Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Digital camera Review: Bad design
Summary: 2 Stars
I needed a bluetooth mouse because my computer only has two usb ports. I really like the look of the mouse. It's a little small, but I can live with that. It is comfortable to use, however.
It connected to my computer very easily, and I haven't had to setup the connection again. My computer finds it, and it connects.
Now for the negatives. The back button, which I didn't even realize it had, gets pressed very easily. At first I thought it was something I pressed on the keyboard, but then I realized it was the mouse. The button is placed just next to your inner thumb, and even while I was actively trying not to press it, I pressed it. IT WILL PRESS THE BACK BUTTON ON YOUR BROWSER if you have big hands.
To fix this, I had to remove the button and physically cut of the plastic attached to it, which activates the mechanism in the mouse. I would not recommend doing this because then the button sinks in because there is nothing to support it.
Another problem I had with it is responsiveness. Previously, I had a wireless mouse which used visible light to work. This one uses a real, invisible laser. I thought this was very cool, until I realized it doesn't work too well. My old mouse worked without a mouse pad nearly anywhere, even on my couch. But I need a mouse pad for this one. This is really a personal complaint, because I know most people do use mouse pads everyday.
Also, the scroll wheel on the top of the mouse jams up a little when you pull it backwards (to scroll down the page.) It doesn't affect the scrolling, but is a little annoying. This is a minor complaint, but doesn't help this mouse's ratings.
I would not recommend this mouse, at least to people with big hands who don't use mouse pads. Otherwise you should be fine.
Digital camera Review: Battery Life is short, short, short!
Summary: 2 Stars
Most features of this Microsoft mouse are nice, but the battery life is so short that it has become pretty expensive to use. Even with turning off the mouse overnight and often during the day, the two AAA batteries last no more than 3 weeks.Digital camera Review: Best Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had a few wireless mouse before and i had alot of problems with interferences from other devices but the bluetooth technology this mouse offers works perfectly. easy setup and the mouse connects automatically when it is swithced onDigital camera Review: Best Mouse I Have Ever Used
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used a lot of mice over the time, all microsoft and logitech in brand, notebook, optical, laser, and old school ball style. This has to be my favorite mouse of all time. Its small enough for small hands, while comfortable enough for people with big hands like myself.
The only two downsides of the mouse is the lack of a forward button, that be used for other things. The last thing is it does not carry profiles, so you can't link it with two devices, ex laptop and desktop computers. It will forget the previous connection. (Solution buy a second like me!)
I am a hardcore gamer and the response time is excellent for fps style, along with regular games. When I say hardcore gamer, I mean 10+ hours a day on average, with more on the weekends. I have had the mouse for nearly 2 months and the batteries are still going.
Digital camera Review: Best alternative to the Mighty Mouse from Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
First, we all know Amazon= Great Service
And second the mouse is overall well built. It was very responsive, connected to my Mac almost instantly, was small enough to travel, shaped to fit in your hand very comfortably, and looks good.
All in all this is one of the greatest mouse as an alternaative to the mighty mouse.
