Belkin Optical USB/PS2 Mouse

RRP:AU$39.95 Belkin USB/PS2 Mouse

The Good: The cheapest optical mouse in our roundup, but otherwise a very standard optical mouse. The PS2/USB part is managed the same way that every other vendor tends to do it; via a USB to PS2 converter dongle. On most operating systems, it should be driverless. Shaped for a similar experience no matter what hand you use.

The Bad: The bland shape could be poor for some hands, especially for extended use. It's also extremely light, which some users might find annoying. As it's essentially driverless, you're not looking at lots of configuration options the way you might with a more expensive mouse.

The Verdict: A decent mouse for the money, but don't expect miracles.
