Reviews say low price and reliable performance are the hallmarks of the Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse. There are no frills or features beyond the optical sensor and scroll wheel, but reports say that the mouse is comfortable to use, and is reasonably well made. The mouse is available in white or black. If you have a bigger budget, the Logitech G5 (*est. $45) is a superior performer, especially for gaming. The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (*est. $50) is cordless and gets good reviews for desktop or portable use. If you have a much bigger budget, the Logitech MX Revolution (*est. $70) is considered the best general use mouse currently 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 Optical Mouse at Amazon.com. Though there are far fewer reviews at Newegg.com, it's a good destination because contributors often have good technical knowledge.
