iGo Mini Wireless Bluetooth Optical Mouse Stowaway Travel Mouse for PDA, Laptop & Desktop Computers MSBTUER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned one of these for several years and I love it. Problem is that Outside The Box no longer makes it and it has not been built for over 2 years now. Shoptronics is getting rid of the inventory that they still have. The one I purchased seemed to be repacked and did not work. Warranty claims with the manufacturer are not available so I returned it about 6 weeks ago and I am still waiting for my refund, which BTW was approved before I sent it back. Got a letter yesterday from Amazon saying that they would be crediting my card in the next few days. Will see. I do trust Amazon.

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a mouse for my Macbook that did not require me to plug in a dongle. Therefore, a bluetooth mouse was my obvious choice. I heard about this mouse some months before it was available for purchase. It has bluetooth and laser. I am glad I waited for this mouse - it is great. It does what a mouse should without having to fuss with it or deal with all kinds of uneeded "features". Logitech once again came up with a winner.
It was recognized easily by my Macbook and worked perfectly without having to tweak anything. Contrary to what some reviewers say about laser mice, this mouse is not too sensitive. Scrolling is smooth and accurate. There is a slight delay when the computer starts for bluetooth to recognize the mouse, but this is negligible.
There is an on-off switch to conserve the battery -- very nice! Also, it is white to match my Macbook. I have had this mouse about a week and have not discovered any negatives. I love it.

iGo MSBTUE Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this mouse for our office's Dell Lattitude D610 Laptop with Bluetooth, and absolutely adore the little thing.
I know, I know, this was designed to be used with Pocket PC's, but the market for good bluetooth products for the laptop is not all that wonderful. My choice was between the Kensington PocketMouse Bluetooth and this little critter, and it seems I made a wise decision.
Both have very good acclaim and similar features (Optical, Bluetooth, accepts regular batteries, On/Off switch, comfortable rubbery casing material) but the main difference between the two seems to be the size.
I was more than a bit concerned with the size becomming the crutch of the device, as my hands aren't the smallest and I've read reviews of uncomfort. I have to say though, for the length of time I've used the mouse (1-2 hours at a time in the office over the past few weeks) my hands have yet to become fatigued due to the minuteness of the mouse.
Portability and ease of use for this wireless wonder are top notch, and the installation was a snap (as simple as pushing a button on the mouse to make it "discoverable", turning on my laptop, and then switching on the mouse).
After using this mouse for a while, you'll gawk at the size of your regular PC's device, and you'll also smile at how cool your wireless world has become.
I may be missing the largest idea behind this product (a mouse for PDA's) but It's even a stellar purchase for any laptop user.

Logitech V270 Cordless Optical Mouse for Bluetooth - Bright Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Within a week of purchasing the similar Logitech V200 cordless mouse, the company announces the V270, much to my chagrin. Finally, a Bluetooth mouse was released that has all of the qualities I desire:
- Made by one of the "big three" mouse manufacturers (Microsoft, Logitech, Kensington);
- Has more than one button and a scroll wheel (sorry Apple!);
- Under $50.00;
- Does not require purchasing a hefty charging stand/receiver;
- Works natively with Mac OS X's Bluetooth drivers.
As the title of this review states, the packaging does call out the fact that the mouse works well with PowerBooks. Don't own a PowerBook? The mouse works with any Bluetooth-enabled Macintosh computer running 10.2.8 or higher, or any Windows 2000/XP machine with a Broadcom/Widcomm Bluetooth chipset. Aesthetically, the mouse is just a slight shade of silver darker than that of the aluminum PowerBooks. (A charcoal-colored version of the V270 is also available.) Including a neoprene carrying pouch that zippers shut is a nice touch on Logitech's part, considering the relative cost of the mouse itself.
As the V270 works natively with Mac OS X's Bluetooth drivers, I was up and running within minutes. The mouse is as responsive as you'd expect from any average cordless mouse during normal use. Since the mouse sends its signal in pulses (compared to traditional RF cordless mice whose signals are constant, even when immobile), there is a slight lag (less than a second) when first moving the mouse after a period of inactivity. After that initial movement, any subsquent hand gestures are met with an immediate response. Although it may sound annoying, this behavior is a good thing, as it helps improve overall battery life.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of all (for me) is the reclamation of a USB port that was previously occupied by the V200's USB dongle.
Definitely recommended.

