Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The IntelliMouse combines the scroll wheel with award-winning ergonomic design. By streamlining navigational tasks such as scrolling in Web pages and documents, Microsoft IntelliMouse sets an advanced standard for pointing devices. Save time and steps. Simply roll the wheel forward or backward instead of clicking on a scroll bar or arrow. Work hands-free with AutoScroll. Press the wheel, set the scroll speed, then watch your document scroll automatically. Use the wheel to see either close-up or big-picture views without having to use menus or toolbars (in compatible applications). IntelliMouse is designed to be comfortable. Its raised back fits the palm of your hand, and its side is curved so it's easy to hold - whether you're right-handed or left-handed.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0 (Personal Computers)

This mouse is made to last. I've had mine for seven years and it still works great today. The BEST QUALITY MOUSE in the world! Buy it now and you can look forward to a good eight to eleven years with your new mouse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable workhorse, December 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0 (Personal Computers)

This was one of the first mice I ever bought. I've had it for at least four years and it's performed reliably with every computer it's been connected to. I've brought it with me from job to job and back and forth from home and have never had any problems with it. The buttons always click crisply and the wheel revolves easily. Now I'm buying another one to permanently connect to my home laptop workstation so I can leave one at work and one at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Shape for Mouse EVER, June 5, 2006

This review is from: Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0 (Personal Computers)

First of all, I'd like to begin by saying that I've used almost all the mice out there. From the $60 Logitech G5 (supposed to be the most advanced mouse out there) and the $70 Razor Copperhead and I have to say, none whatsoever, can matchup to the legendary balled intellimouse series.

The shape is ingenius. It is perfect. When I decided to switch to optical, I thought that I can get one that performs as well as the intellimouse but w/o the hassle of having a ball. I thought I could get greater accuracy. However, Logitech mice are very poorly shaped.

They have the fundamental concept of how you are supposed to use a mouse all wrong. And now, MS is actually copying them by stopping production of their Intellimouse Explorer series and coming out with the new laser mice that are shaped similar to logitech. NO!!!!

There were some optical mice that could matchup to the balled Intellimouse 3.0. They are the Intellimouse optical 1.1 SECOND EDITION, and the intellimouse Explorer 3.0. Both of which has stopped production and will bid over $200 on EBay!!!

What I want to do is take the LED or laser out of the current mice I have and put it in my old Intellimouse 1.1a (same as 3.0). Then I will finally have an optical mouse that I love as much as my old intellimouse. =]
