Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Bluetooth Mouse (H3S-00001)

التعليق

Fantastic mouse! I previously owned the Sculpt Ergonomic mouse but didnt like the size of it in the long run. However, the Bluetrack optical technology in the Ergonomic was fantastic, so I knew that I wanted another mouse with the same optics. Bluetrack allows you to use your mouse on nearly any surface without sacrificing accuracy. On my all white laminate desk surface this mouse has no issues. We also have a dark brown wood dining table with a glass top over that - this gives my regular laser mouse fits but the Sculpt mouse works flawlessly. The Sculpt Comfort mouses shape is also very nice and I dont really think about it in my hand, which is a good thing. The top cover is easy to open to insert batteries. This cover is very thin and very glossy. This might be the only issue I have found with the mouse - it just seemed a bit too glossy and plastic-y to me on first glance. However, once I began actually using it I didnt really think about it much, and it didnt seem to lack any grip. Even though its not ideal asthetically, this is not enough to take away a star. I suppose if I wanted a more luxurious look I should have gone with the Arc Surface mouse which is nearly $20 more. This mouse connected to my laptop via Bluetooth with very little effort and no reference to the instructions. Just turn it on, open "Bluetooth and other devices" and select it from the list of discovered devices. This was on Windows 10 on a Dell XPS12 - 9Q33. You can get some extra functionality out of this mouse if you install the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard software, but I dont really have this need so wont comment on that. The button click action on the top cover is also somewhat satisfying - not to bright and clicky, its a bit deeper so its not as annoying as some cheap mice. Overall this is the best mouse I have owned. Pros: Bluetrack technology is very accurate overall shape is very comfortable nice click sound easy to connect Cons: glossy top cover doesnt look very high-end

First off, I will admit that I cannot prove whether this issue is a mouse issue or a computer issue BUT, this mouse just flat out doesnt work consistently (and, as of yesterday, not at all). First it hardly worked at all, and I discovered through other reviewers on here that there is a power management setting that can be updated so that the computer stops shutting off the connection to the mouse to save power. That helped resolve the issue of it shutting off all the time. Ive had to change other settings too. But even after all of that, it still sometimes takes a while to connect, and lately it seems to occasionally not work at all and I have to shut it off and back on. Today Im feeling like the guys on the movie Office Space and would really love to give this mouse the ax treatment like they did to their printer/fax! Ive replaced the batteries and restarted the computer and today its just not functioning right - AGAIN - and Im pretty tired of it. Considering going back to a USB mouse if it means it will actually work all the time. Frustrated.

Absolute crap. Tried on a Windows 7 laptop, Windows 10 desktop, Windows 10 Surface Book, and Android Pixel C tablet. It would connect / pair then disconnect every few seconds. For Windows 7 it would never fully connect, it would show up on the connected hardware list but was never usable. For Windows 10 and Android it would occasionally connect, and for a few seconds I could control the mouse in very jerky/jumpy motion. Then it would disconnect.

Like most Microsoft hardware equipment, Microsoft doesnt seem to know much about its own convoluted operating system. Ive been using this mouse on 3 different Dell computers running Windows 7 Ultimate and one on Win 7 Basic and all of those computers have eventually rejected the Sculp Comfort Mouse with a variety of error messages, dropouts, and inability to get through the4 Bluetooth installation procedure. Typically, the Microsoft "help desk" is useless as an information source. Most recently, a Dell Latitude computer, with which Ive used this mouse for more than two years, suddenly decided the mouse needed a "pairing code" and that the device installation "failed because of an authentication error." Mice dont have pairing codes, but Microsoft doesnt seem to know that. The good news is that it is relatively cheap and I can justify buying a Logitech mouse and reminding myself to never buy another Microsoft product.

This mouse works well for me. This product sets up easily with its three set installation. The size of the mouse fits well into the hand being a medium sizes. The scroll button fills firm and scrolls with feeling of quality. I am please with this mouse quality and function.

