 Not good for prolonged use September 16, 2008
Andrew.R
I bought this mouse to replace my wired Microsoft notebook mouse 3000, which was just worn out. At first, I thought the mouse was very good as it seemed like my old mouse without the wire. After 2 weeks of use, I sent it back. Mine was broken but the batteries had run out too.
The buttons do not give a very tactile response and seem dampened. Quieter clicks but harder on your fingers. The middle-mouse click is good though.
The mouse wheel is ok for certain uses but I prefer the free-scrolling wheel on the 3000. No clicks and much easier to scroll large documents. There is no tilt on the 5000 for left-right scrolling.
This mouse will also pair with just one machine at a time so if you switch machine you have to pair it every single time.
Drop outs occur due to the energy saving mode. If you type for a while, it will put the mouse to sleep to save batteries. It's something you can live with but can be irritating.
Batteries always make the wireless mice heavier - this one uses 2xAAA so not too bad but still noticeably heavier than a wired mouse. Some people may prefer the extra momentum but I prefer the lighter mouse for prolonged use.
I have since ordered another notebook mouse 3000. I would either recommend that or the Logitech VX Nano. The Nano is not bluetooth but is a very well built mouse and the batteries last much longer.
It's a shame because this mouse is the most stylish mouse I've owned, even better looking than the Nano.
Overall, very impressed. August 27, 2008

Having ordered this, late on a tuesday night prior to a bank holiday, i was delighted to find it waiting for me when i got back from a short holiday over the weekend despite estimated dispatch date of the tuesday after the bank holiday. Very Impressed amazon, well done!
As to the product itself, i have to echo what other reviewers have said, size wis it is very good. for a notebook mouse. not unuseably small as many are, but a good comfortable size.
the buttons are well placed, not too close together, so they dont get in each others way, even the 4th button which is on the side, it is above the natural position for the thumb so no real chance of accidently hitting it as is the case with many other mice. the buttons themselves have a soft click which, although it is different to the last mouse i had, is not unpleasant to use. the wheel has an almost stiff feeling, which some reviewers have seen as negative, i agree with another who sees it as a positive click, you can tell its clicking round and its not too loose so you cant accidently move it.
my computer found the device without any trouble at all, and it works very well, although im not yet sure whether or not i can get away without needing to press the link button on the bottem every time. i cant see it being a major problem if i do need to.
the only slight niggle i can find so far is infrequently the computer will drop the connection, quickly rectified by a quick press of the link button. not a big deal, although it does make a life a bit more challenging if you happen to be playing a first person shooter at the time.
despite this (i cant make any comment on battery life and other such long term things as i have only had it for 3 days) it appears to be a good buy and so far i would strongly recommend it to anyone with a bluetooth enabled notebook who is lacking in USB ports for a dongle/wired mouse.
 Brilliant product. August 3, 2008

Brilliant mouse. Doesn't feel dinky or cheap like other 'notebook' mice. In fact it doesn't feel like a notebook mouse - it feels like a normal mouse.
Easy to install; bluetooth requires no USB dongle etc.
All in all, brilliant product.
Great Mouse - but not new! July 7, 2008

I can't fault the mouse - it connects effortlessly, looks very nice and works a charm. It came with 2 good batteries too, so was ready to go as soon as I got it. No problems there.
However... When I order a 'new' product, I expect it to come with the original packaging. This never - it came stuffed into an envelope with the batteries. It almost feels 'back of a lorry' when this happens.
So - 5 stars for the product, 1 star for the 'new' aspect and packaging, gives it 3 stars.
Great product! June 30, 2008

5 star product, comes with batteries. Very ergonomically designed, perfect size, looks great, no dongles or wires. Connects to bluetooth easily.
Would highly recommend this product.
