Good optical mouse.......2007-09-15

Particularly i like the microsoft hardware products, and this is not the exception. Good and fully functionally basic optical mouse.

Perfect for Every Day Use.......2007-09-14

This is a great every day mouse. If you're looking to upgrade from the old fashion track ball mouse, this is the perfect product for you. No more mouse pads, no more taking your mouse apart to clean the track ball or the inside rollers every month or so. I always hated that I had to open up my old mouse and clean out the crud that would build up in there and interfere with it's basic operation. One thing I have noticed though is that with the scroll wheel, sometimes when scrolling down a page it will go that one extra click on it's own. It's not a big deal at all, but it's just one of those glitches you notice. Not even enough to take a star away though in my opinion. For the price, this is one of the top optical mouse's you can buy.

Didnt last too long..........2007-08-16

This mouse stopped working after about 2months. It now doesnt turn on, there's no light coming from the mouse. I need to get a new one now.

Good but not perfect.......2007-08-13

I have used this mouse for 6 months now. It is a replacement for the original Dell track-ball mouse that came with the computer. Overall, it is a good mouse but I routinely expereince mouse jitters( ~2 seconds ) during switching of web page from one to another. I never had this problem with the original Dell track-ball mouse. As a web based computer game player, I hit the mouse button probably 300 times a day on the average and the left mouse switch is showing early signs of wear after 6 months of use( that is 54,000 clicks ). I hope this mouse will last for at least a year. All in all, this is a good mouse but its durability is something remained to be seen.

Pretty good mouse for the money........2007-07-16

This mouse works superbly, it's just not as comfortable in my hand as my old Logitech mouse. A little ergonomics would make this mouse perfect.

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical - I hate cleaning. Just ask my wife and you'll know I'm not lying. So you can understand what an accute lack of joy I used to experience using a pair of tweezers to pull out black gunk from my mouse. I said "used to" because I now have the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical! With optical technology, a little camera tracks your movements with a much higher precision - and no ball means no black gunk too!

Amazon.com Product Description

Microsoft has replaced the old-fashioned mouse ball with the Wheel Mouse Optical, featuring an IntelliEye optical sensor to provide smooth and precise motion. Without a mouse ball, there are no moving parts to clean or wear down. The IntelliEye optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.

The Wheel Mouse Optical comes with a scroll wheel for scrolling and zooming. Move through documents by simply rolling the wheel forward or backward instead of clicking on a scroll bar. Use the wheel to see either close-up or big-picture views without having to use menus or toolbars (in compatible applications). The mouse also features an ambidextrous design for comfort. Whether you are left-handed or right-handed, have a large or small hand, the design of the Wheel Mouse Optical feels comfortable.

The Wheel Mouse Optical's IntelliEye optical sensor scans the desktop 6,000 times per second, delivering smooth, precise motion on virtually any surface, even through dirt, dust, and fingerprints. The IntelliEye sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail (e.g., glass) or surfaces where it will see its reflection (for example, mirrors or glossy surfaces). The sensor may also have difficulty tracking on highly repetitive patterns (for example, some printed photographs from magazines or newspapers).

Microsoft offers a three-year warranty on the Wheel Mouse Optical.

This is the most comfortable optical mouse I have used. It works great on my Mac Pro.

Classic mouse.......2007-07-23

Nice design and easy to use.

It fits my hands well and really increases the efficiency of work.

No more "Rolling" along........2007-07-06

Microsofts Optical Wheel Mouse,(No Ball to clean) is very easy to use,plug it into where your old mouse is pluged. It comes with a CD that you just pop into your computer which shows you how to Adjust the mouse.
You can still use the mouse even if you don't use the CD, but the CD helps you adjust your scrolling speed. (like for playing games).

Optical wheel stopped working after 6 months.......2007-04-03

The mouse worked perfectly up until today when the scroll wheel stopped responding. Still works when you press the wheel but no longer works "as a wheel". The rest of the mouse still works including that pointless rear facing LED which does nothing at all

Hmm Microsoft ... extra parts that do nothing at all ... Hmm ?

Multi-Pack - how many is that??.......2004-04-21

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how many of these mice you get in the "multi-pack". After a Google search, looks to be "5". This is a pretty glaring omission,IMO.

Haven't used this product yet, after picking a couple of these up locally on sale for around $13 ea., but generally speaking, MS produces pretty good quality components, so I expect this product to work well.
Hope this helps.

This mouse has no balls!.......2003-06-07

An old joke, but a good one. The ball-less mouse is awesome! It can be ported to the usual mouse plug in slot (uhh, my brain isnt working the way it used to, PS/2?) or to USB. As I have USB 2.0 on my mobo, (lots and lots of USB slots) this was a nice and fast option.
It is incredibly fast, (adjustable, of course) and already, within two days, I can see the AMAZING difference between my old mouse Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.2A PS/2.
The balls arent there to collect fur, hence it will awalys stay fresh and fast (without, as so many of us are used to, having to 'shave our mice' or take the roller ball cover off and get tweesers out to get the grunge out *ick! do my hands really get covered in that crud? No wonder I get colds from my children!).

This mouse has a LOT of options for tweaking, if you like that sort of thing, or can be used straight up as a one wheel, two click mouse. I LOVE IT.

I WILL NOT GIVE IT BACK.

THIS MOUSE IS GREAT. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING IT, DO SO!

The product arrived damaged in shipment but the merchant promptly sent a replacement. The mouse itself is an addition to many we already use in the office. They are reliable and maintenance free.