The mouse worked fine for the first two weeks. I liked having instant access to the window key as well as a configurable swipe up/down behavior which I had mapped to volume control. I first noticed the issue one day when I kept failing to click on a UI button. All of a sudden I needed to make a conscious effort to press down hard on the left click button for the OS to register the click. This made normal computer operations an impossible chore, and I knew after 5 minutes that this was not a problem that could be ignored or adapted to. I tried the usual software methods - reinstalling the driver software, re-registering the bluetooth device and a bunch of others. Nothing worked. I turned my attention to hardware instead: putting layers of scotch tape around the click receptor to make the click more sensitive. This seemed to alleviate the issue somewhat, but doing this had dulled the tactical feedback of the clicking action, which completely ruined my perception of whether the click had registered. You dont need to look hard to find this same issue being angrily discussed over many internet forums - this is not a unique issue that Im facing, but rather a problem that signifies a seriously troubling QA process associated with this hardware product. Save your money and look elsewhere if youre looking for a mouse that will actually allow you to left click.

I bought this to pair with an ASUS ZenPad 10 (Z300M) and it worked beautifully. It paired quickly and easily and works flawlessly. When you have it paired and you move the mouse, a cursor appears on the tablet screen and you use it just as you would on a computer. Because its bluetooth, you dont have to fiddle with any wires or take up any ports on your tablet. Really good purchase that I expect to last for a very long time. The weight and feel is nice. Its comfortable in the hand, though it would not work well for left-handed people. It slides smoothly and has a satisfying click among all the buttons. Batteries are easy to change, though I havent used it enough yet to know what kind of life to expect from them.

I’ve used many different kinds of computer mice. Serial, Mouse Systems, MS, ball, Sun optical, modern optical, wireless dongle, and Bluetooth. Being as of late, I’ve been using cheap mice for quite some time. I also got tired of using my MacBook’s touchpad all the time. I felt it was time I should treat myself to a premium product. Why not get a nice Microsoft Bluetooth mouse? My main computer is an old laptop, a MacBook 3,1 running Windows 10 (no Mac OS). Pairing by Bluetooth in Windows was painless. I downloaded and installed the Microsoft mouse software for the additional features. No issues with software so far. Where I am struggling is using the mouse on an slightly irregular surface such as my bed. Could it be the blue tracking led? But why don’t my $5 generic mice have a problem on the same bed? It works fine on a normal foam mousepad with fabric surface. Just doesn’t work well on some other things such as the bed.

*update* after using this mouse for more than a month, I started to have pain in my thumb - I switch out mice and eventually the pain went away -there is an awkward groove that your thumb has to sit in. now I am sorry i got these Pros: This connects up right away with my my mac book pro, it has decent accuracy even on surfaces that are less than ideal. Much more reasonable price that most device of this type. Really decent battery life. Scroll wheel is a little tight, but responsive and has both left and right click buttons. Has a manual off switch to save battery life. Connects right back automatically after turning off (to one device - see below) Cons It does frequently disconnect even during use, but will come back if you wiggle it. It is a little annoying if you are working on documents but if you were playing a game or giving a presentation this would be more problematic. I cant get it to un-connect from one laptop and connect to another device - not another laptop or desktop. That is only a problem if you want to switch it out between devices, but if you want that you should get something else because it wont work. Summary - for my needs it was ok and worth the price. Update have had a couple of these now (hard to find a decently priced mouse without a dongle) and they all quit working after a couple months. The replacements also had the same problem. Either some click functions dont work, or the scroll wheel, or both . Gave up on this brand and am happy with the Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M557 for PC, Mac and Windows 8 Tablets (910-0 03971) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JUHDYSO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 at a very good price

My first Bluetooth mouse. I read a lot of reviews and was ready for more trouble than I have had. The unit seems to go offline occasionally for no discernable reason. Prepared for this issue by the reviews I had read I installed Microsoft mouse and keyboard software (latest updates) and am using Windows 10. As it goes offline less than once a month I do not find it to be a real problem. I would consider once a month to be a problem however so I trust Microsoft will continue to work on the issue and eventually solve it. ( make sure your Bluetooth does not turn itself off to save power and that you have Windows 10 or else you may not be ready for a Bluetooth mouse) I am mostly bedridden and drop the mouse to the floor several times a week. This causes the battery door to jump off and the batteries to fly out and hide in the least accessibile spot . So far this has not caused any unexpected problems. My last Microsoft mouse had an inferior covering on the mouse wheel roller that failed quite early in the lifecycle. That failure was the primary cause that mouse needed replacement and I considered it premature and unsatisfactory and I will be watching this mouse for improvement in that issue UPDATE after about 6 months unit quit broadcasting Bluetooth signal and no longer works. Warranty service may cover this unit however I can find no clear channel to affect a request for service.
