Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Customer Review: Excellent Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is great. I've used it with my Macbook Pro every single day for over a year now and I have zero complaints. The fact that it's bluetooth is huge --- my computer only has 2 USB ports so I'd hate to waste one on a mouse connection.
When I first picked this up I was a little frustrated by it's lack of both a back and a forward button (it only has a back), but I picked up SteerMouse for mac and that complaint is gone. SteerMouse allows you to configure any button on the mouse to perform any function and you can change up what each button does according to which application you're using. I've got firefox configured to use the back button to go back and the center scroll-wheel button to go forward (scrolling scrolls, pressing down advances). Works like a champ. This mouse with that app is a great combination.
This might be the best mouse I've personally ever bought. Mac fanboys take note: Microsoft does make decent products ... Even ones that work well with Macs.
Customer Review: Fantastic! ...But Lacks Programable Buttons and Tilt-Wheel
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Bluetooth notebook mouse, I'd call this mouse nearly flawless. I use mine every day for my work laptop, and have been very happy.
The Bluetooth functionality frees up the USB port that other wireless mice require, the compact size, while portable, feels comfortable in your hand, the rechargeable batteries I use tend to last about a month, and it even comes with a felt/velcro carrying pouch for when you travel!
The only drawbacks are that the side button isn't programmable and the mouse lacks the bells and whistles of other mice. For instance, if you spend about $25 more you can get Microsoft's premier notebook mouse, the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, which includes a tilt-wheel, laser pointer and media/slide show buttons.
All in all, the Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is an excellent offering and highly recommended!
Customer Review: JUST WHAT I WANTED
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just what I wanted. A Bluetooth Mouse to use with my Vista HP dv2500 bluetooth integrated notebook. It DOES NOT use a USB receiver, and it runs on two AAA batteries (included). Typical Microsoft hardware quality (very good). It took 30 seconds to set up, and all I have to do to use it each time I fire up my notebook is have it turned on. It's very accurate, comfortable (for being tiny), and has an extra back button on the left side that works with your browser. It is very small, I do wish it were bigger.. but it will travel easy. Has a battery indicator on the top that only lights up when alterting you to low charge. I'm also going to submit my own photos. They don't provide any instructions telling you about the mouse itself, only a setup foldout and those stupid "don't take a bath with it or stare into the laser" legal safeguard brochures... I assume I should shut if off via the switch on bottom when done, can't remember if it autoshuts off or not.Customer Review: Mac Book Users, Pay Attention!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am on a Mac Book Pro with a mirrored 23 inch Mac Display. Since hooking up the display, my mouse has been buggy. At first, I thought this was some sort of interference or delay due to mirroring, but the problem persisted.
My otherwise reliable Logitech Bluetooth mouse would lag badly and lose connection daily, so I finally had to do something.
So I went out and bought a Mighty Mouse - doh! HUGE error. Apple is in denial about how much that mouse sucks. Terrible.
Thus, back to amazon and reading reviews...finally, discovered this mouse and read reviews and CAUTIOUSLY ordered one....
In short, best mouse I have ever purchased, bar none.
Speed, tracking, comfort, ease-of-use, all exceptional.
If you're one of those die-hard Mac users who won't buy a Microsoft product, grow up. No drivers, mouse was perfect out of the box.
Legitimate 5 stars.
Customer Review: Feels like a full size mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second time I buy this mouse. I had to buy it twice because the first one was lost along with my backpack by a local airline company.
When I first thought about buying a mouse for my laptop (Thinkpad T60) I was very concerned because I do have big hands and I don't like those mouses that you use with just your fingers. I like to rest the palm of my hand on the body of the mouse. Even though this one is small enough to fit in your backpack without cluttering it too much, it also has a nice ergonomic shape which makes you feel like it is a real full size mouse.
Very ergonomic, nice precision (due to the use of laser), and it does endure a lot of work with a simple pair of batteries. Works with MacBook Pro as well.
It never gave me headaches concerning pairing or interference. Also, it is very nice not needing those USB dongs because my laptop already have bluetooth (Thinkpad T60).
