Terrible battery consumption and bulit quality September 4, 2010 Eric I bought it at $10 deal. Everything work great after a month. The battery cover locking latch broke after a month but it can easily to glue back. Microsoft states the battery can last at least six months but mine only last for a month in continuous use. In considering for $10, I can accept the defect. I would not recommend this mouse if over $10 by its quality.
Good but small range September 3, 2010 Israel Vasquez This mouse is great the only problem is that the range is too weak and I wish it could go further. Just that is bad about it I think but the rest is perfect
For a Little More Money, Buy a Better Mouse September 2, 2010 SUCHU I bought this mouse because it is under $20. The appearance and the color of the mouse are nice, but it does not work very well. The click sound is kind of noisy. What's worse is the scroll wheel. It makes a loud noise when it scrolls up. It is not as bad when I [scroll down].The mouse is very precise when it comes to moving around the page. You have to refocus your spot several times before it can locate the exact spot you are getting at. Comparing with the other Logitech notebook mouse I have, the Microsoft mouse is more poorly made. The USB transmitter is too long and does not fit on to the mouse nicely. The worst part of all is that it does not work even on a flat desk surface. I had to use a notebook as a mouse pad for it to function.
My recommendation is to spend a little more money and get a better mouse. You will regret if you get this one.
Stopped working within 2 weeks August 31, 2010 Deborah (Arizona) It was good and very easy to use at first, but stopped working within a few weeks of purchase, even after replacing the batteries several times.
CAUTION! August 30, 2010 Jonathan I. Rapoport (Stamford, CT USA) CAUTION! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate
I initially purchased this mouse because up to the time of my purchase, wireless mice required a wired receiver which you had to place on your work surface, not too far away from the mouse. This setup was a bit unreliable, because the mouse would not function properly when something came physically between the mouse and the receiver. (Why would anyone expect that to happen on a cluttered desk?). I loved the features of this device. The receiver is no bigger than a flash drive and plugs directly into a USB port. The mouse itself is smaller than many others, and fits nicely into the hand. (Although it is intended for a notebook computer, I use it for my desktop - for me it is the perfect size). It operates smoothly.
Initially, this mouse looked good and seemed to work well and be well made. It is not well made. As experienced and reported by other reviewers, it soon starts to function erratically. Often, it seems slow, requiring me to move it closer to the receiver. Sometimes, that improves the signal capture. Often, it does not.
There is nothing more frustrating than a sporadically-functioning device, particularly one needed constantly in the operation of a computer. Microsoft knows how to make a better product than this, and should be ashamed of itself.
BUY THIS PRODUCT AT YOUR PERIL!
