Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate
Customer Review: Light, small and cheap! Perfect for notebooks.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this mouse two weeks ago through Amazon and so far it has been perfect. The weight and size are just right for a notebook, since you do not want to be carrying extra weight everywhere you go. Besides I think this is the cheapest wireless mouse you can ever get (I paid about $22 for it). It connects almost instantly the moment you plug the USB receiver (with Windows XP).
I also just read a customer review complaining about the USB receiver, the fact that you had to fold it and the size of it. Microsoft must have recently changed the design, because the USB receiver in the one that I got is now a single piece -smaller than the one shown in Amazon's web pictures- that snaps on the back of the mouse when not in use (the previous design also snaps on the back of the mouse).
One thing I have not tried, though, is the battery duration, but I am sure, as other reviewers said, that it could be longer than 6 months (it depends on how much you use it, anyway).
In summary, great product, I really recommend it.
Customer Review: Great mouse for a Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the only downfalls of Macs, in my opinion, is that they only come with one-button mice. However, contrary to popular belief Macs DO support right-click, a very handy tool, I'm sure we all agree. All you need is a two button mouse that hooks up through USB and there you are.
This mouse is especially great because of its portability. Obviously, being wireless helps in that regard, but the really neat thing about it is its snap-in reciever, which is about the size of a nail clipper, used to hook it up to the computer. This means that you don't have to fool around with a giant reciever when carrying your laptop around. In fact, there's not even any need to take it out. It doesn't add any extra weight.
The quality of the mouse is top of the line. It's small, and feels very comfortable in your hand. It even has grooves in it for your fingers!! I've never had any problems with freezing, loss of signal, etc., and the battery life seems very good.
I highly reccomend this mouse for MacBook users like myself.
Customer Review: Easy And Durable
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this small mouse in a store here when I got my new laptop and quickly decided that I hated the new space age finger pad style cursor that comes built in now. This mouse pretty much does it all with as easy as it gets. You just stick the sensor into any USB port available on your laptop. Then the light blinks for about 20 seconds or so while it orients itself and then you're ready to go. No software to install, no new hardware messages pop up, nothing. You need a AA battery for the mouse itself but that's it. I have had this mouse now for almost a year and have stepped on it, dropped it, and altogether abused it and its working perfectly. The sensor unit that is about 2" long can sometimes be bumped into with your arm and wha tnot with it sticking out the side. But when that happens the light blinks again while it re orients itself and then you're back in business. And the sensor stores nicely in the bottom of the mouse for traveling and storing. Good quality comfy little mouse. Highly recommended.....Customer Review: An excellent mouse at a great price!

After fighting with my old corded mouse for the last few months, constantly getting the cord tangled in papers, etc, I went shopping for a wireless mouse. I picked up this Microsoft mouse for only $25 here on Amazon. At first I was a little nervous because I have seen some tiny mice for laptops, but was very pleasantly surprised when I received this one.
I am using it for my desktop, and it is the perfect size for me, fits very comfortably in my hand, and tracks perfectly. No more annoying jumps across the screen. I had to slow it down a bit in the control panel, as its initial speed was a bit fast, but now works beautifully.
Another definite plus is that there was no setup. I opened the packaging, put the battery (included) in the mouse, plugged the USB receiver into a port, and 10 seconds later my mouse was working perfectly! A great buy!
PROS = Low cost, nice size, good tracking, instant functionality with Windows XP.
CONS = None I can think of.
Customer Review: Must have gadget for for frequent travellers...
Summary: 5 Stars
My second wireless optical moue after Logitech 931152-0403 Cordless Optical Mouse. Much better than the Logitech mouse as it lighter and "soft"buttons.
Highly recommended for laptops. Even though it has a "connect" button, never had to use it. Just plug and play installation. No need to download/install drivers. Used it with Win 2000 and Win XP.
Pros ::
* Solid responsive mouse
* Soft buttons
* Cordless so no tangled wires around you
* Optical so can be used on ( just about ) any surface
* Small USB receiver
* * Used it, without any issues, with my wireless internet connection
* Easy to replace batteries
* Single AA battery
Cons ::
* Might be small for a person with large hands &/or long fingers
* NO carrying case. Even though the adapter fits *in* the mouse. It could help to have a carrying case as well.
* Not aware of any way to program the "buttons" ( for "left handed" persons )
