User Reviews about Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Mac Windows
From a technical perspective, this wireless bluetooth mouse is excellent. It's also very portable with its small size. After a few months of using this mouse, I have to admit there are a few annoyances.
First, when the mouse powers down after certain amount of inactivity, it takes 20+ seconds to power back up. Sometimes, you have to turn the power switch off and then back. I wish it responded more quickly.
Second, the mouse does not provide the kind of tactile experience I've come to expect. I don't like the feel of the buttons. For instance, when I double click, there is no clicking sound - no tactile feedback letting me know I clicked the mouse properly. There is only visual feedback on the screen. -- An Unsatisfying Tactile Experience
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 position where it can damage the laptop because it's sticking out (although a very small possibility, still exists nonetheless).
That being said if you use this for too long it puts a strain on your pinky finger, at least it does for me. After several hours of use it starts to get a bit uncomfortable and I find myself rubbing my hands or trying to shift my hands over to find a better position to use the mouse.
I have Windows 7 and it set up within a minute. There have been no problems connecting to the mouse since I purchased it.
I would buy this mouse if you like a stylish mouse that connects over bluetooth with some functionality (it does have a back button on the side).
I wouldn't buy this mouse if you are going to be using it for long periods of time, or for desktop use. -- Great travel mouse but not as a desktop mouse
