This Microsoft mouse has an excellent feel and is very easy to use. I love it and it's the only mouse I'll be using, unless they stop making it then I'll have to find another. Clicking and scrolling are very responsive. I turned on sounds to start navigation and provide audible feedback making sure I actually clicked by depressing the left or right buttons hearing a 'click' tone from my Creative T10 speakers. This mouse has large 'feet' on its bottom that enable it to glide easily on the mousepad as the optical sensor registers movement and places the cursor around the screen. I recommend using a USB-PS2 adapter to free up a USB port on your PC with this mouse. I installed the Intellipoint disk first and installed the mouse. Large number of cursor options with this. Buy this mouse, your hands will love it, and it's worth the price. I use it with XP and ME computers. Might even try it on a WIN98 machine when my old Microsoft heavy trackball finally dies. It's the closest thing to it.

Although this mouse has great response, the scroll feature is ridiculously inept. I installed the software, as instructed, but it is of little value. When scrolling, the scroll wheel has little clicks that you can feel. Each click runs the mouse down WAY too many lines. On most pages one click takes you almost to the end of the page. There is no setting anywhere in the software to change this. If you like manually dragging the slider down to move down a page in smaller increments, then fine. Otherwise don't bother with this mouse. I wish I hadn't bought it, and since it completed a $25 free shipping order, I won't hassle with the return. I'll just end up putting it in a drawer for emergencies and will replace it next week with a better one. You get what you pay for.

I bought this mouse to replace an IBM optical mouse I used with an older Dell desktop. This Microsoft mouse is built well,comfortable to use and performs well. I went for a Microsoft mouse because I already own two of them (white color though) and I have never had any problems with them, unlike GE or IBM mice I owned.
