It's awful.
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 300. It doesn't move right 95% of the time. I thought it was Microsoft so it was ok. It was cheap too, on sale at Target for just over $20. The worse mouse I've ever used. I went on Yahoo tech and I couldn't believe it was $128.95! Unfortunately I threw away the box so I can't take it back. I'm going to Compusa hopefully they have a good sale. Stay away from this mouse!

really? Have you replaced the batteries?

Maybe it was cheap because it was a batch of faulty mice that Target is getting rid of...

Microsoft mice are quite decent actually....sorry to hear about your experience though

It's a new battery. Yeah maybe just mine was defective.

My favorite mouse were the trackballs by microsoft which they have so nicely stopped making, and now the prices are going up on ebay to where they are double to triple the MSRP.

and with my laptop I really need a usb mouse, as I have no ports to plug in a mouse that has a standard ps2 connector.

And while logitech has a trackball mouse the way it is designed cause my wrist to hurt and hand to go numb, so I stay away from them.

Seems that microsoft is constantly making good or decent products worse and cheaper.

Mooch

Hi oneandonemakesix, you must have quite a steady hand. I never could get used to a trackball. I can move about as fast with IBM/Lenovo's pointer (looks like a pencil eraser sticking out between the keys) as I can with a trackball. I'm a mouse and touch pad kind of guy. Once I bought an ergonomic split keyboard with integrated touch pad for my PII running Windows 95. I swear the machine ran twice as fast with only one input to monitor. :)

In fact I found that all the wireless mouse isn't good enough. My friend gave me a wireless keyboard and mouse, but sometimes there will be an error. So I prefer to use mouse and keyboard with wire.

I have a 5-button wireless mouse from Wenger, maker of Swiss Army knives. It works, but I don't like it. It's sitting on my bookshelf now. I'm using my Targus laptop mouse on the desktop, and sticking with the touch pad on my laptop. The roller ball mouse that came with my desktop is still in the box. :)
