Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4.0

Strengths: It has a side scrolling feature that is very useful. It also has a very good wireless connection with no interference.

Weakness: The ergonomic design is just a tad uncomfortable. I'll probably just have to get used to it, but at this point it's not as comfortable as my old mouse.

I got this mouse because I was tired of my regular mouse always getting lint in it and then not scrolling smoothly. So I wanted an optical mouse and my brother recommended this one. I'm not a fan of wireless mice because from past experience they get interference easily and only work if pointed directly at the reciever. This mouse exceeded all of my expectations and relieved my fears. It scrolls...

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4.0

Strengths: scrolling very smooth

Weakness: only 3 buttons

Overall the mouse works pretty well. But I am a bit disappointed that it only has 3 buttons. It's operation maneuverability seems to be better than normal optical mouse.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4.0

Strengths: symmetrical, decent range, smooth scrolling

Weakness: smooth scrolling (see details below), slow horizontal scrolling

The reason I bought this mouse was because of the symmetrical shape. I'm a lefty and the wife is a righty. Normally this is not a problem, but since we've moved, the location of my computer is on a separate table, off to the right side. So, the old wired mouse was only within her reach. With this wireless mouse, problem solved. I haven't had a problem with range. Maybe it's the location of the...

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4.0

Strengths: Easy to setup. Comfortable and very responsive.

Weakness: I miss the forward and reverse buttons that were on my previous corded optical mouse.

I went to MS web page and downloaded the latest software. Mouse installed immediately. I like the product. The tilt wheel is "OK". Nothing mentioned in the instructions that the light stays on all the time in PS2 mode but goes out in USB. Had to find out on MS FAQ section. Mouse icon works well to change settings. Put scroll on slowest setting for best results.

Wireless Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel

Strengths: Great Mouse from Microsoft...

Weakness: Nothing

Great Mouse for the price...Comfortable to hold...Response is also good. The wireless receiver is very powerful and can be placed from several feet away too. The Battery life is good too. But sometimes I feel some interference. Other than that its a good mouse for the price.

Great product...

Strengths: good customers service and fast delivery.

Weakness: doesn't keep customers inform about the products well enough.

I like what came in the mail and the best part about it, it's that I got it for a great price. I like the delivery process as well, quick and straight forward. Thank you.

I'm a little disappointed, but we'll see

Strengths: good size, not too small. The tilted scroll wheel is nice for navigating sideways.

Weakness: The positioning of the mouse is kinda weird. "Huge" wireless receiver.

I got this to replace my Logitech MX610 which is suposed to be awesome. However I'm quite disappointed with it, because it is so hard for me to easily navigate/click on anything I want. When I move it to the target I either stop short or overshoot. I thought I hadn't become used to it, but it has been over 6 months now, it still gives me this weird feeling. Finally decide to replace it with this...

Steel Blue MS Wireless Mouse a pleasure to use!

Strengths: Great feel Nice heft for the hand. Sensitivity good.

Weakness: Range a bit short.

I purchased the MS Wireless Mouse as a replacement for a regular optical wired mouse. I am happy with the sense of freedom it gives. The steel blue color is quite distinguished!

Microsoft Wireless Mouse K8000038

Strengths: Extreamly easy to install, Simple to use. Love the PS2 and USB option.

Weakness: Not sure the Bells and whistles work such as low battery warning while plugged into PS2 Port. Standard PS2 Mouse driver loads instead of Microsoft IntellPoint driver.

Some Gaming Software does not detect a USB Mouse. This is the mouse is best of both worlds. It plugs into the PS 2 port and it is an Optical mouse. Not many on the market to choose from that fits this category.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4.0

Strengths: Fits nicely, feels durable, smooth scroll wheel w/tilt. Long batter life.

Weakness: Not enough buttons! My Logitech has some thumb buttons, this could use thumb buttons. Sometimes "out of range", even though it is only 2- feet away.

I like the tilt feature...very handy. Very strudy and solid feeling mouse. Just need a a few more buttons to be perfect. And perhaps I keep the receiver in a odd place, I will have to move it about and test the receiption some more.
