2.0 out of 5 stars Possible remedy for the scroll wheel problem, April 28, 2008

It appears that the following steps may remedy the scroll wheel problem:

1. Turn on your computer with the USB receiver plugged in.
2. Once your computer has booted up, remove the batteries from your mouse.
3. Re-insert your batteries.

The scroll wheel should work normally now.

I know the above may sound silly, but I have tried it on two separate mouse and they worked (for me).

1.0 out of 5 stars lousy: hard to scroll, no way to power off, February 22, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000- Sterling Grey ( 69J-00002 ) (Personal Computers)

I've used Microsoft mice in the past and they've been great, but this one is terrible.
The good: it's shape and size are good, it's precise and it came with 2 alkaline batteries (AA).
The bad: scroll wheel is difficult to turn because the click indents are too big. You tend to accidentally click it instead because you have to press down a bit to get enough grip to turn the wheel. And there's no way to turn the mouse off except by removing the batteries, and the batteries are not easy to take out. Poor design.

The mouse works great as long as you don't use the scroll button. You have to scroll very slow, and it still skips. Everything else about it is very good.
