Ge Wireless Optical Mouse (HO97990)

Despite the claim that this mouse provides 800 dpi for greater movement resolution than other wireless optical mice, it was pretty choppy for me. Moving the receiver away from my DSL modem/router gave a little improvement, however it still was hit or miss on whether the cursor would move when the mouse was moved. The ergonomics were okay, however I returned it and got a Microsoft optical wireless mouse and it feels much much better. The GE mouse worked better on a mousepad than on my desktop, however the Microsoft mouse works on any surface, even a perfectly mono-chromatic glossy surface. Even though the MS mouse I got isn't technically compatible with Windows ME, which I'm using (that just means you can't install the software for battery life tracking), I'd still recommend paying the extra few bucks and getting the Microsoft mouse. Perhaps a Logitech would work nice too, but Target had the MS's on sale...
