Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:
Sideways scroll is pretty slowRequires you to go online to download software, No CD was provided
Pros: ReliableHas an extra 4th button4-way scroll Comment:
Bought this for my sister as the mouse that came with the computer broke. This mouse seems very reliable and has not encountered any difficulties after 2 months of use (of course, expecting it to last much longer). This mouse seems to be overpriced however, as for the 4 way scroll isn't really very useful and for $30, there are much better that can be bought. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:single thumb button, mouse wheel
Pros:Price, comfort Comment:
For the price, its hard to beat this mouse. It fits comfortably in large or small hands and just works. It only has 1 thumb button (so back-only, no forward), and the mouse wheel is 100% smooth, so you don't get any feedback (a lot of mice are like this now though). |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:The cable might be a bit too long for some people, especially laptop users but this is a very minor inconvenience since more is usually better then less.
Pros:Nice ambidexterous feel. The size of it is good for people with big hands. Comment:
A good cheap basic mouse. The multifunction side button helps especially with the zoom feature reading find print. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:The scroll wheel is disgusting, a little light on the weight dep't.
Pros:It works. Comment:
I can't stand the scroll wheel on this, it honestly makes me sick, I can't tell if I'm actually scrolling anything - there is no feedback - literally none! I can't even tell by any sort of ridges, and the wheel is kind of mushy.. Gross! It glides along fine and works with Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy), but it's also a little light in weight for my tastes. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:Scroll wheel does not have detents.Back button but no forward.
Pros:Nice looking with black/silver keyboards and monitors.4-way scrolling is a nice feature. Comment:
Overall, a decent mouse both visually and performance wise. I wanted to get the 4 way scrolling but found I haven't used it much - probably because I keep forgetting it's there! Only two issues are that the scroll wheel does not have detents - this takes a little bit to get used to but having it for 2 weeks, I think I would pick this type over the older style detents (again, just needs getting used to). The issue I can't get past is there is a "back" button on the left side of the mouse but no forward button on the right side. After using that button for years on my previous mouse, I miss it :( |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:-I don't like the scroll sensation
Pros:-confortable-sharp-cheap Comment:
It is a good desktop mouse for office. I wouldn't recommend it for gamers. It does everything you want from a mouse and is confortable. Would buy it if my budget is low for a mouse. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:Scroll wheel doesn't click well
Pros:ComfortableGreat softwareScroll wheel is silent Comment:
The uses for the magnification are limited, but it is nice to have when it is needed. The software allows for disabling and remapping of the side button, so for those who don't need magnification for anything, they can use the button for other things.I received this as a gift, but if it ever dies, I will gladly buy it to replace this one. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:Scroll/tilt wheel.Lacks right side button.Magnification mostly useless.
Pros:Great accuracy.Comfortable. Comment:
The mouse is alright. I bought it to replace my old Microsoft Intellimouse 1.0a.The mouse is very comfortable to hold in the hand and performs accurately and smoothly for gaming.I found the magnification feature mostly useless. Fortunately the software is quite good and I was able to change it to work as a back button for web-browsing or as a 4th mouse button for gaming.The scroll wheel is the mouse's real weakness. It tilts to the side to allow horizontal scrolling. I don't use this feature very much and it comes with a trade-off: the scroll wheel button is very difficult to click. This makes it a poor mouse for Firefox (middle-clicking to open new tabs) and also a poor choice for games like Half-Life 2 with the scroll and click weapon select.The mouse lacks a button on the right side unlike previous Microsoft Mice. This is only a minor weakness though since the extra button really wasn't all that useful.Overall this is a great mouse for productivity and content creation. It is a mediocre choice for gaming, however. |

Pros:Somewhat oversized so very comfortable to handleHigh resoloution (1000 dpi) making it very responsiveZoom-in buttonFour way scrollingVery responsive scrolling Comment:
Great mouse for the price. Very comfortable to use for long periods. Great shape for gaming. The only draw back that I find is that the wheel mouse does not click well and feels overly big under my finger. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:the scroll wheel mouse click is a bit hard to catch
Pros:great feelnice left and right clicksvery convenient 4th button on the side of the thumbcan work for both left and right handslooks nicecan do left and right mouse scroll Comment:
I got this free when I purchased the comfort curve 2000 keyboard. I loved the keyboard, and obviously wanted to try the mouse that's made for that keyboard. Mouse feels great, and I love the feel of the click!Has great control and convenient magnefying button to view things that are too small. Very nice design for the left and right scrolls.The only bad thing is that due to the left and right scrolls, the scroll wheel click is harder to catch.But otherwise, everything's great ^^ |

I got this mouse free in a bundle, it's designed for both right handed and left handed users. The only complaint i have is that i would've liked an extra button so that i could program it with the back function. |

Microsoft Silver Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
Cons:- None
Pros:- Good Response- Good Feel- Good for FPS games I play, such as HL based mods Comment:
Not much to say about this mouse. You are getting what you pay for. Its a great mouse for the price, and feels like you'r using something higher end. The four way scrolling is nice and more enjoyable over standard mouses (with only up and down scrolling). You get a free mouse pad (which is decent), so you're all set! |
For the most part, I'm getting used to the stiff scroll button and scrolling wheel. However, I find it doesn't respond great on black tables. At times, the pointer will just stop for a bit. When I put a white piece of paper underneath, it never does that.
