Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate
Customer Review: Great Little Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this mouse for my new Laptop and I'm glad I did. I was a bit skeptical because of the one or two negative reviews (I usually don't read all the positives..what's the point???) but I'm glad I took the chance. So far the battery has lasted over a month of regular use. The mouse sensitivity is great and it looks cool!
The only thing that surprised me was that it doesn't work on a glass topped table. My work desk has a plexiglass cover to it that is 1/4 inch thick and though the desktop itself is wood colored the mouse's optical eye will not work. No problem though, I just slide a piece of paper under the mouse and it works! It's just a small flaw and I'm just mentioning it to let you peeps out there know that it isn't perfect...but overall, I highly reccommend this mouse.
Customer Review: I know it's Microsoft, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a Microsoft product. Beware the corporate demons. LOL!
that said, this is a great travel mouse. Small, but not too small for my large hands, it has a comfortable and easy to use feel. The USB connection tucks away easily and turns the mouse off to prevent battery drain. The mouse will seep when it is not moved , also preventing battery drain. Wakes up instantly with no noticeable delay.
NOT A GAMING MOUSE! THis is a general purpose mouse, it is not a high resolution gaming mouse. Gamers will not be happy with this, this is strictly productivity mouse.
Word of advice for all wireless mice and keyboards: Get rechargable batterys! This mosue typically lasts me about a month per battery, but rechargables pay for themselves pretty quick. :)
Customer Review: Best Mouse I've Owned.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've probably had about 20 mice over the years and I have to say that this Microsoft 3000 is my personal favorite. My friend, who knows a lot more about technology than I do, swears that Logitech beats Microsoft...with everything, but I respectfully disagree with him in regards to this item. It is a much better mouse than the one I got from Logitech, and the price cannot be beat. What I appreciate most is how little effort you have to put in to move the cursor around. You just basically touch it and it goes where you want to go. I also like the USB plug as it's the size of a flash drive and never gets in the way. Further, there's no cord to the USB clip, and my computer area already is a maze of wires, lol. Overall, I think this is one of the best tech buys I've ever made.Customer Review: Great, cheap, wireless mouse.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had it for about 3 years and it still works great.
Aside from the price, another great thing about it is its range. I hook my laptop up to my TV to watch Netflix, and I can control it from across the room.
I like the fact it only requires one battery. If you use a rechargeable lithium ion it lasts for about 3 or 4 months. I read other reviews giving this one star and the only complaining is about the battery life. I'm sorry, but if you're so lazy that changing a battery 3 times a year takes too much time... you've got too much going on in life.
I like the size too. It's small, yet big enough to be functional. I'm 6'3" and have long fingers and I hate using a big bulky mouse. If you do too, I recommend buy this!
Customer Review: Started out good, and then went downhill!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Was ecstatic to find this mouse so much cheaper than the competitors, and thought it would be great. I love the handling of the mouse, and how light it is. No drivers to install makes this a cinch to use! I was able to use it on my desk surface, on top of books, on any surface, until a couple weeks ago, when suddenly it's not working at all. I am unable to get the mouse cursor to move properly - interesting, it works well on my lap - strange! Alos, it looks like I clicked on something but it doesn't go through, until I don't put the mouse on my lap and then click again. Very strang. Maybe if I had a mouse pad it would work. However, I don't want one, so this is being returned. Thanks amazon for making every purchase and return super easy! I love Amazon!!
