ActiveWin.Com: Microsoft Optical Mouse Blue - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 00:02 EST/05:02 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
I have posted my review of the Microsoft Optical Mouse Blue. Here is an excerpt: The Microsoft Optical Mouse Blue is an extension of the Microsoft Optical Mouse. The mouse is also about the same size as the Optical Mouse, sizing up at 3 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and an inch high. The mouse has a titanium finish around the bottom, with sort of a shimmering blue design on the top. The blue is in no way too “loud”, it is very subtle and appeasing to look at. A small red circle in the front of the design lights up when the mouse is plugged in (the sensor is on). | ||

I want my back button! :)
But blue is the bestest color! |

| After coming to rely on the 5 button IntelliMouse Explorer, I don't think I can go back to a 3-button mouse. Thank goodness I'm not an Apple fan, or I'd be stuck with one button. AHHH! |

| No grid needed for these. You may have trouble on glass surfaces, but other than that, they're great. I have had a MS Trackball Explorer (same tech as the mice) since it was released and haven't had a problem yet. Before that I had an (non-optical) intellimouse trackball (which also worked great). |

| Better Elvis, yes Microsoft has a problem making up its mind. It says on the website it uses 6000 frames/s BUT it is indeed an error I spoke with the product manager and they are fixing the typo - for most mice still it is 2500 frames/s. #5 - These optical mice are VERY reliable. I've had the IntelliMouse with IntelliEye (Now Discontinued), since it was first released a few years ago. No problems! |

| I think they are definitely snappy and responsive.. |

My Intellimouse Explorer is snappy and responsive. I had the first one fail because of a bad cable, but Microsoft replaced it with the newer design which I've had no issues with.
I just like the fact that it never sticks when moving across the table. |

I don't get the idea of a cordless mouse...it just sits on your desk and moves no more then one foot radius if that... For a laptop I guess?
My Intellimouse optical rocks and I have never had a problem with it (wish I could say the same for my PC). |

#3,
You ain't stuck with nuttin'... You can plug in nearly any mouse you want. MaxOS X has full built-in support for dual-button mice. No, I don't like the Apple mouse either, so I don't use it. I use a Kensington Trackball Pro that has more buttons on it than I can find uses for. TL |

#5,
I have the Logitech Wirless Keyboard/Mouse and it usually works fine. The only time I have trouble is when I dust off the desk with Old English or whatever. It then gets funky until the 'sheen' clears away. I'm about to throw the damned Logitech keyboard in the trash though. I've got two keys going bad already, and the thing isn't but 6 months old. Time for another Office Keyboard! TL |

One thing I've noticed that the Wireless Intellimouse Explorer is not as responsive when playing Unreal Tournament. (LOL) I thought that the heavy feel of the mouse (because of the batteries) would help me aim better for a head shot, but not in this case.
I switch to my Intellimouse Optical to play Unreal ...which by the way is considered to be the best mouse to play with. =) The Wireless Optical Mouse Blue feels great also, but it doesn't have the back / forward button like the blue. Yes I do like the blue color ...and it matches the color of my laptop. |
