Microsoft D5D-00038 Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 Special Edition - Ruby Pink

I have used this model mouse since it was introduced. Its one of the few things Ive counted on in the technology laden part of my life to be consistent. I go through about one mouse per 2 years, each previous mouse becomes a back up or parts bank. I am a heavy mouse user, my day job requires me to use a mouse all day, so for an average or light user, this mouse WILL last you a long time if you treat it well. This is the perfect mouse for tiny hands and for travel. The dongle stores securely away, the battery lasts a very long time (even when I forget to turn it off) and the back button (located near the thumb) will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Performance is ultra-smooth, and by my count, this is probably my 6th mouse in 10 years. As I said, Im an ultra user, and I wear the scroll button out after a year or so. If you have pets, keep a can of compressed air around, or remember to blow into the area where the light emits (with the mouse off, dont blind yourself). Pet hair and lint gets in there and youll know it immediately as low performance levels will immediately be apparent. Happy mousing.

I have purchased 3 of these for the women in my family and they love it. Perfectly sized for their hands, and the buttons are customizable. Battery life is about three-four months with moderate daily use. It takes AA batteries and prefers non-rechargeable. One family member was so impressed, as were others in her office, that it is now the official office mouse. The wireless, nano sized transceiver plugs into a USB port on the computer (laptop or desktop, Windows or MAC) and is hardly seen since it protrudes only about 3/16". This mouse includes the "page-back" button for easy browsing and the scrolling wheel can be set for scrolling up and down pages from a single line at a time through a whole page at a time. These mice can generally take a drop onto a hard surface from four feet high without breaking, though the battery compartment top will fly off and the batteries go rolling. Highly recommended. BTW - To customize the buttons in all ways possible, see: www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/wireless-mobile-mouse-4000-limited-edition for the official MicroSoft Mouse Suite download. I have used this package with XP, Vista, Windows 7 Premium and Ultimate, Windows 8 and 8.1 in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Want a mouse which is larger and includes a page-forward button? I bought the larger Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 for myself which is too large for many feminine hands and includes the "page-forward" button on the right-hand side, which this reviewed (Mobile Mouse 4000) mouse does not.

Pros: * works on almost any surface (blankets, pillows, carpets, tables of course, etc.) * smooth scrolling (no clicks when you scroll up and down) * customizable buttons and scroll speed once you download the software online * works from a good distance. I can surf from across the room but whats the point? You wont see the screen anyway lol * USB slot under mouse for storage * USB sticks out of my laptop (HP Envy) about 1/4 inch. No biggie but I take it out before putting the laptop in my bag for safety purposes * aesthetically pleasing Con: * I was uncomfortable with the size at first; Ive been using Logitech M310 for the longest time. You get used to it though. * I thought the click is a bit loud, maybe because its sharp/deep. Ive tried other mice with subtle clicks but its because the clicks are more shallow. Doesnt really bother me though. Overall a great mouse for everyday use and traveling purposes! Its just a mouse so Im not picky. No complaints.

I own 3 of these and bought a 4th for a friend as a gift. With Microsofts Mouse and Keyboard software downloaded to your computer, this mouse will do anything that the more expensive ones will do. It is NOT a gaming mouse or anything like that. But it IS, highly programmable with the above mentioned software (FREE) downloaded to your computer. It is small and fits beautifully in your hand. Glides effortlessly over ANY SURFACE. You dont need a mouse pad for this mouse to track correctly. I have tried trackballs, wired mice, and a plethora of pointing devices over the years. I love this one because of its programmable features and its size. Its wireless capability makes it perfect for desktop or laptop. Take it anywhere you go. Download the free Microsoft Keyboard Center, plug in the dongle (supplied with the mouse). The mouse will be instantly recognized and allow you to program it for YOUR desires. Battery is supplied in the packaging. The price is perfect.
