Reviews say low price and reliable performance are the hallmarks of the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical. There are no frills or features beyond the optical sensor and scroll wheel, but reviewers say the mouse is comfortable to use and reasonably well made. The mouse is available in white or black. If you have a bigger budget, the Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700 (*Est. $70) is a superior performer, especially for gaming. The Microsoft Arc Mouse (*Est. $40) is cordless and gets good reviews for portable use. The Logitech Performance Mouse MX (*Est. $75) is considered the best general-use mouse available.

Professional reviewers don't review budget mice. However, users are not bashful in speaking their minds. You can find lots of user reviews of the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical at Amazon.com. Though there are far fewer reviews at Newegg.com, but it's still a good destination because contributors often have superior technical knowledge.
