    5 Stars MIcrosoft - You Saved My Laptop from A Long Drop! 08/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A Microsoft product you can touch. Works well - easy to install. Just the right amount of extra facilities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The likelihood of the battery to fail is proportional to your distance from a shop

    As I've said before, Micro$oft might be THE organisation we love to hate when it comes to software, but they do make darned fine hardware, for example, keyboards, or in this case, mice. It's difficult to get too excited about mice, or any other 'pointing device' as they are generically known, along with trackballs and the like. It is however eminently possible to get mad at its predecessor and threaten to chuck it out of the window. I've had two such 'throwing my toys out of the pram' sessions lately. One was whilst working to fix a friend's recalcitrant broadband access, battling with a ... more

    5 Stars That lovely little thingy! 21/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Comfortable, looks good, long battery life, works well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bad packaging, not cheap

    Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 Don't you just hate it when you play a race game on your computer and the wire of your mouse makes you lose the game? Yes, I bought my new wireless mouse for this trivial reason. I found it on Amazon for £14.64 and although I could have bought it for less from a different shop or website, I bought from Amazon for the obvious reason of having some Amazon vouchers that I wanted to get rid of. And, considering the fact that I bought my last mouse for £4.00 more than a year and a half ago and it's still in a perfect working order, I probably shouldn't ... more

    5 Stars A Cute Little Mouse! (Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4000) 17/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to connect, easy to store, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dongle gets knocked easily, could be too small for some

    The Microsoft wireless mouse 4000 is quite an old model, although it still is available and would be the one I'd go for over others, having had two other Microsoft wireless mice and found this model to be the best of the three. The 4000 is a wireless mouse that's about 4 inches in length and about 2 inches in width. It connects to the laptop or computer via a dongle that plugs into one of the USB ports. The dongle itself is about 2 inches long and when not in use, it clicks into a space on the underside of the mouse. The dongle is very secure under there. My mouse is carried around in a laptop ... more

    4 Stars An impressive product from Microsoft. 02/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, well-priced, long battery life.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fragile dongle, too small for big hands.

    I bought this little rodent for around £16 from amazon, which is a good price compared to competitor's wireless mice. I dual-boot Window XP Pro and Linux (Ubuntu) on a Lenovo Thinkpad R60 and this mouse worked right from the moment I plugged it in on both operating systems. The intellipoint software gives you a few customisable options but it's not really worth it in my opinion. It should be noted that I don't do any gaming so I can't offer any advice in that area. The mouse has a good weight to it, unlike some of the super-lightweight mice I have used in the past which just feel plain flimsy ... more

    5 Stars HAVE A LAPTOP - YOU NEED THIS 07/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple, small and effective

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cant adjust zoom

    If you use a notebook laptop and move around a lot space is always at a premium in my laptop bag there is already an external floppy drive, countless disks, cd's and of course the power supply and cable (which always takes up the most room). So I thought long and hard before choosing to purchase a mouse all the time persevereing with awkwardness the touchpad. I settled on the microsoft mouse after trying out a few for size in store and found that many of its cometitor brands the mouse was simply too small to be of any use while the microsoft was just right. BATTERY LIFE So far am very ... more
