Most Helpful First | Newest FirstLogitech Optical Wheel Mouse
This is a great product for frequent internet users. The Optical WheelMouse by Logitech works awesome on both MACs and PCs. The Optical freedom gives you control on any surface. The Wheel is great for scrolling all websites and eliminates the hastle of hinding the scroll bar on the screen. The Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse is also great for both righties and lefties! The software is no hastle and is up and running in minutes. I recommend this product to everyone
The only low $ mouse to consider
Unless you are going for a shaker (ifeel-I am, after Maximum PC comments and my experience with Logitech mouses vs. others) or a wireless (unacceptable for hard core gamers), this is the only mouse to consider. It's price can't be beat, and for the low bucks you get superb quality and precision. This mouse is recognized with built in Windows drivers, so you usually don't even have to install Logitech's propreitary drivers with the "extra" features. You plug it in and it works. Or you can install the drivers and in my experience they will peacefully coexist side by side. I have used this to be able to have both a Kensington Orbit with it's drivers installed (in the PS2 socket), which my wife likes, and this mouse (in a USB socket) on the same PC. Use one or the other, just move the other out of the way. I have another one for use with my laptop (that also must do side by side duty with the touch pad) that suffers road travel. I have yet to even have to clean either one. High value with a low entry fee.
Reliability and value
When I was issued a new computer at work, it came with a snazzy new Microsoft wheel mouse. I've never been a big fan of the Microsoft mice (I find they get jammed up too easily, and they aren't overly ergonomic). The wheel, however, had me instantly hooked.
Logitech has long been a dominant force in pointing devices. I've always found their products to be more reliable than the Microsoft counterparts -- it's not that either break down entirely, but Logitech's products require less frequent cleaning, giving you more accurate and efficient use. The accompanying software integrates into the desktop seamlessly, and you'll quickly find yourself unable to do without the wheel. The convenience is overwhelming!
A great mouse at a good price.
A very comfortable mouse -- even for a Mouse Potoato like me.
Great Mouse
This is a great mouse. We have one already and are buying this one for our second computer. It is very easy to get used to and forms well to your hand. The scroll is very nice. We have had no problems with this brand. Highly recommended.
