Microsoft is best known for its Windows operating system and Office series of software, but around 2001, Microsoft was also one of the leading brands of peripherals, and was known as the "Peripheral Big Three" along with Logitech and Razer at that time.

 

As a giant in the technology industry, Microsoft office peripherals have always had a good evaluation, its IE 3.0 may be one of the most classic products in the history of the mouse, on the market for 16 years, after several reproductions, known as "the undefeated myth in the peripheral circle", it is still enthusiastically sought after by many users, and it has become the mouse with the highest fraud rate on the market, there is no one.

 

However, due to a series of subsequent mistakes, Microsoft failed in the field of gaming mice one after another, and completely withdrew from the field of gaming mice in 2012, and the focus of product research and development shifted to business peripherals and entry-level wired/wireless peripheral products. However, the business peripherals market is far less concerned than gaming peripherals, and its position as the "Peripheral Big Three" has gradually been replaced by SteelSeries.

 

Even so, Microsoft still has a lot of weight in the field of keyboard and mouse, and there are very few who can compete with Microsoft in terms of design and innovation. Many of Microsoft's products are "out of the ordinary" in terms of appearance and functional design, whether it is the strategic commander in the early years, or the Thunder Shark 6000, Arc, etc., Microsoft has never lacked creativity, and the Arc Touch wireless mouse has also won the Industrial Designers Society of America Gold Award (IDSA).

 

In terms of specific product line divisions, Microsoft and Logitech are two completely different types. Logitech takes a large and complete route, whether it is a game mouse or an office mouse is a high, medium and low-end comprehensive coverage, Microsoft focuses on the business office field, the number of products is not much, most of the product prices are above 150 yuan, less than 100 yuan, the overall middle and high-end.

 

In terms of naming, Microsoft does not have a complete system like Logitech, and is more inclined to functional description. Its highest positioning is the Surface precision office flagship mouse, with "precision" as the selling point, mainly for business people and design people, the price is close to 800 yuan, and the sub-flagship Arc Touch focuses on business portability, priced at about 700 yuan. In addition, Microsoft also has the Sculpt series, which focuses on ergonomics, which looks very different from traditional mice, and the price is about 300 yuan. The Blue Shadow series has one of Microsoft's few wired mice (some products are wireless), which uses Microsoft's unique Blue Shadow positioning technology, which is slightly lower than the Sculpt series. The products named purely are Microsoft's lowest-end series, and the price is under 100 yuan, such as the Microsoft 1850, which is relatively small and can be used for notebooks.

 

When it comes to Microsoft mouse, IE3.0 is a classic model that cannot be bypassed, and the original IE 3.0 still makes many players remember it with its excellent performance in CS games that year. And IE3.0 Blue Shadow Enhanced Edition as IE3.0 remastered version,It can be called a work of feelings。 However, in today's endless emergence of professional e-sports mice, IE 3.0 Blue Shadow Enhanced Edition is no longer suitable for playing games, and it is impossible to have the market position of the first generation IE3.0, its price of 279 yuan is not low in office mice, and it is even more regrettable that the official warranty of this mouse is only three months.

 

The precision mouse is the flagship mouse for business and design people, and it can be seen from the name that this mouse positioning is "accurate". There are three custom function buttons on its left side,The volume is smaller than Logitech MX Master,Both men and women can use it more conveniently,The back arch is larger,It is more suitable for users who are used to the mouse grip posture,Connect through Bluetooth,Adapt to up to 3 devices,And you can freely switch to connect devices through the bottom button,The price is close to 800 yuan,Higher than Logitech's flagship。

 

Users with portable needs can choose Bluetooth mouse Surface Arc, Surface Arc adopts a folding design, no physical buttons, mainly operated through the touchpad, the appearance is very simple, it is flat after folding, it is very convenient to store and carry, and the bottom can be turned into a standard mouse with a hollow bottom when used. However, its touchpad part is easy to get dusty,And the performance can only meet the basic operation,Not suitable for games,The price is as high as 699element。
