- It really does deliver on its promises
Read the product description. It promises that its extremely comfortable and very precise on all surfaces.

Microsoft dont break any promises here!
Its a brilliant product that has solved the hand problems i used to have with using the computer mouse.

Highly recommend you get this.

- Not for everyone!
This mouse had got many 5/4 star reviews so I didn't think I could go wrong. Unfortunately it doesn't suit me at all - and you may find the same so give the simple matter of what you like in a mouse some thought - after all it's still a very important part of interfacing with your computer and you may use it for many hours every day.

You can read why other people like this mouse in their reviews. So let me tell you why I don't like it:

1. It feels cheap. I know plastic rules in the world of computers but I'd at least like the bit I spend a lot of time actually touching to feel like a quality product. This certainly doesn't - it's made of thin uninspiring plastic very much on the tacky side.

2. It's ... Read More:

- Unimpressed - Overengineered and underperforming
Not very keen on this at all. The wheel feels like it's made out of PTFE and without any clicking when it rotates, you can't tell whether the wheel is turning or your finger is just sliding over it. This just seems plain odd to me - surely a criterion for hand controls is that there's some feedback so you know when you've done something? (- isn't that why mice buttons click when you press them?)
The magnifier thing didn't seem to work.
Can't see myself using the left or right scrolls since it's quite awkward to push to the side, particularly to the right.
The speeds are way out, so you need to fiddle with these and I can't seem to get a nice pointer motion speed out of it that matches the logitech mouse on my other PC ... Read More:

- Overall, just what I was hoping for...
Very comfortable and very precise. I was using a cheap-o optical mouse which I bought from a supermarket at around the same price and I can not believe the difference! I have only just received it but I have just tested it with FPS games and there is an astounding difference.
The wheel does feel a little odd, its doesn't click like all the others I've used and it is a little slow. Although I have changed the roll speed on windows and I suppose I will get used to the feeling in no time. I can't be bothered to install the software it comes with to customize the 4 buttons yet so the one on the side has no use, but I could if I wanted to.
Overall, it feels great and hopefully it will cut down on my RSI. It certainly feels a hell of a ... Read More:

- Comfortable, optical, a mouse and made by Microsoft.
I've been using this mouse for about a year now, and I have to say, it is indeed very comfortable.
The smooth scroll wheel is much more to my liking than clicky ones, and unlike other users, I haven't had any problems with clicking it down. On the other hand, the tilt funtion is pretty terrible, getting stuck when I push left, and barely doing anything when going right. On the other hand, since I find the tilt function fairly useless when it's working, I'm not really bothered.
The side "magnify" button is very useful, but I prefer to use it as a middle click button and the thought of using a mouse where I have to move a finger to middle click is truly horrifying.

Overall, this does what it should do. It's comfortable ... Read More:
