One of the presents I got for Christmas is a Microsoft Standard Wireless Mouse. Before receiving this mouse, the only experience I've had with a wireless mouse is my Wireless Intellimouse Explorer, which is a few years old. My Intellimouse didn't seem to be very accurate, and it would lag a bit if you stopped moving it for a few seconds. Because of these issues, I had been using my basic Logitech optical mouse.

The Standard Wireless Optical Mouse comes with a receiver which plugs into a USB port, and 2 AA batteries. It's supposed to get about 6 months of battery life. That would be nice. It also can operate on only 1 battery. It comes in black or white, mine is black.

When I got home on Christmas day, one of the first things I did was plug in my new mouse. I was suprised that it moved so much more smoothly than my Intellimouse. I guess a few years of technological advancement will do that. It also doesn't lag at all after it has gone into power saving mode. Overall I like my new mouse, it works well.
