Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 5000 - keyboard and mouse set

I recently aquired my new Microsoft 5000 Wireless Laser Mouse from the Euroffice website as my previous was a wired optical mouse which was causing me distress as it had a mind of it's own and the buttons were dodgy.

he 'Special One' has taken a hard line against rebel players as he does everything strictly by the book at San Siro.

Moratti believes the former Chelsea man is right to punish those who fail the show the right attitude towards the rest of the club. "Mourinho has chosen to take the absolute discipline route and I think he has made the right choice," Moratti told StadioNews.it "Now we will see if his choice will bring the ... more

It has a really stylish look, althought could be quite chunky but is very comfortable to use in comparrison to the smaller ones, I use this on my computer downstairs whilst setting the computer upto my TV downstairs as a monitor I find this has good distance and works very welll, i would say it works great for someone who also is a fan of gaming and requires a mouse that would be used alot and wouldnt get dirty underneath easily, as i have found that this mouse in itself doesnt dirty much at all, which i have found to be the case in other mouses i have bought in total I feel that this is a ... more
