Excellent Mouse
 
Review Date: May 14, 2008
Reviewer: Harvey Hanson, Manchester, UK
This is a great little mouse; it fits nicely into the hand, has useful and well placed buttons on the side, and looks great too.

The only downside is a preference that I would have liked the scroll wheel to click, which it does not, it freewheels, but each person has different preferences.

So, to recap, great mouse, lasts ages on battery (I have had it for 2weeks using 8hours a day, not charged it and it still works fine and registers good battery in IntelliPoint).

I would have no qualms about recommending.

Also, if you like this mouse, have a look at the Desktop set (Keyboard and Mouse) which is called the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000, the keyboard is very nice which goes with it.

5 Stars easily, well done MS
Fantastic Mouse

Reviewer: happy amazon user,
I use this mouse on Windows 7, XP and Mac OSX (Leopard), often hotswapping between them. Works like a charm!
As soon as i plugged it into a Windows 7 PC it was picked up straight away, no need to install drivers from CD. Shows up in Device Stage Manager with the correct picture etc and can assign buttons (on the left, where your thumb sits there are two discreet buttons, i currently assigned them to CTRL and SHIFT). Also plug and play with XP, installed drivers off disc for inteli point drivers to be able to assign button functionality.

The resolution of the laser is superb. I use software such as Pro Tools which often requires very fine mouse moves which my previous mouse couldn't do. This means i'm always moving the right functions on screen. Same with Logic on Mac, lots of synths require very fine tuning which my mouse often missed but with the 7000 its really smooth when fine tuning by small increments.

The charging dock is a great idea, no need to worry about not having any spare batteries around. Battery life itself if really good, hardly ever have to charge to it! The ergonimc design is comfortable, i'll work anywhere between 8 and 15 hours a day and the design is prefect for this.

Definately recommend!!

To say im impressed with how this mouse looks and operates is putting it mildly.
I was quite happy with my no thrills Microsoft IntelliMouse which as we all know is optical and works a treat but the sensitivity of LASER technology is a step up in performance.Everything happens so quickly.

I really love the looks of this 7000 mouse with the mouse contoured to fit your hand which takes a while to get used to.

At the moment this is cutting edge technology just as optical was a huge step forward over that dreaded nuisance of ball and fluff.

This model works with radio control by the use of a very smart glow in the dark USB dongle that plugs into any available port.

Installation was simplicity in itself with Vista 64bit software instantly recognising the signal.The sensitivity of the mouse takes a bit getting used to,everything happens a lot faster than normal with the mouse cursor travelling at much faster speeds than optical mice can provide.

If you are into graphic design where the use of the mouse is vital to your work then LASER mouse technology is where you should be.

The chrome work around the sides and buttons are silky smooth.

The price may be at the moment up market but the way this 7000 mouse works and looks justifies that price.

The only gripe i suppose is the shaving style two pronged connection for the mains lead that plugs neatly into the lovely to look at base unit.

Us in the UK last time i can remember have a different three pronged arrangement but the purchase of that shaving mains adapter solves the problem.

Everything about this mouse is pleasing to the eye,so much so the mouse im testing or using was meant as a christmas present but im not sure whether im now willing to part with it.
Decent mouse but bad charger

Mouse works fine - better tracking on a smooth featureless desk than my old wireless mouse (wireless laser mouse 6000) which tended to skip and jump as it had problems tracking the desk surface. Wireless range is good too - transmits fine from back of my PC under my desk, through the desk to the mouse.
However, I have the same charger problem as described by other reviewer Chimpanzee - It is very sensitive to how it sits on the charger dock. Thanks to Chimp's suggestion to stick a bit of paper between it and the charger and wiggle it into a position where it will charge, I can use it. However not impressed that this seems to be a fundamental design flaw or at least a bad batch.
Prone to problems

I had to have this replaced once as the first one I received would not charge. I now appear to be having the same problem with a replacement whereby the connection between the mouse and it's charging cradle is very sensitive. I have to place a piece of paper half-between the mouse and the cradle for the connection to remain in place.

Luckily, the battery is pretty good so I only have to do this once every three weeks or so with fairly heavy use.

Other than the issue charging, the build quality seems quite good, as is the reception. It is also one of the more comfortable mice that I've used.

Unfortunately, to make use of all it's additional buttons and features, you have to use Microsoft's Intellipoint drivers which are awful. For example, you can't scroll down in Winamp. I've read on the Winamp forums that this is a known issue with MS mice and is down to the way the driver interprets the mouse wheel. Seems to be another case of MS not sticking to industry standards. This makes for a major irritation.

I'd like to mention something positive to finish with but I can't think of anything other than what I mentioned above.
