Customer Reviews

Excellent
I used to use a traditional mouse before going optical. It would skip or not respond after a few months of normal use. With an optical mouse, I've never had these problems again, and I've had this mouse for about a year now.

I've tried this mouse on several different surfaces, and it seems to work well on almost all of them (doesn't work well on glass or mirrors). Using it on a traditional mousepad gives excellent response performance.

I don't think I will ever go back to a mechanical mouse again.

Microsoft IntelliLemon
First of all, this is an excellent mouse. The only better mouse for gaming is the Logitech Mouseman Wheel, and it's a close race between the two.

At least for a while.

After a month, however, the buttons on my IntelliEye mouse began to stop registering clicks and they soon stopped functioning altogether. Microsoft gladly replaced it for free, so I was okay with the whole ordeal, but unfortunately, after a few more months, the new one suddenly stopped working. I'll probably consider getting the free replacement again, but if it happens one more time, I'm probably just going to forget about it.

If you don't mind having to call and order a free replacement every few months, this mouse is a great buy. Otherwise, have a look at Logitech's line.

Defected MOUSE, do not buy
The IntelliMouse with IntelliEye is one of the worse Optical Mouse. I had 2 of these and both of it were defected. Sometime the mouse would stop working, move by itself, and scroll speed would go up and down. I called Microsoft and they had a back order of these because there was so many that were defected. If you want an optical mouse, get the IntelliMouse Explorer, IntelliMouse Optical, or Logitech Optical MouseMan.