Kensington 72414 PilotMouse Bluetooth Mini Mouse (PC/Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After I noticed my thumbs developing slight pain from using the cramped touchpad on my laptop, I looked around for a cordless mouse. I opted for the Kensington Pilot Mini for the following reasons, in order of importance:
1) Bluetooth technology (no infrared receiver to deal with)
2) Priced lower than other models such as the MSFT mouse
3) Compact size because I travel every couple of months
I'll cut to the chase and list my pros and cons.
Cons:
- First mouse arrived and within a few days, the rubber pad peeled away from the chassis. I firmly pressed it down so that the adhesive made contact again but it would only stay down for a few days. I returned the mouse for a replacement.
- About half the time, when I stop moving the mouse, the cursor drifted right to left. It's unclear whether this is due to the mouse or my Bluetooth card but the replacement does not seem to have this problem.
- The scroll wheel makes an annoying rattling sound when scrolling. Not a problem at home but this could get annoying if I'm in a meeting. Replacement mouse also has this problem.
- I bought this for $52.99 but I now see the price is $69.99. At $52.99, it was pricier than most IR mice but I thought I'd invest in the Bluetooth technology and use the mouse for a number of years. In retrospect, I find the quality shoddy for a product priced at this premium. Certainly at $69.99, the mouse is overpriced in my opinion. I recognize I'm paying the early adopter price for Bluetooth but if you can get by with an IR mouse, do that or wait until this device drops to $30 in a year.
Pros:
- Setup is incredibly easy (I'm using XP pro with the Kensington Bluetooth card).
- Not specific to this mouse, but the comfort of a cordless mouse is fantastic. I plan on keeping the replacement mouse, scroll wheel rattle and all.
- Mouse seems to work on a variety of surfaces.
- Priced lower than other Bluetooth mice. Kensington marketing did their homework; this mouse is priced lower than mose Bluetooth mice but still higher than IR mice so it captures a profit. However, at $69.99, I'm not sure this is still true.
All in all, I'm keeping the mouse but disappointed with the quality given the price. As a side note, I've shopped Amazon since they started business 10 years ago and this is the first return I've had to make. The make the process EXTREMELY painfree. They had a Returns web site that sends out a replacement immediately with no cost to me. Since the product is a defect, I do not incur shipping charges for sending the old one back.

Logitech V550 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many of you probably are deciding between the VX nano and this V550 for your notebook (or like me own a bunch of both). My overall preference is the VX nano even though it is more expensive, because it feels better in the hand and seems to have better built quality. Here are the differences:
VX nano:
- more curved back, fits my small hands better
- AAA batteries, still lasts forever
- more buttons on the left side (never really use them)
- slightly lighter
- compact and convenient battery door
V550:
- more flat back and slightly longer
- AA batteries, thus REALLY long life
- only one extra button below the scroll wheel
- slightly heavier
- the entire bottom casing pops off, is more plastic-y and i'm afraid i may snap it in half one of these days.
- has a stick-on button so you can hang this thing from various things like your laptop
Both have the awesome nano receiver, laser tracking, and storage of the nano receiver inside the mouse itself when not in use. Both are small and notebook sized. Both have a patented flywheel which changes type when you press it. Both have a light that indicates connection and battery low.
Your choice.

Logitech V550 cordless laser mouse for notebooks, with a Clip-and-Go dock that lets you attach your mouse to your laptop, gives you one less thing to carry.

Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using the Logitech Nano mouse with tiny USB dongle for some time and love the friction-free scroll wheel. The only problem is that my notebook only has two USB ports and sometimes I need both for something other than the mouse (and some devices don't seem to function correctly through a USB hub). So I've wanted a Bluetooth version of the Nano for quite some time. The M555b combines the two features I "needed" into one unit and I've been pretty happy with it so far.
The M555b has one programmable button just behind the scroll wheel, similar to the Nano, but not the other two extra buttons. Not a problem for me since I tend not to use the additional buttons, but it should be pointed out for those who do. The M555b wheel still has side-to-side scroll functionality. I wish they had kept the shape and design of the Nano in this new mouse since I prefer that style and feel. The M555b looks and feels somewhat "cheap" by comparison. That's just a matter of preference however... your results may vary. Also, the M555b doesn't come with a protective mouse sleeve for transport, like my Nano did. For the price of this mouse, you'd think they could throw that in.
Another thing I don't care for on the M555b is the battery cover. To access, you hold the mouse upside down, press a button at the back of the mouse, and lift the bottom off the mouse. It just seems more awkward than having a little trap door cover on the bottom, but that's also a preference issue... doesn't really get in the way of usability.
At one point, just a few days into using the mouse, it stopped communicating with my computer and I figured the (included) alkaline starter batteries had lost charge. I tried several other sets of regular and rechargeable batteries. Also tried redoing the Bluetooth connection, etc., with no luck. I decided to return it as defective, but when I tried again the next day it started working and has been fine ever since. Don't know what the problem was, but the hiccup seems to have gone away.
As with other Bluetooth mice, this one has a touch of lag on occasion, especially if it's been sitting for a few minutes without moving. Overall, it doesn't seem as bad as other Bluetooth mice I've used, but I wouldn't recommend this for gamers or people who demand ultra precision and responsiveness. With general use, it probably won't be an issue.
If you need several programmable buttons, look elsewhere. Check a local store to see if you like the style and feel of this before buying since it's rather plain-looking. Overall, I give the M555b good ratings because it gives back a USB port while keeping the free-wheeling scroll, which I'd be hard pressed to do without now (great feature!).

The Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b. Speedy and sleek, offering wireless connectivity with your Bluetooth -enabled computer. And you don\'t need a receiver. Hyper-fast scrolling lets you fly through long documents and Web pages with a single spin of a nearly frictionless scroll wheel. Laser tracking delivers smooth, responsive, precise cursor control on surfaces that cause problems for standard optical mice, such as polished or wood-grain tables. The low-battery indicator eliminates surprises. The smart sleep mode feature and on/off switch extend battery life.

Pro Click Mobile Bluetooth Wireless Notebook Mouse for Mac/PC--Sugar Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderfully-responsive, optical-based Bluetooth notebook mouse that pairs without any fuss and doesn't require device drivers or special software. But, its smooth plastic belly feels cheap and its limited features make it seem toy-like compared to the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 which features far better ergonomics, a fantastic smooth-scrolling, two-way scrollwheel, laser-tracking, and lots of extra buttons (and a laser-pointer!).
I have used both mice with both Windows and Mac OS X, and the Microsoft WNPM 8000 is the clear winner if you are a Windows user. On the Mac, the Razer is the winner by a hair: the Microsoft places highly for its ergonomics and laser tracking (the extra buttons aren't usable on Mac OS X except with third-party drivers), and the Razer wins for its reliability and compatibility with Mac OS X.
I knew I had a huge winner with the Microsoft WNPM 8000, so why did I buy the Razer? Because: the Microsoft has some serious tracking problems when used with Mac OS X. I'm not sure what causes this, especially since I was using Microsoft's Intellipoint software for the Mac, but other Amazon reviewers have reported the same problem. It got so bad that I simply had to buy a replacement and assigned the Microsoft to my Windows machine permanently.
Of all the Bluetooth notebook mice out there for Mac OS X, the Razer Pro|Click Mobile Mouse featured the best technology by far and was the only one to make the claim of not requiring any additional drivers or software. (It doesn't even ship with a device driver CD.) It has been permanently assigned to my Mac for its smooth tracking and integration with Mac OS X. I like the heft given the Razer by its two AA batteries, and the very high 1200dpi resolution is phenomenal. Tracking was consistent on surfaces that other optical mice have had trouble on, and the mouse picks up its pairing many times more quickly than the Microsoft WNPM 8000 when the Mac or mouse is first turned on or when the Mac comes out of sleep.
If the Razer were upgraded to laser tracking and featured two-way scrolling with lighter detents, it would be the perfect notebook mouse for both Windows and Mac OS X. Until then, it might only be the perfect notebook mouse for only Mac OS X.

Bluetooth Travel Mouse -rohs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mouse is for the OQO2, which is why I bought it originally. But I used it on an old PDA phone I had. I sold this a long time ago as I no longer have an OQO or a PDA phone, but I would have kept it had I a need.
It's a cute little mouse and works great with any bluetooth and mouse capable device. It is a bit pricey compared to other solutions these days, so shop around.

