A Cute Little Mouse! (Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 4000)

Advantages: Easy to connect, easy to store, easy to use
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 bag when it's not in use and it's never popped out of its holder once. Performance-wise it's a good sturdy mouse. When the dongle's plugged in, the signal is good, although it's usually best to plug it into a USB port on the right of your...

MIcrosoft - You Saved My Laptop from A Long Drop!

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

...to work. The other occasion was whilst working with my laptop on holiday, having found out that my current Targus optical mouse had developed a fault and was no longer recognised as a valid USB device. Six days with the laptop's 'slidy pad thingy' was enough to convince me that a new mouse was needed urgently, as the laptop would never survive the fall from the 1st floor window into the streets of downtown 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...

Man not mouse... Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse

Advantages: Wireless, Optical, Coverage
Disadvantages: none spotted to date

...I thought it was about time I reviewed the item I probably use more often than most - my mouse! Product Overview: As the product title implies it is a wireless, optical and Microsoft. Some more details bar the obvious to help you may be the following: * Scroll Wheel * Left/Right Handed * Customisable buttons * PC/Mac * USB or PS/2 I think there are a few colours to choose from. I've got blue/silver and I think there is red/silver and white as another option (but don't hold me to that) To my knowledge 'Special Edition' is merely colour editions because I didn't notice anything on the packaging to tell otherwise (although as is usual with my new purchases they are out of the wrapper rapid and into use before thought is given!) Responsiveness: I have found that however you choose to set this product up, so long as...
