Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overview:
I use this mouse at work where I do software development. The mouse is nothing exceptional when taking into consideration a Logitech mouse at the same price point. The MS Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 offers slightly more and no less than previous MS Explorer offerings. From a functional standpoint, this is a good thing. Ergonomically sound and as responsive as a wired counterpart, this mouse does well tracking on a mouse pad or table top but does have some trouble with a white reflective surface. I have not played any games with this mouse so I cannot attest to it responsiveness on that extreme but for everyday usage, it is beyond what is needed. The resolution of the mouse is excellent even on a fast setting. The range of the mouse is about 6ft which is fine if the mouse stays in front of the computer but does not work when across the room. This may be a problem for some but the mouse is never further than 1 ft from the receiver for me. Loses a star for having a shorter range which may be the reason you will not find the range advertised on the box.
Pros:
- smooth scroll wheel
- responsive and precise
- ergonomic
Cons:
- 6ft range vs. Logitech 32ft, this is not the mouse to use for a media center across the room
- difficult to click scoll wheel and small side button
Other optical mice owned:
Intellimouse Explorer 1.0
Logitech MX310

It delivers more precision and responsiveness, while offering smoother tracking on more surfaces than ever before. To put it simply, it's the most advanced tracking system available.
Go Wireless Free yourself from the hassle of tangled wires with Microsoft's wireless technology. It's simple: the mouse transmits information directly to a receiver that's plugged into your computer. Smart power-saving technologies give your wireless mouse and keyboard unprecedented battery life, which means you'll enjoy more than six months of uninterrupted functionality. Meanwhile, Microsoft Smart Receiver software reduces the likelihood of interference with other wireless signals.
Magnify The Magnifier function on Microsoft mouse products is like a magnifying glass that is held up to your computer screen. With a simple press and hold motion, the Magnifier enlarges the area of your screen that fits inside the lens. You can easily adjust both the size of the lens and the level of its magnification. You can even use it when you touch up your photos or handle other detailed tasks. The Magnifier works in most programs.
Note that the Magnifier is not compatible with Direct3D API in full screen mode, media players, OpenGL, and layered windows. If you are using Mac OS X, the Magnifier enlarges text and images on the entire screen.
Longer Battery Life Spend more time working wirelessly and less time searching for new batteries. Microsoft's breakthrough power-saving technology extends battery life, so you can get more done with less hassle. Microsoft wireless mouse products automatically enter standby mode when inactive for a certain length of time, which minimizes unnecessary battery drain. In addition, the light in the mouse's optical sensor illuminates only as brightly as is necessary to provide optimal tracking power.
Full Tilt Scroll up and down and side to side more smoothly, efficiently, and easily with the innovative four-way tilt wheel. It's simply a more efficient way to navigate documents, spreadsheets, and Web pages. The entire scroll wheel tilts from side to side, acts as a button, and reacts to how quickly you roll the wheel to enable smooth, accurate maneuverability. For example, if you're working with a super-wide worksheet, you can tilt the wheel from side to side to scroll right and left, without clicking tiny scroll arrows.
