5 out of 5 stars Microsoft Wireless USB Mouse   September 4, 2008
Paul Gottesman (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I am very satisfied with this purchase. It is a very practical mouse to use mainly with laptops. The purchase price was excellent with free shipping. The product arrived in good condition and on-time.


3 out of 5 stars Works well with Vista and recommended for ambidextrous people like me   August 31, 2008
Dawn Chambray (Michigan, United States)
My only issue is that sometimes during use it has to be resynched. I could be typing or surfing the net and all of a sudden it starts blinking. Other than that it's very portable and fits in the laptop case. I like the ease of use in either hand. Recommended for all portable use.


4 out of 5 stars Muy comodo y pequeno...pero...   August 30, 2008

El mouse es excelente para lo que me costo (20$ en oferta)...y la bateria me ha durado desde que lo compre y es solo 1 bateria AA...el unico detalle que le veo es que al poner el adaptador usb por debajo del mouse...este sobresale un poco del mouse entonces cuando pones el mouse con la cara del laser a la mesa queda como levantado :S:..pero de resto es excelente :D

saludos!!



1 out of 5 stars Buy a Logitech   August 27, 2008
A. J. Murphy (Albuquerque, NM United States)
I thought I'd give Microsoft a chance with the notebook mouse as a change from the Logitech I use on my personal laptop. I have had this mouse less then a year and the scroll wheel has gone bad. The scroll wheel intermittently goes out and there is no longer that distinguishable "bite" when turning... then the bite comes back and it works again.

The scroll wheel was just the last straw. Firstly, battery life is terrible. I would say between 3 to 4 months tops. It only uses a single AA battery compared to the Logitech's 2 AA. As a result the Logitech 4 times longer.

Secondly, the mouse is very unresponsive at times. I don't know if it has a sleep mode or goes into power save mode, but it doesn't track well at times and is sluggish then "wakes up". No problem on my other mouse.

I can't in good faith recommend this mouse to anyone. Go with the Logitech.



5 out of 5 stars Does the job.   August 27, 2008

I purchased this item for my wife. I used it a bit after setting it up and I'm impressed with the feel of it. The build quality is nice, the buttons and wheel work and feel great. The size, weight and shape of the mouse is very good. The price was right.
