Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse By derwood on Sep 26, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I've been using this mouse everyday at work for the past couple of years, and I have no complaints at all.

The size and shape of this mouse is very well suited to my hand, and the layout of the buttons makes them very convenient for my fingers to reach. Speaking of buttons, this mouse has four of them, in addition to a"clickable" scroll wheel. Besides the standard left and right mouse buttons, this mouse also has two additional buttons located on the left and right sides of the mouse. By default these additional buttons are configured to replicate the "back" and "forward" commands in a web browser, and I find them to be very useful.

The mouse has worked well for me on a wide variety of surfaces, and the long cord makes it easy for me to find a comfortable location on my desk.

I know there are more advanced mice available on the market, but if you are looking for a simple mouse that feels good in your hand, works well, and will stand the test of time, this may be a good one to consider.
