.

The price is right, and it works very well. No complaints. It doesn't feel cheap or fragile; in fact, it feels just like my old wheel mouse--only it tracks better. The only downside is the annoying (trendy?) red light that's emitted from the sides of the device.

I was not sure about making the purchase because it was so much less money than the other optical products on the market(you get what you pay for), but I thought what do I have to lose. I have been very pleased with it's performance and feel. For the price I am very impressed and have recommened it to my friends.

This is a good mouse...the buttons and scroll wheel have just the right touch. My only complaint is that I still have to use a mouse pad even though it is optical because it goes crazy when I use it on the wood-grain pattern of my desk. I don't know if this would happen with other optical mice, or if it is a problem common to all of them.

PD450P Micro Optical Mouse conects to your computor using a usb connection and works great.This is my first Optical mouse and for the price belive me you can`t go wrong

I purchased and installed this product for a client of mine. I'm a computer consultant/technician. The installation was very easy. Sadly, the scroll wheel feature does not function properly in Microsoft Access from Office 97.

My client has a database with 768 entries. No matter where you are in this database, if you scroll up you go non-stop to record number one. If you scroll down you go non-stop to record number last. I have not found any way to stop this process.

Curiously, when you use the scroll wheel in other applications, it works pretty much as one would expect it to. I've found a few cases where it doesn't do anything, however.

Compared to any of the Logitech or Microsoft mice I've installed and/or used, I believe the software driver for this mouse may leave something to be desired.

I will update this review if and when the manufacturer replies to my email to their tech support department with a solution.
