Very Bad Mouse [Posted on 2008-03-03]
I bought this mouse one month ago from local Staples. But I should say this mouse is one of the worst mouse I've ever used.
It can only work awkwardly in the table with a mouse pad. It can not be used in my bed at all (whereas my Logiteck V450 works perfect).
As for the mouse itself, it has a strong plastic feeling that will let you feel like holding a toy.
I will not recommend this mouse to anybody. I am going to see if I still can return this mouse to MS.
Good basic mouse [Posted on 2008-03-23]
Good desktop mouse. I prefer a larger mouse where the mouse fits the palm and supports the hand. I use it with a wrist rest which is a must.
Smaller mice have caused wrist pain for me.
Movement is very good. Don't use the magnification or smaller left side buttons because they are awkward to reach. Finger Force to click the buttons are prefect - not too light or hard to press.
Scroll plus tilt wheel is very responsive and smooth - none of the ratcheting feeling. The tilt for side scrolling is a plus. People who have used it have commented they like the scroll wheel which I would agree.
The wireless receiver is corded dongle with the receiver almost the same size as the mouse; This is not a mouse for laptop users who wish to carry around fewer "things". Range on the receiver is not very good - it has to be very close to the mouse.
I have used this mouse for 2 years and it is still working well. Batteries last a long time - 2 AAs.
I just bought the highly rated Logitech MX Revolution thinking it would improve my input with a mouse. It is a nice mouse with many features but doesn't support my palm as well and is not as comfortable; I will probably use it at home instead of at work.
OK Mouse [Posted on 2008-03-30]
I got this mouse today and have been using it for awhile. I didn't much care at first for the way the receiver is attached to a cord, but I think this feature will come in handy in the long run. I can attach it to a back port and then put it anywhere I need to. This frees up the side port. I agree with pretty much everyone else, the side buttons are useless. I just disabled them. So far I haven't had any problems with erroneous messages (keeping fingers crossed). Someone else mentioned theirs came with Intellipoint 5.5 software, but mine has 6.1. Hopefully they have upgraded and eliminated some of the bugs. All in all I like it, but for the money it could be better.
Fantastic! [Posted on 2008-04-20]
I had to replace my old mouse and could not find a Logitech that I liked. I have to say I am very impressed with Microsoft's Laser 5000. It is comfortable and has a quiet scroller. I didn't care for the magnifier so I just disabled the feature. It is nice that you can choose what each button does. It works well and is simple to install.
Average wireless mouse, could do better... [Posted on 2008-04-29]
I use this at work. While it is comfortable to use all day, the feedback of the middle button is a bit spongy and when pressed, is not always registered by the computer. For someone who heavily uses the middle button, this gets annoying (As I have to go back and click on links I thought were already open). If I was in the market for a cheap wireless mouse now, I think I would go with a Logitech mouse.
