4.0 out of 5 stars A Better mouse than MS Optical Wheelmouse, March 11, 2002

By	R. Fong "jcswf" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mouse, but bad info!, November 17, 2001

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the money, September 25, 2001

By	Vin (Staten Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews

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].
