Review on ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Optical Mouse 3000 - Milk Chocolate by Microsoft - Enhance your Wireless Notebook Experience by Kirk Womack

Great little mouse - Computers and accessories

I've had several optical mice in the past, some wired and some wireless. I've owned them in multiple sizes, from full size ergonomic models to micro models. This is my favorite of all. First, it's the right size. I am male and micro mice are so small that it is difficult for me to work with them. But I'm also a teacher and need a smaller portable mouse. This one fits my hand very well. Second, the function is very accurate. What I mean is that the pointer doesn't slow down or lag. Some optical mice don't immediately notice the slightest movement. Third, they have a very cool feature. The USB stick fits snugly on the underside of the mouse. If I throw the mouse in my bag, I don't have to worry about losing the USB stick. Putting the key in the mouse will also turn off the mouse. Pretty smart because you waste less battery life compared to the ones you have to turn off manually. Finally, this mouse is really well built. Some of the mice I've had were made out of cheap looking plastic and didn't seem to be very durable. This is made of thicker plastic. The black part on the sides is actually a rubber material that cushions the thumb. The scroll wheel is also made of an opaque rubber material. All in all, this is a really comfortable mouse. I can't comment on the battery life as I haven't had mine long enough. I bought the green one from Revain for about $11. If you can find it for less than $20, go for it. It puts some models that cost three times as much to shame.

Pros
