Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

Comment:
After trying several other brands and always having trouble configuring them, we purchased several of the Microsoft Mice and have no trouble at all with configuration or the users implementaion of the product. I always try and have a couple at hand to replace our old ones and to sue on new laptops.

Very good price but it eats batteries.

Excellent deal, just as advertised.

Excellent Product!!!

Syncing of the mouse was easy. Mouse feels great in hand. The thumb button for clicking back on the internet and other areas of Windows is very helpful. If there is an issue at all, the scroll button is touchy when scrolling up on a page, as it tends to go into scroll mode. Very minor issue, if at all. So minor that I don't let it detract from the overall great quality of the mouse itself.

So far, it's working great and as expected.

There aren't a heck of a lot of choices when it comes to bluetooth mice, but I think this one is one of the best values. It feels solid and well-built, syncing was easy, and it works just fine. It can do all the things you would expect for typical day to day use, but probably won't satisfy someone with special requirements (e.g., gamer). True, it's a bit on the small side (I'm 6 feet tall with pretty big hands), but I don't find it at all awkward to use. I haven't noticed any issues with excessive battery drain -- just make sure you remember to switch the mouse off when not in use! All in all, a good product at a reasonable price.

Not only was I pleased with the price of this Bluetooth dongle but also it's performance. I am very happy.

Have been using this mouse for a month and feel pleased about its functionality and value. Should be a good Bluetooth mouse to have.

Comment:
It does what a mouse is supposed to. Using it with an IOGear Bluetooth USB Dongle. Gives me some lag sometimes, but I think that's my lappy, not the mouse. Although I think it was a little spendy, it was worth the money.

Comment:
The mouse is the perfect size for a compact mouse to take with you. The only complaint I have which might be my computer is that acts a little glitchy sometimes. Occasionally I have to hit the mouse button again to get it to respond to the last command.

Bought This Mouse At local store Just After christmas Day. Nice To Save An USB Slot On My Laptop With The Blue Tooth(Only Have 3). Maybe I Use Mine Too Much But I'm On 3rd Set Of Batteries Already And Its Only Been About 3 Weeks. Spent $50 Something On It At BB. Pretty Good Mouse But It's Expensive There. Would Be Nice To Have A Forward Button When i Accidentally Hit The Back Button. Using Win 7 64

Small, but portable! Synced up right away! By the way the back button is only a back button it's not a forward button. Battery indicator is a nice feature. On Off switch is nice, and you have to give it a shake if you leave it for more then 30 seconds, I don't know if it is saving power or if it's the Bluetooth connection. Came with batteries and a carrying case, batteries are still in their and working! It's been about a month now and the battery indicator is still green, and I use my laptop daily. Again it's small but you'll get used to it. The scroller does click and allows you to scroll up and down by moving the mouse up and down. The scroller doesn't move right and left do, but c'mon it's a notebook mouse!! A little pricey, but I took it because there is not much of a selection! I didn't want to take up a USB port!

This mouse has smooth tracking on any surface, good range, and is a comfortable grip considering its small size. Connected to my Dell Inspiron 1750 right away. My only complaint is that the battery cover easily pops off if the mouse is dropped.

Comment:
Quality build. Feels and works well. Using Win 7.

Comment:
It synched right up to my laptop easily, and worked right away. But it's just way too small. Too small for even a portable mouse, but maybe I have large hands. Since it's too small, the side button is very inconvenient. And it worked on a couch cushion but the pointer wasn't smooth like it was with my Toshiba BT mouse. It was kinda jumpy and erratic. I regret buying this tiny thing.

It synced write up with my usb bluetooth device, i didn't have to sync it or anything. It has a nice feel to it. I've been using the same batteries for about 2 months now and still haven't had to replace them. (i use the laptop daily). The only cons i have: 1) It is quite small, maybe a little smaller than i would prefer, but it is supposed to be that way because it is a notebook mouse... 2) Sometimes the trackwheel presses when you're just trying to scroll with it, It's too sensitve...

This think worked about a month and then died. It used batteries like crazy, even with the power-saving switch. DON'T BUY

Comment:
Just the right size for a travel mouse, and since the laptop (Toshiba Tecra) has Bluetooth built in, I didn't need any drivers, any dongles, etc. Synced right up, worked right away, have had no problems with it. Just the right size for a travel mouse. The switch to turn it off is very nice as well. Love it, recommend it.

I have a HP mini-1000 netbook with bluetooth, I have service psck 3. I can't get the mouse to sink with it. It sinks right away with my MAC book..

Comment:
I got this Mouse along with a Bluetooth RocketFish keyboard for my birthday , very accurate and power efficient mouse and I have never been disappointed with it once. The back button on the side i rarely use because I just cant get used to it , but in video games it has become a god send for me.

Comment:
Works great, a very energy efficent mouse, I have had it over 3 months and it's still on the same batteries! I definitely recommend buying this mouse.

For you MAC users out there, if you use this mouse and regularly put your mac to sleep, dont buy this mouse. This mouse goes into its own 'sleep mode' and when it does, it wakes up a sleeping mac because of the detected loss of connectivity to the mouse. Very frustrating. Turning mouse off doesnt help because that in itself is registered as a bluetooth disconnection and wakes the mac as well. Im not saying this is Microsoft's fault, just beware.

Comment:
A decent mouse for Windows, but the Mac side is severely lacking (why I expected different from Microsoft I don't know). Control is ''sloppy'' and jumpy. It can be rather frustrating to click on small controls. NO drivers are included, Windows, Mac, or otherwise. Trying to locate the drivers on Microsoft's site is a pain. The fourth (thumb) button is totally non-configurable in Mac even after I found Microsoft's driver and installed it. If you want this mouse for Windows, it may be what you are searching for. For Mac, look elsewhere.

Bought this as a replacement for my USB optical for IBM T42 laptop. I use it at both work and at home. Perhaps because of the domain or admin settings I had to install both at work and then at home. No big deal. I haven't figured out how to change the security setting yet. It has not been an issue, but if I get in an area with more Bluetooth traffic, I may get crossover from another user. I found the range to be outstanding! A co-worker watched the screen as I scrolled from over 150 ft away!! It's small size does take a day to get use to, but I find it convenient to drop in a pocket when I walk away from my desk. The power saving mode it slips into when idle for a short time helps for conserving battery power. I haven't had it long enough to drain a set of AAA batteries so I cannot say how long a set will last. I am very happy with this mouse. If your laptop or desktop has Bluetooth built in, I highly suggest looking at this one.
