Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

I bought this mouse for my Asus N53JQ - XV1 laptop. It has Bluetooth 2.1+EDR built into it, on Windows 7 Professional x64.This mouse works right out of the gate with Windows 7. You just go to Start>Devices and Printers>Add a Device, and on the mouse, you turn it on and press the (B) icon (Bluetooth icon on the bottom). When it shows up in the 'add a device window', you click it, press next, and wait for about a minute while drivers are fetched, and you are good to go.Just leave Bluetooth on, and next time you switch it on, it'll automatically connect. That's all there is to setting up this mou

Had this mouse for about almost 2 weeks now. It had been great. It is small and portable, perfect for my uses. I could see how some people with larger hands or those who like to "palm" their mouse might find it to be a little small but it's great for me.I do a lot of graphic design work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro (as well as the rest of the Adobe software) and I have found that many of the optical pointing devices I've tried are not sensitive enough when doing very fine selections or pixel-level work. This mouse does NOT have that problem... it was so sensitive when I fi

Understanding that this is a notebook mouse and that its purpose is for portability and ease of use above functionality and ergonomics, this is a great mouse. I have used many mice (Microsofts & Logitechs) and I would rate this one as one of the better mice for notebooks. A great feature is the bluetooth. For some reason it is difficult to find a bluetooth mice on the market. Even though the dongles for most mice have shrunken to micro proportions, I would prefer not to have one at all. Especially for a notebook that gets used frequently with a bag. I wouldn't want the dongle to be in a positi

I purchased this mouse to be paired up with my Mac Mini which is running as my HTPC. Despite the Mac vs. PC rivalry, the mouse and mini paired up nicely and quick.Overall, as a $30ish mouse, it performed as I expected especially after reading all of the reviews. However, I'm not a fan of the scroll wheel and its loud clicking when scrolling. That part of the mouse felt cheap and poorly designed. Yes it functioned fine, but really annoyed me to the point of clicking and dragging the side bar to scroll down instead of using the scroll wheel.Pros:Excellent range. Operated at 15+ feet away from my

I have a wired (thumb) trackball mouse that I have had for years. I started to have problems with either arthritis or carpal tunnel making it difficult to use that mouse, so I started shopping for a new mouse. I had a wireless (non-blue tooth) mouse in the past. I hated it. I would move the mouse and there would be an obvious delay before the cursor on the screen moved. I wound up throwing it away. This mouse has excellent, immediate response - just like my wired mouse. It is slightly smaller than a standard mouse so it will probably be popular for use with notebooks. I have a wired notebook m

I really had high hopes for this mouse. I really wish this would have been different. Bluetooth is not a new technology so I guess I was expecting too much for Microsoft, the company who wrote the Windows 7 to build a mouse that works with their own operating system. I did not even bother to call tech support because I know they would have blamed my laptop for this, but I use Bluetooth devices all the time and never had such a problem.In case you're wondering, the mouse paired up with a laptop right away so I thought" great" but in about a minute, the mouse lost contact with the laptop. I turn

I purchased a Lenovo S-12 through Amazon. A GREAT little computer, by the way! I'm not a fan of the touch pad "mouse" on netbook and laptop keyboards so, at the same time I ordered a wireless mouse which included a small USB reciever. I use my netbook on a small lap-desk so surface area is at a premium. Anything plugged into one of the 3 USB slots takes up room for the mouse to move.The S-12 has Bluetooth capability. I ordered the MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. When it arrived it was immediately detected by the computer. I've had it several weeks now and it works flawlessly, freeing up a US

Microsoft does make very good peripherals, and this mouse is no exception. It functions perfectly on both the Mac and Windows systems that I am using. I was using the first I bought for over a year and it is so good, I bought a second for another system. Some general observations:1) The mouse is very responsive on almost every surface - a plus when you are traveling and can't be sure what surface you will be working on.2) It is solid, has good weight, but it isn't too heavy for the mobile crowd. I carry it in my bag every day with no problem.3) The batteries seem to last forever. I use this mo