Rocketfish Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse for Macbook / Pc Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, let me point out that this is not exclusively for Apple computers. This mouse works great with Vista and Windows XP as well, and includes drivers for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of those operating systems, so PC users can feel confident grabbing this Bluetooth mouse.
Now, as a Mac user, I have to say this is what Mighty Mouse should be. I loved my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, but hated the way the scroll ball would get gunked up and stop working every 3 months. When it finally stopped scrolling completely, Apple was cool and replaced it free of charge (standard Apple 1-year warranty), and I decided to sell the replacement Mighty Mouse and try something new.
I tried a few different choices. A Kensington Laser Desktop Mouse (good, but was weird about not recognizing clicks until I moved the mouse pointer off of the item I clicked), a Microsoft Sidewinder (good mouse, bad cord), and a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Mouse (great mouse, but too small for daily use).
Then I saw this Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse, and decided to give it a try. I have to say, I'm very impressed!
Pros:
Feels like the Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.
Scroll Wheel has GREAT feedback clicks (I prefer that to the "smooth scroll" of MS desktop mice).
Scroll Wheel does horizontal scrolling.
Power switch allows you to save some battery power if you're going to be gone for a while.
Right and Left click buttons are clearly separated, easy to click, and responsive.
1200 DPI tracking is ultra-sensitive. (I had to turn down sensitivity all the way, so this is also a Con).
Connected easily and instantly with my MacBook with no drivers necessary.
Costs a lot less than the Apple Mighty Mouse.
1-year limited warranty.
Lightweight, good sound feedback on clicks and scrolling, solid construction.
Cons
If you leave the mouse tracking in the middle or up high, it's simply too sensitive to be useful.
Only three buttons, and I miss the Mighty Mouse "squeeze" button(s) and 5-button mice.
Windows requires driver installation (What else is new?) in order to use side-scrolling.
Who the heck is Rocketfish? I never heard of them until last year! Is their warranty good?
Uses AAA batteries, which means I can't use the AA rechargeables I was using with other mice.
No advanced features or assignable buttons as with mice that use a software/driver suite (Kensington, MS).
Overall, this gets four stars because it's a great mouse and wonderful alternative to the Mighty Mouse. It doesn't get five stars because it has only three buttons, and these days that's starting to seem kind of limited and quaint. For the asking price, I'd expect a five-button mouse.
I'm sticking with the Rocketfish Apple Bluetooth Mouse because it's a solid product that sets out what it means to do: Offer Mighty Mouse users an alternative that feels and connects the same way, but has none of Mighty Mouse's weaknesses. By NOT emulating the scroll ball, Rocketfish did the right thing and made a superior product.
If you're a Mac user who loves the way Mighty Mouse feels and connects, but hates how Mighty Mouse can act up sometimes, this may be what you're looking for. For PC users, you may be surprised how comfortable this form factor is, and you might appreciate the 1200 DPI sensitivity and solid Bluetooth performance.
UPDATE: A couple weeks later, and I had to return this mouse. While I loved the feel and shape, and was impressed with it at first, it ultimately failed to be reliable. It kept losing a solid connection via Bluetooth, and the mouse movements would become "jumpy" requiring me to remove it from my Bluetooth list and then "re-acquire" it to fix the problem. After many times doing this, I decided enough was enough and replaced it with an RF wireless mouse instead. Unfortunately Rocketfish doesn't make an RF wireless version of this mouse (Bluetooth or wired. That's all.) and so I was forced to go with another manufacturer.
Your mileage may vary. I have a lot of wireless devices in my home, and I could probably attribute my problems to one of them interfering. All I know is that the mouse became impractical because of this connection issue.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second Bluetooth mouse I've owned. The first Bluetooth mouse (from a different manufacturer) was so bad, I took it back after 2 days because:
- The 2 AAA batteries went flat after 2 days.
- After letting the mouse sit for a minute, moving the mouse gave no cursor movement until it came out of some sort of deep sleep.
- It performed badly on timber surfaces.
The Microsoft Laser 8000 has none of these faults. I've been using it for almost 3 weeks with min 12hr days and it has taken this long for the battery to go flat. Actually, it's not flat, but the red light says it's time for a charge. Amazing.
The mouse performs very well on timber surfaces, although it can do a minor mistrack sometimes, but not enough to cause frustration. It shows zero delay after leaving the mouse sit for any length of time - the cursor responds instantly.
The power switch is great, making it easy to throw the mouse in the backpack when travelling from home to the office or further. Initially I was sceptical about the smooth spin scroll wheel, but now I'm a convert.
Good Points:
-Battery life from a single charge lasts easily over 2 weeks.
-Single AA battery (cheap to buy & carry an emergency replacement if necessary).
-Power switch, great for switching the mouse off before travelling.
-Perform well on timber surfaces and every other surface I've tried.
-Cursor responds instantly, even if the mouse has been untouched for hours.
Bad points:
-The mouse requires the charging base to get recharged. The charger won't plug directly into the mouse and the mouse can't be plugged into a USB port to charge. This is bad for travellers, but at least the charging base is flat so it packs easily.
-The scroll wheel is stiff to press (ie middle mouse button).
Another review said the Instant View feature only works with the dongle. This wasn't the case for me. I have an IBM T42 and all the features work with the laptop's built in Bluetooth transceiver. I must confess I didn't like this feature as I use the middle button for other things.
In summary, I'm very happy with it. The pros easily outweigh the cons, so I have no qualms recommending it.

Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 Mac/Win Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted this mouse because it's one of the few 5-button laptop/notebook mice. All the other features, including the flash drive and wireless receiver were bonuses.
It's a good little mouse. It's a nice size and fits well in my hand. I haven't had a problem with its responsiveness and tracking. I really like that it has an on/off switch, can use BlueTooth, and uses a AAA rechargeable battery.
The extra buttons on the side (I use for back/forward) are placed too far back for such a small mouse. I'd like it better if the extra buttons were on each side of the mouse like some of the old Microsoft corded versions.
The scroll wheel is too loose which doesn't serve me well when zooming in and out of detailed Visio diagrams.
The carrying case is too small to carry the mouse, the receiver, and the cord. It all fits but it's weird and bulky. It should at least fit receiver well.
Finally, I read a review by someone else somewhere that the mouse is too bulky (high) for a laptop mouse. I didn't think much of it until I put it in my bag. It could probably be flatter. I would've opted for flatter and a little longer.
Despite these cons, I still like the mouse and I'll keep using it until I find another notebook mouse with 5-buttons.

Targus AMB08US Bluetooth Laser Mouse for Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I just installed this mouse 2 hours ago I think I can tell most of its pros and cons, if any more arise I'll make sure to update this review.
Im starting to love this mouse for the same reasons I loved the wireless mighty mouse, which is built for Mac and almost perfect integration with bluetooth and the mac os, so here is what I found:
Pros:
- 1 more function than mighty mouse with a 5th button.
- You can use the 4th and 5th button for almost whatever you want.
- The 4th button can be used seamlessly, better than MM.
- IT HAS NO SCROLL BALL This is by far the major advantage of this device, it has optical tracking for scrolling which means NO DIRTY BALL, no issues with the scrolling being clunky.
- The cursor seems to run very fast and very precise in the last two hours I found only a couple of issues.
-Even though it has 5 buttons its very simple to use, this looks and feels like an apple product, it looks real good with my Mac mini
Cons.
- For some reason the apps or docs dont open with double click on the finder, I've tried several twiking and have been unable to make it work, this hasn't been a big deal since you can just right click and press open, still is a little annoying. (I sent Technical support a question about this, I expect a response in a couple of days) (Double Click has worked with everything else I've tried, like icons on desktop and inside applications, it seems to be an issue with the Finder)
- Even though you can install targus drivers and software to configure the 4th and 5th buttons, there's no battey level indicator as there is with the Mighty Mouse.
UPDATE: (after a week and a half)
I have found a couple of more issues with this mouse that should matter when making a decision in buying it.
- The scrolling is not very controllable on slow scrolling apps like Firefox and Itunes Store. Its also not very precise on other apps. (it works fine on Safari)
- I haven't got a response on the double clicking issue on the Finder (see above)
- When you start your machine it doesn't recognize it right away, you have to move it and click on it for a little while before it's recognized.

