This is without a doubt the smoothest functioning mouse I have ever owned and I have had more mice than Mickey mouse. This mouse feels soft and comfortable and cradles the hand like a luxury car cradles you when sit in it. Everyone I have allowed to try it out has been impressed to say the least. As for those reviewers who claim this mouse made their hand ache, or wrist hurt... perhaps you should hold the mouse properly, you must have stood on your head to get this effect. I like this mouse so much I am getting another just like it for gaming on my laptop!

I bought this to replace an aging Intellimouse Optical and to see what the fuss is all about on the tilt wheel. Overall, it is a good solid mouse. It is lighter than the Intellimouse Explorer Wireless version 1, so the weight isn't a bother at all. Additionally, this mouse can run on only one AA battery, which saves even more weight. The leather top doesn't really feel like leather, but it looks classy against a rosewood desk.

The tilt wheel feels very natural in Excel and Visual Studio. It even works in FireFox. The wheel scrolls smoothly, which will feel natural too after a few minutes of using this mouse.

Be sure to download the latest Intellimouse 5.2 software from Microsoft to take full advantage of the mouse' features.

Wow, another great piece of hardware by Microsoft, you cannot go wrong if you pick up this wireless mouse. Signal is strong, the mouse is very comfortable to use for hours upon hours, and the setup was a breeze. Yes, Logitech makes some nice keyboard/mice, but I always seem to prefer Microsoft's stuff. I don't want to support Microsoft but I find their hardware to be more comfortable and better design goes into their products. You will not be disappointed if you pick up this mouse!!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
