Home > Consumer Reviews > Microsoft Cordless Wheel Mouse (PS2)

I love not having the cord.. I was constantly dropping my mouse on the floor b/c I'm left handed and my computer is on the right hand side of the desk.. I would tug at the mouse and it would either come disconnected or fall to the floor and break. I replaced it 3 times by the time I bought this mouse. LOVE IT!

Ahh, so nice to get rid of that cord! The only minor complaint I have is that this mouse is a bit heavier than a standard corded mouse, so it takes some getting used to.

One of the problems I've had with other wheel mice is that by scrolling the wheel, it was far to easy to accidentally "click" the wheel as well. Not so with this model. The wheel rolls smoothly and requires some effort to click it, though not so much as to require a lot of effort.

this is the best mouse, if you are ready to lose that darn cord, it gives you more freedom to use your desk. those cords always got in my way. i love it, one less wire for the home user to put up with.

But it's great. My office had a few laying around and for some reason I got one. Definitely didn't want it, associated it with those mice with the balls on top - you know the ones.

Anyway, this is great. No more tugging at my mouse cord, mousing to the end of my tether, etc.

And the wheel is AWESOME. I have rather shaky hands and have trouble scrolling sometimes. Very annoying. The wheel solves that, it really makes my computer time more productive.

I have run into a little bit of interference from mobile phones or something, but I just changed the channel on the mouse and it was fine.

Defninitely a treat. Get yourself one, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Does your computer's mouse always seem to get its "tail" wrapped around various other objects on your computer desktop... or entangled with other input device cables? Is your electronic rodent's tail just plain too short to be really convenient?

The Microsoft Cordless Wheel Mouse may just be the solution for your problems! This input device operates on the same principle as your basic television remote control. A small battery operated transmitter inside the mouse sends a signal to a receiver module which is attached by cable to your computer. (Once you attach the receiver module, simply tuck it in an out-of-the-way, out-of-sight spot on your desktop; it'll work just fine!!) Gone forever is that pesky "tail" that attaches from the mouse to the back of your computer!

I received my Microsoft Cordless Wheel Mouse for Christmas, 2000; so far, I've been very impressed with it. It's proven itself every bit as reliable as its older "corded" sibling, but it's much more convenient as well! I can now sit back further from my monitor and operate the mouse either on a separate table or in my lap. Since I'm ambidextrous with a mouse, I find I can easily switch from right to left hand with the Microsoft Cordless Wheel Mouse.

Battery life has not proven itself to be a major concern. So far, I'm still operating on the same pair of alkaline AAA batteries that came with the mouse, with no sign of battery weakness yet.

If you're looking for greater convenience and flexibility from your mouse, without all those cable entanglement hassles, you'll find the Microsoft Cordless Wheel Mouse to be a great alternative!
