The scroll wheel is the kind that scrolls smoothly, there are no notches or steps that make it 'click'. The mouse is mostly silver/gray with a black, slightly rubberize thumbrest area and a black bottom. It feels a little lighter than the Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth that I typically use, but the actual weight difference is not that much. Build quality is decent for a mouse in this price category. When I enabled the magnifier, it would make my screen flicker in ways that weren’t too pleasant.Īs I mentioned before, this mouse is not a compact model – it’s an ergonomically shaped mouse that essentially fills up your entire hand (if you’re of average size). The magnifier feature may be handy for looking at fine text, but not for much else.
When you do this, a rectangle pane appears that magnifies the view on the screen. Also by default, the 'magnifier' feature gets activated by the front button on the left side of the mouse. You can choose to install the Microsoft IntelliPoint software, or you can just plug it in.īy default, the scroll wheel button activates the Vista Flip 3D interface so you can scroll through your open windows. The mouse will work on Windows Vista or XP and Mac OS X v10.2-10.5. The mouse can continue tracking at speeds up to 36 inches per second.
The imaging rate of the laser is 'dynamically adaptable to 6000 frames per second', and it has an X/Y resolution of 1000 points per inch.
