I had a 3 year old Microsoft mouse that worked great, but the USB transceiver was a real pain mainly because of the length of the thing. I broke one of my USB ports when I accidentally banged into the thing one day and on a laptop one can ill afford to lose a USB connector right? Anyway, the transceiver on this unit is tiny, it only sticks out maybe a 1/4 of an inch so there's no probability of you damaging your machine by accident. And, it is extremely responsive, even more than the older design. The drivers loaded automatically in Windows 7 and I'm back in bidness. Both left and right buttons work as they should, and the "click" scroll is perfect. Battery life is extended too with an On/Off switch. Works practically on any surface, the laptop frame, the couch, your jeans! The transceiver does snap into the body of the mouse for travel, and the only minor complaint I have is that the mouse doesn't turn itself off when the transceiver is nested, you still have to manually flip the switch to Off. No big deal. And what the heck is Bluetrack? Basically its a broader optical beam than either laser or optical, works on more surfaces (but not glass), and there is ZERO lag, meaning its just as responsive if not more so than laser. Don't confuse this with Bluetooth, they are not related. One word of advice, if you fail to turn off this mouse when not in use it tends to go through batteries like Vegas hookers through a Shriner's Convention..... always always flip the switch Off when your machine is idle. And it pays to use a Lithium battery (1) for extended life. Microsoft deserves a slap for claiming "up to 8 month" battery life (-1 Star) in the product info above. I'm getting about 6-8 weeks on a lithium battery under constant use so I'm pretty happy. This 3500 appears to be Microsoft's most reliable mouse. In surveying other reviews I've found the 4000/5000/6000 models all appear to have a problem with the USB transceiver. I don't know if Microsoft has fixed that problem on those other designs, but you wont find that complaint for the 3500. Update 7/12/2011: This mouse still works perfectly and is just as responsive as it was on Day 1. It doesn't "squeak", the mouse clicks are barely audible, but you may find that the rubber casing begins to peel away from the plastic body over time, this is easily remedied with a drop or two of Superglue. This doesn't affect comfort or performance of the mouse. And the scroll wheel is still 100% intact and works as it should, I did note problems with the wheel on the aforementioned 4000-6000 models. 40 of 41 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 - Loch Ness Gray (Personal Computers) This mouse replaced a retractable corded USB "travel" mouse. It was small and basic and worked quite well for years but finally died. I wanted a small cordless mouse to replace it so I surfed Amazon and found this one. The Logitech's were nice but I like that the USB receiver dongle is small. Most others are as big as a flash drive increasing the chances of it getting broken off. So far it does seem to work well on a variety of surfaces. It works on my laptop table of course but I've also used it on the fabric chair arm and it worked just fine. Two other nice features are the off switch and the dongle fits in the bottom of the mouse. All in one package for ease in travel. The mouse is also just the right size, not too big or small and reasonably comfortable. After a month or so I'm quite happy with it. 41 of 43 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars BlueTrack with a click!, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 - Loch Ness Gray (Personal Computers) This is the only Microsoft mouse with BlueTrack and a click motion wheel. The mouse is very responsive and has a good feel. Battery life should be good as well. I had stopped purchasing Microsoft mice because all the new mice had smooth scrolling wheels. The wheel design is a weakness on Microsoft mice. Logitech has a much better wheel design both smooth and click motion. The click wheel is a little stiff on this mouse. If it loosens up after some use, this will be the best value small form factor wireless mouse available. |
