True Plug and Play 
by .. Elaine Adamcewicz (Aurora, CO USA)
I recently discovered the joys of watching TV episodes online, even better when I got my computer hooked to the big TV. But what a pain to stretch to reach for the wired mouse.
I first went with the Logitech V200 after finding what seemed like a good deal on an open box buy. Since it wasn't new I can't speak with authority about the source of the problem, but despite all reassuring messages that the mouse was recognized and installed properly, I couldn't make the cursor budge a pixel.
After wasting two frustrating days, I turned to Microsoft, since I've loved my optical MS mouse since day one. The first pleasant surprise was the packaging, which seemed impenetrable but actually had a thoughtful cutout built into the edge so you don't need a blowtorch to get to your purchase. Secondly, it was 100% recyclable. Kudos to MS.
It seemed to have the same setup as the Logitech, plug the dongle into a USB port and go. The difference is, the MS actually went. Instantly recognized and functioning, plug-and-play like it's supposed to be. The third pleasant surprise, no need to specify which mouse you're using - the wireless and wired switch back and forth automatically.
Fourth and last, believe the 30-foot range, a crucial feature since in the winter my computer goes back upstairs into the loft. Still works perfectly, and doesn't even require a clear line of sight.
I can't address the battery life since I've only had it a few weeks. The mouse is turned off by returning the dongle to the cradle underneath, but I'd rather change batteries more often than constantly plug and unplug from the computer and risk damaging the dongle.
This mouse does exactly what it's supposed to, and has taught me a lesson in wasting time with another brand of mouse.
Finally, a mouse I like by .. John (St. Louis)
Everything about this product is great. It's comfortable, convienent, and best of all, it works. I've tried the wireless mouse thing before, and hated it. Turns out, after researching these things for a bit, I had a garbage mouse. Then I found this one, which for the price, is ridiculous. I couldn't find the Microsoft 3000 in a store for the price I paid for this one on Amazon. I love the fact that the USB antenna stores perfectly underneath the mouse, and I have been impressed with the battery life. I'm using it constantly, and I think I've only changed the battery once in the 3 months I've had it. I also like the conienence of the smart buttons. I even used the magnifier the other day. I thought it was a wasted feature, but it was actually helpful. If you are like me and are tired of mice that doen't work, or last. Buy this one, I don't think you will be disappointed.
Best mouse I have ever owned -- period by .. Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States)
This is the best mouse I have ever owned ... period! This is a USB mouse, so if your computer has bluetooth, it is probably not for you. But this is one superbly built and superior mouse. Firstly, the ergonomics are really, really good. This mouse just feels good in your hand. Additionally, the range seems to be exceptionally good. I bought this mouse for use in Court, where I can stand at the lectern and use the mouse there to control my computer, which is usually 20 feet or so away. (The screen is projected onto a big screen in front of the jury.) This mouse has the range for this. Further, the scroll button on this mouse is not ratcheted--it is continuous. This makes for a wonderful, comfortable scrolling action. And you have to press down on the scrolling button with authority in order to click into the "fast scroll" mode. This is all to the good because I find the fast scroll mode annoying and impossible to use effectively. My earlier Microsoft mouse was irritatingly easy to click into this mode, which was a negative thing.
If you want a USB wireless mouse, as far as I can tell you cannot do better than this one. Five stars. RJB.
Classroom Use by .. M. Smith ()
I am a classroom teacher. My computer is hooked to a projector. This mouse was recommended by our tech resource department. I have tried it and it lives up to their hype. It allows interactivity with my computer for me and the students from anywhere in my classroom. It sure saves me from running to the computer (or the Smartboard) to access the software features. An extra set of batteries is good to have on hand but that's no problem. Thanks Microsoft!
wonderful by .. Donny207 (Maryland)
Very easy to use on my new laptop. The magnifying feature is terrific for these old eyes and small print. Price was really right!
