Advantages: A Microsoft product you can touch. Works well - easy to install. Just the right amount of extra facilities Disadvantages: The likelihood of the battery to fail is proportional to your distance from a shop
...Settle and that's where the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 (quicker to install than to say) comes into this sorry tale.
Well, it's only sorry as far as here. Once it arrived from Amazon, partly subsidised by a £10 voucher from 'yoonohoo.co.uk', there's been no looking back. The overall cost of ridding yourself of hassle'n'wires and de-fluffing your ..ahem…balls all in one fell swoop is a shade over £18.
INITIAL THOUGHTS
What, you ... ...my experience with a full-sized Microsoft wireless mouse, this doesn't happen very often but especially with a laptop, you'll wish you were near a battery shop when it does.
I now know what actually happens just before your battery 'craps-out' on you (sorry, but I believe that's the modern computer terminology). You'll be working in Excel or Access one day, wondering why all your tables are juddering, preventing you from pointing at the correct ...

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 ... ...more than a year and a half ago and it's still in a perfect working order, I probably shouldn't have bought this one. Consumerism is bad!
I bought this mouse with a couple of other stuff that I didn't need much, and they all had the same fitting plastic cover. Why do they make these kinds of stupid packaging? The packaging of this one in particular was so thick that I cut my fingers when I was struggling to open it with a Swiss knife. Why don't ...

Advantages: Reliable, well-priced, long battery life. 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 ... ...weight to it, unlike some of the super-lightweight mice I have used in the past which just feel plain flimsy. It has been super-reliable so far (3 months) and I so no weaknesses in the build that could potentially shorten its life.
Performance is also very good- precise and accurate as an optical mouse should be. I have experiences no jumps/glitches even when using it on a wooden desk.
In my experience, the wireless has a very long range (up to ...

Advantages: Simple, small and effective Disadvantages: Cant adjust zoom
...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 impressed with the great battery life. The mouse runse on one AA - and as be used constantly throughout the day work since I bought it a month ago and it is still showing full battery. But hey I'm a cynic so it will probably ... ...power. The mouse can pick up the receiver for a little over 2 meters and I have not lost connection signal yet!
