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

Works flawlessly, no problems at all

The scrolling is excellent....none of that click stuff like the older mouses.

The leather is not that "leathery", but is comfortable.

I have 3 minor complaints however.

1. The left click is a little stubborn at times, u have to somtimes change the angle you are clicking at

2. The scroll wheel button takes some effort to push down...

3. The forward and back buttons are a little high up for my hands, but other for most other people it will be alright

I have no problems with mozzila Firefox, the back and forward work great for it.

Overall i would reccomend this mouse to everyone.

Top quality software and all

This mouse is pretty nice, It was wacky at first until i got a nice connection. Since then its been good. I hope the battery life holds up. Its nice that it ships with batteries too. I'm not a fan of wireless keyboards and mice, but i decided to give it a go. I wont buy a wireless keyboard though. Give it a shot, I think you'll like it.

It is the best mouse i've ever used. Especially the wheel, very smooth. My roommate has a logitech wireless mouse, whose wheel is less smooth as fast than this one. I always thought logitech is the best brand for mouse and keyborad. Now I will never consider logitech. Microsoft is much better than Logitech.

I bought this mouse because of its physical look (very attractive) and the advertised 3x longer battery life. In the end, I decided not to keep it. The shape and size of the mouse make it so uncomfortable to hold; my wrist and my hand hurt so much after a day of use. I thought that it needs a little time to get used to, but after a few days, I simply gave up. Therefore, before deciding on this mouse, make sure you try it first as it may not be for everyone.

UPDATE: I have tried some other mice like the Logitech Cordless Click! Plus and the MX700. I didn't like the way they fit in my hand either because of the rather weird shapes. In the end, I am settled with the Logitech 2x wireless mouse. It does not have two extra buttons like the others but is so comfortable to the hand. I just love the mouse. Sometimes, less means more (the mouse is only $29.95 MSRP)...

I was hesitant in buying another Wireless Mouse. Because my old Wireless Optical Blue Mouse one was constantly losing the conection to the reciver. But I spotted this one on sale and decided to give it a try. I must say it is much better than my old Blue one. It fits better in my hand and wheel movement is much smoother and quiet. Love the side to side motion but don't see to many time I need to. Can't give it 5 stars because I don't know this is the best. The optical is much more accurate than the old ball mouse. Never mind no skipping. Hope the battery life is as good as they claim.

Great job Microsoft! This mouse is extremely easy to set up and use. Just install the software make a couple of connections and in a few minutes you're up and running like never before. Performance-wise you just can't beat it. It's extremely precise and the shape feels so good in my hand. Buttons are simple to program. If you're in the market for a wireless keyboard, as well, I highly recomend the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite Keyboard and Mouse, which is the same mouse included with an awesome keyboard. I have the set. My partner kept wanting to borrow my Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer with Tilt Wheel, so I'm here buying one for him for his birthday today. Buy it. You won't be sorry!

I owned and used this mouse for about five years. The "leather" look of it, I thought, was quite classy. Much nicer looking than the equivalent mouse without the leather trim.

It was an OK mouse, I suppose. It didn't do so well when I tried using it on top of one of those crystal clear desk protectors.

I now have the Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse and I like it a lot better. It glides easier, the clicking is a more gentle in nature, the double-clicking is more precise, and it has a number of superior buttons/features built directly into the mouse.
