Microsoft Optical Mouse 200 for Business - White

This is just a solid inexpensive mouse. It's not to be a mouse for someone that spends 8 hours at a computer a day, or for an avid gamer. This is just a basic, you sit at your computer and check email, browse the net a little bit, get the job done kind of mouse. We actually have 2, one we use with our laptop for those times when a mouse is going to be faster or easier than the touchpad, and one on our in home server. Both see moderate use and have had no issues. It is light weight, which has it's pros and cons, and is smaller than the Microsoft mice of yore, but it's pretty standard to the average mouse size these days. It does have a very nice texture, it's not slippery at all. The buttons have a good feedback and feel stable, unlike some inexpensive mice that have buttons that can feel wobbly. The scroll wheel feels solid yet a little gummy when you spin it, though it feels accurate and has good feedback, I never feel unsure of what to expect from it. Generally at this price point most of the mice you can find aren't going to be nearly as good of quality as this one. If you want something inexpensive yet reliable and gets the job done, this is perfect.

Be warned. I could have given ONE star or FIVE. Here's why. I do LOVE Amazon, but although I ordered the mouse pictured, its not the one I received. The one I received was totally unsatisfactory, too slippery in my hand and, not comfortable in my hand. Super light weight. Too much so. Amazon happily accepted the return/refund. However, I did find the mouse pictured here on another website and bought it there. It is a terrific mouse. I can't testify about the wheel, don't use wheel functions. But the basic left and right clicks work just fine. Fits nicely in my average size female hand. Cord is almost 6 feet long for a good reach. I use it on a mouse pad and it tracks accurately. I actually have 2 of these. Bought one for my desktop and liked it so much I bought another for my laptop. Hate those touch pads. Yes, I'm old, my first PC didn't even have a mouse. Or Windows, for that matter. Don't know which mouse you will get if you order this item. So order at your own risk. Good luck.

This is a decent little mouse for the price, but there are a few things you might want to know before buying: It's extremely small. I have very small hands, even for a woman, and this mouse feels really small to me. It's by far the smallest desktop mouse I've ever owned. If you have large hands, this might not work for you. The buttons are only 100% responsive on the EDGES. I guess I have a habit of holding the mouse slightly offset, so that my pointer finger is closer to the center (maybe it's just my small hands?) - and the left button doesn't always work. I notice I'm getting a LOT of "empty" clicks, and I have to make an effort to spread my fingers apart to get the buttons to work. It's annoying and uncomfortable. This is an odd one - but also annoying - the cord is really stiff. It seems to get in the way of things on my desk, I guess because it isn't flexible enough to bend around coffee mugs & such. I've had both corded & wireless mice and have never had a preference before. Honestly, I've never even noticed the cords before. But this one doesn't bend well, which means it pushes back AGAINST the mouse. So I constantly feel the resistance against the mouse. It's just odd. And, as others have pointed out, it's really loud. The button clicks seem to echo and are loud enough to be heard over music. The center scroll wheel ALSO clicks with each turn. Usually the wheels are silent, but not this one. The GOOD thing about this mouse is that it's really responsive to movement. It makes detail work really easy. I do a lot with drawing programs and usually use a Wacom pen & tablet when I'm working with pictures, but this mouse is responsive enough that a lot of the time I don't even bother to switch to the pen. I don't play a lot of computer games, but I imagine this mouse would be responsive enough for gamers as well. Overall, you get what you pay for, and I think this one's cheap for a reason. It gets the job done, but it's never going to be employee of the year.

This is a fantastic office mouse. It's reliable and built like a rock -- I've spilled coffee on it, dropped it, sat on it, traveled all over the world with it crammed into my carryon; it just works no matter what. Very low power draw if you're using it with a laptop, so it won't drain your battery; you don't have to worry about losing your little bluebooth tab since it's wired. Inexpensive, indestructible, and just all around a great beater mouse to carry around. Moreover, it fits in my hand comfortably, and isn't too sensitive. This would NOT be a good mouse for graphic designers or any artist using their mice for high precision work, but for a consultant like myself (think Word/Excel/Email for hours a day) -- this is absolutely perfect.

