Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Customer Review: Bluetooth Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bluetooth, of course, is a better solution than the older wireless technology. If your laptop is bluetooth-capable, then there is no dongle at all. If it is not, bluetooth dongles are about 1/5 the size of their wireless counterparts. This mouse has all the features of its wireless counterpart, and is even easier to turn off when not in use. The wireless version requires you to remove the dongle from the laptop and secure it in a slot on the bottom of the mouse in order to shut it down. The bluetooth version just has a little on-off switch on the bottom. I think battery life will be about the same as that of the wireless version, which is about 5 months in my experience. My only caution would be to those with large hands. This product is smaller than a standard mouse, and may be a little awkward for those with very large hands. Of course, a 30-second session at your local electronics store could answer that question.Customer Review: Excellent Bluetooth Mouse for Notebooks
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for the look, feel & function of a full size mouse without any special software to slow down your computer look no further... This mouse uses just 2 AAA batteries and lasts well over a month with moderate to heavy use.
The scroll wheel does not support the "tilt" feature to scroll left & right but aside from that shortcoming this is a very precise trouble free mouse.
NEVER have issues with pairing and pairs easily with multiple devices (obviously only working with one at a time).
LOVE IT
(two side notes - if you find your laptop bag getting heavy with accessories , consider the MoGo series mice which nest inside your laptop - they're better then you think - also, for a bluetooth adapter using USB do yourself a favor and check out IO Gear's Micro BT Adapter - another completely trouble free device which won't get broken off thanks to it's design)
Customer Review: Very ergonomic and sensitive(in a good way)
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
-Very responsive, needs very little room to function across the whole screen
-great for web surfing with the back button
-high sensitivity and smooth motions great for games that make you aim with the mouse, such as FPS and Hunting games
-Connects fast, and great battery life.
-I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and I put the current batteries in a tester, and they still show approx. 3/4 capacity left. AWESOME!
-Nice little carry bag that even can be used to store the spare batteries
-small and light
cons:
-NONE. Best bluetooth mouse i have ever used(compared to bigger mice and logitek's rough equivalent to this one.)
Comments:
I would definitely recommend this mouse to anyone looking for something small, travel friendly, and still ergonomic w/o sacrificing battery life or USB ports. This is a very good buy.
Customer Review: MS 5000 Bluetooth Netbook Mouse - Retail
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this MS 5000 Bluetooth Netbook Mouse with an Asus 1002HA (built-in bluetooth) and XP as an OS. It replaced a similar-sized Logitech wired netbook mouse. While I don't like wireless mice (or keyboards) for desktops, this mouse is just the thing for a netbook. Well, the re-synch lag after idling for a while isn't important when you're not gaming, is it? No, it isn't. Excellent build quality, tremendous battery life, nice little carry case, chuck it in the netbook bag and go. No USB dongle needed, and that gave me back one of my USB ports. The only thing I'd ding it for is that it doesn't have a forward button, but that's not significant enough to cost it a star. It's also a little small, but so is the netbook, and it's not a full-time office mouse, is it? No, it isn't.
Highly recommended; if you've got a laptop or netbook that you tote around for field use or travel, buy this mouse.
Customer Review: Great Bluetooth Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
The MS bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 is a very good mouse for using with a laptop. So far I have only used it with my Asus eee 1000h with the internal bluetooth and it works flawless in both WinXp and Linux. At first I had thought that I needed to pair the mouse each time I rebooted the computer, but as it turns out it auto-pairs and so "It just works".
I don't understand how the leds show battery life and connection though (I threw away the manual before reading them, who doesn't?). It's not a big issue for me. I usually know when the batteries are out when the mouse stops responding (all of my other cordless mice didn't even have a battery indicator).
I don't think this mouse is intended for gaming purposes, although I haven't tried. I usually game with a logitech G5 or G7, but prefer the wired mouse because less can go wrong with wired mice.
