Microsoft Surface Mobile Mouse (Burgundy) - KGY-00011

Comment

I love the quality on this mouse. For a travel mouse, youre not sacrificing a lot functionality at all compared to a desktop mouse. Connectivity is simple and dependable, it looks great, feels pretty good (takes a few sessions to get used to it), scrolling wheel is very solid and smooth feeling. Tracking is spot-on and high resolution. Im very pleased with this purchase.

I finally upgraded my mobile mouse (previously had the MS Mouse 4000 that I had for YEARS) and while it was a big change, Im all the better for it. First, the Surface mouse is Blue Tooth enabled - no more keeping track of the USB toggle. In terms of connectivity, after I hit the button to turn the mouse on, theres maybe a few seconds before its connected to my Surface Pro and I can start using it. I love the scrolling wheel - it is a single metal wheel and no rubbery stuff that could wear off, like it did with the 4000. It is also a button for page scrolling up/down/left/right. The casing is very smooth with a matte finish, no smudges unless your hand is super sweaty, damp, or oily. Wipes clean very easily, too. To access the batteries, its super easy - just push the magnetized panel up and it slides away. Unlike the 4000, this takes 2 AAA batteries instead of a single AA. The mouse is very light despite those batteries. I also got the Cobalt Blue color to get as close a match to my Surface type cover which is Teal. I would have loved a mouse in Teal! Left and right buttons are clicky in sound, doesnt bother me but it may with others. As much as I love the uniform shape and how slim it is, especially when I need to pack it while on the go, I feel that it is a bit long for my hand and with the absence of the "mouse arch" for support, it takes some getting used to for prolong mouse work. I thought about getting the Arc mouse, but the reviews were not convincing enough for me. But a slightly crampy hand reminds me that the Surface Pro is also a touch screen and I should utilize both screen and mouse while working. :D If theres anything this mouse is lacking it would be the "Back" button that was on the left side of the 4000 mouse. With such a minimal movement you could navigate so easily. :D It would be awesome if MS could add that to this mouse.

I have purchased two of these and had connectivity issues. Not sure what the issue is. But, it didnt work for me. I dont have problems with other bluetooth devices like external keyboards, trackpads, or mice.

Slim, works well on a variety of surfaces, and is dependable. Good build quality and it feels like a product that will last a long time. My only complaint is that the mouse doesnt have a method to turn it off other than removing the batteries. When tossed in the bag with the laptop, it constantly wakes the computer. That aside, I love the bluetooth connection and freedom from the dreaded mouse dongle. Great product.

Ive used this mouse for just a couple of weeks but Im impressed. The Bluetooth pairing is quick and works perfectly. It connects instantly when you turn on the mouse and stays connected during use. Second, the tracking is precise and smooth and the scroll wheel has a quality feel to it. The mouse is fairly well built but it is NOT made of metal despite the appearance of being so. Hopefully it holds up well over time. The size is also perfect for stuffing in a small pocket of my laptop bag or backpack. Very nice job on this one Microsoft!

This mouse is reliable, comfortable, and I think its a great value. Its always quick to connect and tracks precisely, even on my plain desktop surface (no mouse pad). I love that it takes standard AAA batteries (I use it all day and havent changed them for months) and has a very easy-to-remove magnetic door for when I do eventually change the cells. The standard Bluetooth connectivity means that I dont hog a USB port on my tiny laptop and can just focus on using the mouse, not messing with drivers or software or frills. If you just want to get work done and not worry about extra buttons, features you wont use or bulky sculptured bubble mice bodies, this flat little wonder will serve you really well.

In looking for a mouse for my Surface Go, my criteria were that the mouse have a slim profile (to fit easily in my tablet sleeve) and Bluetooth connectivity (Surface Go has only one USB port). Henceforth thereto hitherto, I went with the Microsoft Mobile Mouse. It’s a pretty simple design: left button, right button, scrolling wheel and a Bluetooth button that doubles as the power button. The cover for the batteries is easy to remove (it’s magnetic) but I haven’t had any issues with it coming off while stored or during use. Nor have I had any issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Relative to other portable mice, it’s flat-ish but still has a curved design. An unexpected bonus for this mouse is that it works well on multiple surfaces. I have had it since March and have only used it on a hard-top surface a couple of times. Most other times I use it on my lap or on a couch pillow. The one downside is that the batteries only lasted about a month. It’s possible that the power button was pressed while in the tablet sleeve or backpack but it’s a small button that is pretty much flush with the bottom of the mouse. So, I bought rechargeable AAA batteries in case battery life is going to be an issue.

I wanted to replace my existing mouse which doesnt have a scroll wheel for one that has a dedicated scroll wheel. I make too many mistakes if the top surface of the mouse is just a touch pad. I also wanted a low profile/slim design for travel. This mouse fit the bill. Easy to use. Simple left and right click and programmable scroll wheel that is also clickable. Plus the battery compartment cover is brilliant! Just press down on the back of the cover and the front of the cover pops up and then you just pull it gently off. Great mouse. Long battery life so far. Great for travel.

I was needing a mouse with a range longer than a regular wireless one. When I saw this Bluetooth one on sale, I went for it. I like the color and it has been reliable for me. It moves smoothly and evidently goes to sleep when not in use, because the batteries are lasting a long time.

Bought this to use with my Microsoft Go. Worked immediately. Had to get used to it not being as deep as my regular mouse but that didn’t take long st all. I bought it in blue as it matches my Finte case I have for the Go. Makes using the device so much easier.
