Comments about Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse - PS/2 and USB (White):
I have used this mouse daily for almost a month. I use it for 6 - 10 hrs per day in a home office environment. I still use a mouse pad (located in my keyboard/mouse tray), but it seems to also work well on smooth surfaces. Can't imagine better response/accuracy from any mouse, regardless of price.

Comments about Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse - PS/2 and USB (White):
I have a mac book pro and I just don't like to use it without a mouse.
I've chosen this one because it optical, but doesn't need any battery and because it seemed comfortable, and had nice and discreet colors that go well with my computer and also because of the price.

Comments about Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse - PS/2 and USB (White):
Replacing a worn out old mouse for this price is great. Put it on a mac, so white was a good find. Minor complaint is that the buttons are loud and it's a bit hard in the hand.
