Basic corded mouse

Inexpensive, simple to use, solid construction quality, left- or right-handed use

Low sensitivity, no extra features, pedestrian design

Not working well after a year

I did throw it in my backpack a lot so maybe it's my fault, but I had a previous version of this mouse that lasted 6 years before the buttons gave out, and I bought it from biglots

it works like a mouse should ; it worked fine for a year

right mouse button became flaky after a year, rendering it useless to me

Need a new one!

Love this mouse... I've tested various regular and gaming mice (mx510, mx518, g5 and g500) and I continuously go back to the simplicity of the microsoft WMO. I would purchase an intellimouse 1.1 but those are impossible to find. I need a new one!...

None... this mouse is amazing, reliable, and will last you forever. I've used mine for 10+ years now

Running like new for 10+ years

Most reliable mouse out there, was one of the first optical mice, and still one of the best.

I have used this mouse from Delta Force Land Warrior to BF3, and havent noticed any difference, gives my logitech m510 a run for its money ; Cheap, buy 3 for 30 years

not free ; isnt laser (its so good it doesnt need to be) ; no macros ( I play FPS games, I dont sit for 12hours a day playing WoW)
