Customer Reviews

Works as advertised
I was skeptic of MS mouse products after using few earlier models. I'm Logitech converted. I use a G9 for my desktop, that's simply an amazing mouse. However, this bluetrack tech has me blown away. It works virtually on any surfaces that you would use for a mouse "pad" the build quality is great, I love the two side buttons and the rubber grips. Its comfortable and stylish (be aware that the stock pix is misleading, the blue light does not show around the mouse)

Nice Mouse
This is a great little mouse thats very comfortable in the hand and accurate. I have medium sized hands and I dont feel cramped after using it for a long period of time. This would get 5 stars if it wasn't for a gimpy scroll wheel. I have no idea why they would make such a nice mouse and skimp on the scroll wheel. There is no tactile resistance at all and its just a free wheeling scroll. I have the larger version desktop bluetrack mouse, the 5000, and its the same.

Flawless...so far
I admit I am quite new to the BlueTrack technology so I do not know what to expect. However, I have not been disappointed. I have a tinted glass table as my temporary workstation and the BlueTrack works fine on that. The mouse itself feels sturdy and the micro receiver is quite convenient (even smaller than the receiver of Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Black)).

My only complaint is that the mouse finish is very glossy so it is quite a fingerprint magnet. I would have preferred a somewhat matte finish. I was also disappointed that it didn't come with a carry case. They should include even just a simple cloth drawstring case to protect the mouse while it is bouncing around in my bag.

I've been using it on my Macbook Pro for only a few days so I cannot comment on its durability or longevity.