Killer mouse for ambidexterous use and smooth scroll.......2003-05-02

This is the best mouse I've owned. I tried the wireless rat and it did not meet the reliability standards with the batteries and inconsistent operability. This optical wheel mouse works beautifully with the smoothest scroll wheel going. I switch back and forth between left and right hands for ergonomic reasons. The symmetrical design facilitates this practice nicely.

All that you could wish for in a basic mouse.......2003-04-23

This mouse is great, there was a slight connector issue with the last piece i got but the replacement works great.... pointer motion is smooth and the mouse itself is well shaped for holding... there are no customisable keys but accept it, we rarely need them...
this is a great piece of hardware and anyone looking for a simple and versatile mouse for a computer should look no further... value for money completely...

Pretty good.......2003-03-30

Pretty good mouse, it points, it scrolls, what more do you want a mouse to do? I wish it had a little more weight, I think this mouse is too light. I like the weight of the logitech better, but the scroll wheel is better on the MS mouse.

Best Mouse on The Market.......2003-01-18

I have used this mouse for over a year with Windows 98SE and Windows XP Home. I was a bit surprised that XP had no driver update, but it works fine just the same. I have yet to find a superior mouse. Trust me, I have looked. I recommend this product without any hessitation to anyone looking to replace the traditional mouse. It functions even without a mouse pad. I doubt that there is a better product out there.

Customer Reviews:

Reasonable, comfortable, good buy and a little complex.......2003-01-28

Update 7/3/05:

This phone is still in use as my daily phone as of this update. It has required a replacement battery. Other than that, its been solid and held up well.

The answering machine does sound a bit dated compared to what is on the market today with the 5.8 phones.

Overall, I'm pleased and do not regret buying it!

...end update

Unlike the other reviewer of this phone. I have been pleased with mine. Sound quality rivals corded phones. The earpiece is comfortable and can provide long conversations with comfort. Caller ID is also easy to use on the lighted LCD. Lighted keypads are also nice.

Answering machine is reasonable also. Its not hifi or anything, but I'd put it in the top 75% in sound quality. It also takes a little bit to set up. I like the slow playback feature of the messages. I use it once in awhile on a person I know who talks really fast!

Responding to the range. Normally 3 houses either way is considered decent range. I don't know what the previous poster had for a criteria. If he wants to go a block, he's bound for many disappointments. I live in an apartment, so I don't need 300' of range. I did test the phone's range once. I'd say I got it to 1/4 of a mile (with choppiness). Anyone considering a digital phone of any frequency should keep in mind that digital is fickle when the signal gets weak or interfered with. Thats why the manufacturers say put the phone in a good central spot for optimum range. High intereference spots or bad locations just kill digital phones. Where as analog phones just get staticy, digital cuts out once it loses a viable signal. It either works, chops in and out or not at all. .

Anyhow, I've gotten away from my review of this fine phone. Only drawback I've really had is programming it. It does take some time with the manual to get it cooking. Thus the 4 stars. Once you have it set though, its a good working phone.

Another feature I bought it for - ringer high, low and off.

Well worth the buy and constructed well too.

nice on the outside but has some odd issues.......2002-04-06

I have searched about every phone looking for a replacement to our old Lucent tech phone. My mom's requirements were for a phone w/ built-in caller id and an answering system, and the phone had to be wall-mountable (the lucent was the same). I found several phones that were good, had caller id, but lacked the answering system or were not easily wall mounted...we bought this phone.

The answering machine sound quality is acceptable. Not great, but acceptable. The mic is on the backside near the bottom. THe sound IS a significant improvement over the Lucent phone which had a very bad mic and fuzzy playback. Using the answering system is easy enough. The manual really is a necessity though, in order to program some of the options, because you have to know the number code for the option u want to set (# of rings, etc...) But it is not hard. Inputing names/numbers into the directory is easy.

The real weakness is the 2.4 ghz transmission. I did a range test with my mom at work and me on the panasonic. I walked around the house and when I had a brick wall and one room between me and the phone (30 feet about) the signal got choppy and cut out frequently. The signal only had good range when the phone was divided by less solid materials (wood/glass) and even then, I got just beyond 120 feet or so (3 houses) when the phone cut out again and i had to run about 60 feet back to re-acquire contact with my mom...The 2.4 ghz phones seem to all have problems with reception and this one is no different. Do NOT buy 2.4 ghz phones! I will now order a 900 mhz digital phone of either sony or Sanyo (highest ratings on range/clarity) or something. This phone is going back ...! Useless piece of junk

Poor Answering Machine Sound Quality.......2002-03-20

The phone works ok but the answering machine sound quality is very poor. I returned it. It is definately not worth the money.

Good product for the price.......2002-02-22

I've got the KX-TG2481S (same model, just silver), and have loved it! I have excellent reception in all locations, and though it takes a bit of practice to use the answering features, you CAN delete individual messages and keep the ones you want to save. I'm not sure why the previous reviewer was unable to figure it out.

I'm able to easily access my messages while I'm away from home, and have yet to have a single problem with a garbled or unintelligible message...

Lasted 4 months.......2002-02-11

We were tired of cheap phones with fuzzy reception, so we wanted a top-quality phone with a lot of clarity. We sure didn't get it here. First off, it's not the clarity one would expect from a 2.4 GHz phone and the answering machine's quality is even worse. The answering machine features are not very user-friendly. I would like to be able to save certain messages and delete others - but it's all or nothing. Looking up saved numbers is not user-friendly, either. Panasonic's customer service on their website leaves much to be desired - all I want to know is if the phone is still in warranty. I don't have to wait in a phone queue, then pay to ship the phone to another state....
