Title: Is this Microsoft's idea of a joke?
Product review: I bought this mouse to use with my laptop, which only has one PS/2 port, and I'm using that for an external keyboard. So I needed a USB mouse, and figured that Microsoft's optical mouse would be a good choice. Wrong! Windows 98 had no trouble recognizing the hardware, and the software installed fine, but with the correct driver installed, the mouse's movement was totally erratic. Just to be clear, I already have a Logitech cordless optical mouse on my desktop PC, so this was not a question of getting used to an optical mouse. The Microsoft mouse simply refused to work properly, on all types of surfaces. After 20 minutes of trying very hard to adjust the speed and get the thing to go where I wanted it to go, I gave up. I should have paid attention to the reviewers here who warned about the poor quality of this product. I'm returning it to Best Buy tomorrow.
