Review on Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse P58 00061 by Ada Holf ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

Model version v2.0. For the office - a solid mouse. According to reviews - it serves for several years without breakdowns. But the quality of the production of models can change over time. For comparison - office Genius Traveler 100 (~ the same $15). It has better plastic and a more comfortable design. 1200 dpi. Only the wheel is made worse. Worked for more than 10 years without serious problems, daily, used a lot for games and fell off the table more than once.

Pros
  • - The size is not reduced. More than 11 cm in length. - Not heavy. Without wire - ~55 g. - It glides well. "Paws" of the normal size. - Not bad, - not noisy and rubberized scroll. - Classic design, the lack of illumination that must be turned off (if possible), there are no extra buttons that can be touched during use. - There are no rubber pads that are wiped. - The wheel without the support of side clicks - these are more convenient. - The LED does not shine through the sides and cracks when viewed from the side. There are no scratching edges or burrs, no creaking when compressed, no bending of the plastic on the sides. - USB->PS / 2 adapter in the OEM version. Filter on USB cable.
Cons
  • - Tough buttons. I compare with some "office" mice close at the price. Significantly where they are often pressed as in games. - Narrow buttons. The mouse is not wide (~ 55 mm), and even on the sides there are glossy pads 3-4 mm wide. More significant where both buttons are frequently used. - Unlike the previous version of the model, the current 2.0 has glossy side overlays, and they are wider than on some other mice. On the right side, a hand sticks to it - the mouse does not slide well over the palm when the cursor moves vertically. There is no such effect on matte surfaces and with ordinary non-shiny plastic. - Top plastic is soft and thin, cheap. In normal use, it is unlikely to be noticeable. When pressed hard on the button, it bends. - On a completely black model, the wheel is white. - 800 dpi (some sites indicate 1000 dpi) - not enough for FullHD and higher resolutions, which may require programmatically increase the cursor speed. Their "Comfort" model has 1000 dpi and is the most common resolution in today's mice.

The mouse was bought on the basis of trust in the manufacturer. In general, the impressions are positive, but the mentioned shortcomings are a little annoying
