Customer Review: Microsoft Mouse
Summary: 3 Stars
It comfortable and batteries are same ones as when I got the mouse about two months ago but sometimes the mouse will not work until I unplug the device from my computer and put it back in.Customer Review: Review of Microsoft Wireless Mouse
Summary: 3 Stars
Not sure if it's me or the item, but it doesn't always respond well to my clicks. I use it for traveling, but still use my wired mouse at home because that seems to be more reliable.Customer Review: Cheap-feeling mouse
Summary: 2 Stars
Best thing about this mouse is the packaging. None of that heat-sealed plastic stuff that is next to impossible to get into.
The mouse itself, contrary to other reviews is SMALLER than a regular mouse, about 3/4 the size.
My main problem with it though is that it feels really cheap. The left and right buttons sound cheap. The battery compartment opens in a cheap way. I'm a big "wheel user" for scrolling, and it's NOT a smooth scroll - it's like there's a ratchet/cog in there. What you're scrolling "jumps" - I even downloaded Intellipoint 7.0 (the latest version) - that doesn't fix it - even with the slowest scroll. I just can't use it - that would drive me insane.
For the price, it's not worth returning it - I'll keep it as a mouse of last resort - but I definitely would not recommend it.
Customer Review: Great... when it works...
Summary: 2 Stars
I imagine this would be a decent mouse for someone on a flight or when their mouse will be no more than 2 feet (3 feet is a gross over estimate) from the USB dongle. Over 2 feet things get quirky. Unless you are on a full battery your mouse may not respond to clicks and may lag. It doesn't help that it takes about a week from installing a new battery to get to this point. The sides of the mouse also wear down easily and the cheap rubber starts to peel away after about a month of use. Not a pretty sight. The dongle is also one of the larger ones on the market and will cause your mouse to act up if anything brushes up against it.
If you want a cheap wireless mouse for a trip or as a temporary solution, then I'd say go for it. But if you want a long term, reliable mouse for office use, then I recommend looking elsewhere.
Customer Review: Does not compare with a good bluetooth device on mac
Summary: 2 Stars
I did not like the mouse. It did not install on my mac OS1.6 very well; I got a message to call support. Like I'm going to spend hours on the phone for a mouse. It must be used with a mice pad otherwise it does not slide easily. The scrolling and was too fast. IHMO, bluetooth is superior USB for mice. I knew that. Other vendors have a superior bluetooth solution. Why did I waste my money.
