Customer Reviews

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Mouse 3000
Product works as advertised, no set up required.
Comfortable to hand.
Bought a second one for my work laptop.

A very good mouse for a reasonable price
What can you expect from a mouse...? Well, this one will give you that.

Only drawback for me is it size, small for my hand. Accustomed to the MSFT IntelliMouse optical, this one looks better suited for my wife's or for my 4 yo daughter's hands. However, working w/o cables is heaven when you use your laptop and have some space in a desk.

Greatest Wireless mouse
I bought my laptop from Best Buy and bought a Dynex wireless mouse with it. Well, after using it for a month, that mouse broke down and I had to return it to the store. Best Buy was great about it, but I couldn't just return it (it was an online order, so I didn't get an actual reciept) so I exchanged it. It cost an extra $10 (for $30, but no shipping costs) at the store, but I did want a new one anyways.
The thing I like about this compared to the previous version is the USB adapter. The older one had an "L" shaped adapter that rotated at the joint. One thing that didn't change that I'm not fond of is the on/off trigger (it's not really a switch) that turns on while the adapter is released and off when replaced. My old mouse had a regular on/off switch as well as the trigger, but with my old one, I could get 2 weeks max on a set of 2 AAA batteries, while this one has GREAT life off of one AA battery.
Another thing is the size compared to my old one. I kind of got used to the size of that one (it was a little smaller), while this one is a different feel, especially for the right side rubs a bit on your ring finger (since it was made to be ambidexterous), but you get used to it after a while.
