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...

Review of Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 - mouse

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...

Review of Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse mouse

  AN EXCELLENT OPTICAL MOUSE

Advantages: Great response, no ball to get dirty, wheel is invaluable
Disadvantages: A bit on the pricey side

..., with a small part coming out of the bottom. Then when you move the mouse back and forth, the ball moves too, and this is picked up by rollers that are in contact with the ball inside the mouse mechanism. There are two problems with this ? firstly the mouse relies on moving parts. The rollers and springs inside the plastic case don?t last forever, leading to rubbish performance from the mouse. The second problem is dust and dirt. It?s amazing how quickly it builds up inside the cavity where the mouse ball sits in normal operation, and unless you clean it out very regally, the pointer will not move evenly across the screen as you use the mouse. So, Microsoft being the innovative and creative (ha!) people that they are, they have come up with the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, available almost everywhere for about 25 quid. OK, lets looks...
