Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)like the title says, this mouse is a great value, sitting between the intellimouse explorer and intellimouse wheel. it fits my hand perfectly too, as it is not as big at the explorer.
fuctionwise, the tracking is unparalleled--the new intellieye scanning at 6,000 times per second makes the mouse virtually skip-free, unlike older optical mice. the 5 fully programmable buttons are awesome too. the inteiipoint software allows you to assign different functions to different buttons, in different programs! i even have a button that saves my document in microsoft word! it's really a brilliant invention.
my only gripe about this mouse is its weight. it is on the light side, and i hear the hollow cluck every time i pick it up when i'm playing a game. i've grown used to it by now, but it took a couple of weeks.
in short, i believe this is the perfect mouse for me. its optical eye works great, the buttons are ingenious, and the low price at amazon.com (...) make this mouse the best bang for your buck!

Targus AMW43US Wireless Mouse for Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really, REALLY wanted to love this mouse. I purchased it because my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse was having dirty ball issues. (That sounds bad, doesn't it.) Before I received the Targus, I read a blog post online that detailed how to disassemble and clean the scroll ball mechanism in the Mighty Mouse. I performed the procedure and all was well in scrolling up AND down land again.
When I received the Targus, I opened it up and plopped batteries in it quickly. It has a nice feature where the USB transmitter actually stows away inside the mouse.
The mouse immediately was recognized in OS X. My first impressions were that the tracking is way fast. I remedied this by adjusting the tracking speed all the way down using the Mouse preference pane in System Preferences.
Something, however, seemed off. I've been an Apple user for 3 years and have gotten used to how Apple mice track. They allow you to move the mouse slowly for super-precise mousing and then also allow you to quickly move the mouse to other areas of the screen. The problem with the Targus is that it lacks this same tracking acceleration curve. I found myself constantly overshooting where I wanted to place my cursor or mouse pointer. I tried a number of different software packages found online to attempt to remedy this and none of them worked.
I believe the key to fixing this issue is in Targus' hands. They need to write a mouse driver that allows either the default tracking (likely somethign Windows users would like) or tracking that mimics the Apple Mouse tracking as closely as possible.
If Targus can pull off Apple Mouse Tracking emulation, I would pull it back out of my storage drawer and put away my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse for good. Until then, I'll just keep disassembling my Mighty Mouse every month to clean the scroll ball rollers.