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this mouse for a couple of weeks and am very satisfied with it. There was no software installation. I simply plugged the wireless receiver into an available USB port, put a "AA" size battery in the mouse, and turned on the computer. The mouse started working just as Windows XP finished loading.
It may be a little small for really large hands, but it fits my hand (medium-size male) perfectly with my palm resting on a mouse pad for comfort. In fact, it feels better than most I've had in the past (desktop or laptop). And the mouse fits into a side packet of a laptop case very nicely. As others have pointed out, the USB receiver fits into the bottom of the mouse when traveling.
The buttons are shapped well, as are the rubber side grips. The two large buttons feel solid, but the center scroll button is a little noisy and doesn't feel as well made. But, that center button works as well as the other two.
Since I've only had it a couple of weeks, I don't know how long the "AA" battery will last yet. However, I'm using my laptop mainly as a desktop, used many hours each day, and the original battery is still going strong. To insert the battery, press the silver button directly below the "Microsoft" logo and the top pops off (the release button is designed to look decorative). At that point, one will immediately see the battery holder.
The wireless feature works flawlessly. In fact, if one had really good eyes, one could operate the computer from the other side of a room. Yes, I've actually tried that, with the mouse moving the cursor around the screen with no problems.
I just read one of the other reviews where a lag was mentioned. I've seen nothing of this. In fact, after reading that review, I sat here moving the mouse slowly, quickly, tiny movements, short movements, long movements, and so on, with no noticeable lag. The cursor moves exactly as the mouse moves.
All in all, I think anyone would be satisfied with this mouse.

UPDATE: I wrote the above in February 2005 and have continued to use the mouse since (now Aug 2006). It is still performing well and the battery mentioned in the review above lasted through about 2.5 months of routine everyday use. I have since purchased a second mouse for my desktop computer, which is also working fine after about four months. The following is in response to issues raised by other reviewers.
To Edwin A. Pell III (New York), the mouse fits identically in either a left or right hand. To reverse the buttons, open the "Mouse" control panel and select "other pointing devices" in the drop-down menu listing your laptop's touchpad.
Again, to anyone wanting to ADJUST MOUSE SETTINGS, use the "other pointing devices" selection in the "Mouse" control panel.
To A. Mazakov (Fairfax, VA), the mouse is not sealed shut. The screws are located under the four black adhesive feet on the bottom of the mouse. Pry the feet off with a knife and stick them back on when finished with your modification.
To Denis Dolgachev (Ann Arbor, MI), you do not have to disconnect the mouse each night. The mouse enters a battery saving mode when no movement is detected for some time, allowing batteries to last upwards of two to three months (depending on usage) with a continous connection. In other words, you really only need to disconnect the mouse when you want to move or store the computer.
Those mentioning lags, delays, or choppy movement should check the "Mouse" control panel settings or for things interfering with USB devices. When setup and operating properly, there is no latency behavior whatsoever with this mouse. Movements are fine and precise. The only normal delay is in the split second when the mouse recovers from the battery saving mode after periods of inactivity.

