Adds significantly to computing experience!
By JanSobieski
My old Microsoft mouse was acting up terribly with the cursor skipping around randomly and generally creating quite a bit of difficulty for me in navigating through any document. I did the troubleshooting thing, uninstalled and reinstalled the software and still couldn't get rid of the problem.It was one of those things that crept up on me slowly and sort of insidiously got worse. Finally, after about a year of this nonsense, I decided to buy a new mouse.First of all, the ergonomics of the IntelliMouse Explorer are fantastic. All the buttons exactly where you'd expect them with not too many extraneous buttons and not too few. The tilt roller wheel is a wonderful innovation allowing you to scroll up and down and right and left. You can easily reach the browser back and browser forward buttons with your thumb, also adding to the overall browsing experience.IMHO, this is an absolutely great bargain. It works flawlessly without ANY anoying malfunctions. Honestly, it has made browsing and working on the internet as well as working on any document a very efficient experience coordinating seamlessly with any and all programs.I would buy this mouse at two to three times the price. It just works that well. You won't be disappointed.

Wheel Button too stiff
By Hey Man
I love the mouse, but the wheel button is way too stiff and you have to push extra hard on it which makes it move side ways and activate the scroll. Otherwise I like it. Will probably take it back and get one without a non side-to-side scroll.

By wordnrrrd
When I tried to install the included software prior to using the Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer with my HP notebook, I got an error message that I would have to uninstall my Synaptics Touchpad software. Figuring that would render my touchpad useless while on the road, I skipped this step and instead installed the batteries into the mouse and plugged the receiver into my USB port. Much to my surprise, Windows XP recognized the mouse and I was able to use it immediately...even without the support software installed. I realize I may not be able to reprogram the buttons nor will I be able to use the low-battery indicator, but these are minor setbacks considering this mouse works great. It runs very smooth, reception is excellent and the scroll wheel -- which some people criticize because it doesn't click -- was easy to adjust to. In fact, while the scroll wheel itself doesn't click as you turn it, pages on the screen still "click" up and down in the same increments as with a click wheel. Definitely a great hardware addition as I strive to go wireless.***UPDATE: April 4, 2006: 1.5 years later and I'm still using this mouse, and still with no complaints. In fact, I bought a second one for work. Battery life is at least 6 months, maybe longer. Great purchase.
