Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical (IMO) is a family of optical mice in the Microsoft IntelliMouse series.

Notes

• Sold in both black and white, the white variety is availably singly, while the less common black variety can only be bought in packs. Version 1.0 used an older sensor; black 1.0 mice come in packs of three, while the black revised 1.1 version with newer sensor is sold in packs of five.
• The IMO is unusual in being an ambidextrous five-button mouse, with buttons four and five placed on either side; five-button mice (including the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer) typically have both buttons 4 and 5 on the left-hand side under the thumb, in a configuration designed for right-handed people. The later Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 follows this same design.