Needing a mouse in a hurry, as my Kid had taken my last spare, I didn't really have time to go to a store & shop, so I just ordered a couple of these mice. The mouse is very functional, but I am accustomed to a more ergonomic mouse. Although I can use this one quite aptly, I am spoiled for the larger variety. But it does work, and works well.

Microsoft makes fantastic mice. I have a wired Microsoft mouse on each of my Linux workstations. As observed in other reviews, this mouse is small, which I like. Build quality is generally excellent, although the silkscreened Microsoft logo at the rear is beginning to rub off after a year of heavy use. I've heard it mentioned that there are counterfeit Microsoft peripherals, and because this mouse has no label on the bottom and is so inexpensive, I went looking for the USB VID and PID to see if they belonged to Microsoft. They do, as we'll see. This is the output from usb-devices on Linux (kernel 4.3.0): T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=045e ProdID=0797 Rev=02.00 S: Product=USB Optical Mouse C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=98mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid "USB Optical Mouse" isn't at all reassuring! However, when we look up Vendor ID 045e we find Microsoft Corp, and when we look up Product ID 0797 we find 'Optical Mouse 200', which matches exactly. So if it's counterfeit, it certainly has the correct USB VID and PID...

When I bought this mouse I was looking for a cheap USB mouse that I knew would last me a decent amount of time and would be comfortable. I've use Microsoft mice for years now, each one is still in perfect functioning order. Yet anytime I purchase a mouse from another retailer I have problems with it inevitably. This model fits comfortably in my hand, has no optical problems which allows for smooth mouse movement. The USB cable is plenty long enough for my purposes, about 3.5'-4' if I had to guess just looking at it. The best part about USB mice is that they just work, no batteries, no connection problems, just plug them in and start using them. In the end I got exactly what I was looking for, at a price that couldn't be beat.

I purchased 5 of these mice for the office. They are _very_ cheaply made. The mouse is extremely ilght and not full size. It's slightly larger than a notebook mouse but a lot smaller than a regular desktop mouse and the cord is extremly thin. It takes some time getting used to. Microsoft gets failing marks on this one. I would NOT recommend this product. The previous version of the Microsoft Business mouse was excellent. I had purchsed over 200 of them over the years for the office. My users want me to buy more of _those_ but I can't find them anymore since MS is getting into the bad habit of discontinuing their good products and replacing them with crap. C'mon MS, your better than this!

Buena presentación del producto, aunque la caja no deja ver el producto. Modelo bastante sencillo de Microsoft pero bueno. Tamaño del ratón medio, no es excesivamente grande.

This is a good basic mouse for a good price. I have found this one to work well on surfaces that gave me a lot of trouble with some other brand of cheap mice... no need for a mouse pad. I had bought another mouse and I couldn't use it on my desk surface with out a mouse pad, but this one works flawlessly without a mouse pad, so I am very happy with it.

En tiendas fisica y en linea, un mouse con estas caracteristicas generico cuesta mas de 200 pesos aqui lo encuentras por menos de 150 ademas de ser una marca reconocida como Microsoft. El mouse se siente bien al tacto y responde a la perfeccion, el unico pero que le podria encontrar es que da la impresion de ser algo fragil el cable pero, por este precio, no encontraras algo mejor.

Unit delivered on time, after the payment was released, if it delays or the matter is urgent please call these guys up an u can perhaps get the unit bit sooner, Unit does work better than other dell product and class 1 optical unit which is quiet smooth. no annoying clicky sound even after a months use. Matte finish is classy n perfectly stays on the palm :)

Amazing product from microsoft. I have been using it from the past few months its far better than the other brands of mouse I have used so far.
