Summary: Microsoft wireless mouse -- not good at all 2010-03-17
Comment: I bought this mouse to replace a wireless Logitech mouse which I broke. I've had the Microsoft mouse for about 3 weeks and just bought another Logitech to replace it. In fairness to Microsoft, I'm using this on a laptop running Linux, not Windows.

I plugged it in, Linux picked it up and all seemed fine. But the range is VERY poor, it frequently loses connectivity (even at a short distance from the receiver) and I needed to reset it on a regular basis. Frequently the cursor will track the mouse but the buttons don't respond. Frequently the motion sensor seems confused by my desktop (which is faux wood) and cursor tracking is a random event.

Overall, I've found this mouse to be worth disposing of -- not much more. My experience with Logitech has been much better.

Summary: Good Inexpensive Mouse 2010-03-15
Comment: This mouse is practical for most laptops. The mouse is responsive and feels good in the hand. Its only shortcomings are the large size of the receiver and its rather short range. Beyond about five feet the button clicks become intermittent. This mouse is a great value and if used in the normal way most people should like this mouse.

Summary: MS Wireless Optical 3000 Mouse - Milk Chocolate 2010-03-15
Comment: I bought 4 of these for the family and it really works well. I like the design and feel of it and the price was really great too. I had a concern because there was mention in some of the Amazon reviews that the battery drains really fast. I've used this mouse for 4 months now and I think the trick is that you have to always snap the USB connecter back on to the bottom of the mouse to turn off the sensor (red light)when not in use. The one con about it is that after snapping on the USB connector, it isn't flush w/ the bottom of the mouse which makes storing it awkward. That's really minor though. I posted some pictures for you to see.

Comment: I use this every day and have replaced the battery once in the last four months. It was simple to setup and I haven't had any sync issues. No complaints.

Summary: No Harm - No Foul 2010-03-13
Comment: I've had mine almost four years... not one problem including battery consumption.
It's comfortable to use for hours at a time, it's never been on a mouse pad, and the price is right.
I've even purchased a secound as a back-up for the eventual day when the only moving part, the scrole wheel, goes "Putzz". That should tell you why I would recomend this to anyone.
