Not Compatible with Windows 7 without downloading software, September 1, 2011

This review is from: Microsoft 5BA-00001 Explorer Mini Mouse - Wireless BlueTrack Technology PC/Mac Compatible USB Receiver (Electronics)

I had written a review saying this mouse doesn't work with Windows 7- but it turns out it does. Whew. The tricky part is finding the right software. The software CD included with the mouse will tell you it isn't compatible with your version of Windows, and will redirect you to an utterly unhelpful Microsoft site that basically says you are out of luck. However, after looking at other mouse reviews, I noted someone mentioned needing to download Intellipoint software for Windows 7. So I did a Google search, found a download from a microsoft website, and everything seems to be in order now. So 4 stars for the product- works nicely so far, comfortable, etc.- and minus 1 star for the hassle of getting it to work.

I bought this to go with my laptop. It's bigger than I thought it would be. More like a regular mouse size. Works great and comes with a nice case, just expected something a little more compact.

My only knock on this product is that it is a little larger than I prefer.

other than that, the price and the performance are very good. I am well pleased with this product, though I had to get used to the Forward/Back buttons on the side. My wife laughed her head off at me because I was getting frustrated trying to figure out why my oages kept flipping. When I realized I was pressing those buttons, I laughed, too.
