Unlike ordinary mouse design using the ball, Microsoft uses the new Intellieye optical technology, which is like a little camera taking screenshots 1500 times every second. Not only that, because of the "no-ballz" technology, it has reduced drag and thus made the mouse very smooth. Specs USB or PS/2 compatible, also PC and Mac compatible. 1500dpi per second Microsoft Intellieye Optical Technology (a.k.a. no-ballz technology) Total of 5 buttons, left button, right button, wheel button, forward button, and backward button.