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser (967558-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned every top of the line Logitec cordless keyboard/mouse combo's since they began making them.. about 3 years ago. I'm not stating top of the line out of ego but more to let you know that I havent owned the more economical packages they have to offer and cannot comment on how they compare.
The previous version I owned was called the MX700. It was a cordless optical mouse and cordless keyboard that use FM to communicate to a base station/charging station for the mouse. They keyboards all use AA batteries. Funny thing was the first iteration of logitec keyboards took 6 batteries then they learned a little and the newer revisions only took 2.
The MX5000 brings in a few techie changes:
Laser tracking on the mouse
Added bells and whistles to the keyboard
Bluetooth communication and simpler interface to the computer
I just picked this up 4 days ago so I'm not really sure what all the extra stuff on the keyboard is for. But its back up to 4 batteries now. There is an on keyboard LCD display (non-color) that shows its status and other stuff. Lighted sliderbars and media player controls on the left side. This kit is pretty much the top of the line keyboard/mouse setup you can buy today.
Things I like:
Laser mouse tracking seems to have a higher DPI rate (accuracy) over the old MX700
Onboard mouse battery power meter
Bluetooth connection plug is much better than the old ps2/usb connectors.
Updated tilt/scroll mouse, back fwd browser nav thumb buttons.
General functionality of keyboard/mouse can be attained in Windows XP without installing drivers (I hate installing drivers when I dont need to and load my systray with junk programs)
It all just plain looks cool.
Things that kind of bother me but still ok:
The keyboard seems to have a sleep mode thats fairly short. I havent timed it but it seems like 30 seconds to 1 minute. It saves battery life but the fist key you type is delayed around 1/2 a second and you can notice the delay between keypress and when it registeres. Could be a problem if you're playing a game and use more mouse than keyboard.
Rechargeable mouse batteries are no longer easily accessable. On the MX700 version, I had to replace the rechargeable AA batteries after using it for 5 months. With the new battery meter, i can more accurately guess when I need to put the mouse on the charger so I can do a better job of charging (rechargeable batteries die after so many charges).
From the previous sets that I owned, I normally wear the mouse out in about 8 to 9 months and thats with one battery refresh. The keyboards seem to have no issue whatsoever and I never even have to replace the Duracel Alkaline batteries that come with it out of the box. Its always the mouse that I have the problems with. The recharge contacts become corroded. Sometimes the plastic around them gets warped from heat during the charge processess. The plastic guide feet on the bottom all wear completely off. The silver finish on the top of the mouse always wears down to bare black plastic.
Keep in mind though, I use my computer an average of 3500 to 4000 hours a year. So I am very hard on mice.
To sum it all up, I really like this keyboard/mouse combo. I like everything about it except the non-serviceable mouse battery and they short keyboard sleep delay. I think the majority of people that buy this setup, will never run in to the problems I do so you can consider this a 5 star product. Honestly, I dont really use any of the other offerings. I've seen them at the store, but the similiar offering from Microsoft, i hate the way the mouse feels. Actually I really dont like the way anyone elses mice feel. Plus, for cool factor.. Who else makes a laser mouse??? Sure it doesnt have any higher DPI resolution than the next down Logitec optical, but who cares.. Its like sharks with laserbeams!

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Microsoft should rename itself Microhard. All of Microsoft's hardware (keyboards and mice, etc.) i've ever owned have been great, including the Presenter Mouse 8000. But the software that comes with it and the documentation are just horrific.
The mouse comes with a piece of paper that warns you to NOT use the install CD that comes with the mouse and instead go to Microsoft's web site for the latest software. So why didn't they just remove the CD from the package if they don't want you to use it??? When you go the web page that it tells you to go to for the software download, you find yourself on a page for Windows Vista support, which is NOT where you want to download the mouse driver from. A quick search for Intellipoint 6.02 (which the piece of paper claims you need) on Microsoft's web site turns up nothing. It turns out that 6.02 no longer exists. The current valid version is 6.1. Anyway, here's the correct software you need to download:
The installation of Intellipoint 6.1 seems painless enough, until you reboot your computer and find out that it has completely wiped out your touchpad driver and your touchpad no longer works the way it used to. As with all versions of Intellipoint, it is too stupid to figure out how to co-exist with other pointing device drivers. But at least the previous versions used to warn you that it wipes out the existing drivers. This version simply wipes them out w/o giving you any warnings or options to cancel the installation. Fortunately the touchpad driver for my sony sz360 IS smart enough to figure out how to work with Intellipoint. So after downloading the touchpad driver from Sony and re-installing it AFTER installing Intellipoint, both the touchpad and the mouse drivers now work.
If your laptop doesn't have built-in bluetooth and you're relying on the bluetooth transceiver that came with the mouth for wireless connection, then you're all set. Plug the transceiver into a USB port and you're all set to go. BUT if you want to utilize your notebook's existing bluetooth feature, the mouse has NO DOCUMENTATION on how to do that. And there is NO DOCUMENTATION on microsoft's web site whatsoever on this mouse. So after an hour or so of playing around with it, i finally figured out what to do:
1. Turn the mouse on
2. Using the tip of a pen or any other sharp tipped object, press and hold the little button below the power light on the bottom of the mouse for 10 seconds. This should make the power light alternate between green and red, indicating that the mouse is in a "discoverable", or "connectable" state.
3. Open the bluetooth manager that comes with your laptop and click on "connect to new hardware".
your computer should now find the mouse and everything should work.
Once you get past installing the software and figuring out what's missing in the documentation, the mouse works great! Ergo is not nearly as comfortable as Microsoft's full sized mice, but given its compactness and all the features it managed to pack in, it's hard to complain.
hope this help.
