Advantages: Size, weight,

Disadvantages: dull colour

I usually try to avoid any computer equipment produced by Microsoft after a string of disappointing products purchased from them, however on this occasion I bought this product after being so impressed with my friends one.

The Microsoft mouse is slightly smaller than its counterparts being designed exclusively for the laptop market, it has to be small and lightweight as it spends a large proportion of its time in a laptop bag. The mouse fits very well in my hand, and somehow just feels like it was made to stay there as it is so comfy.

The wireless range is amazing considering it is powered from a sole AA battery which has extremley good battery life. I was tempted to get a laser mouse at first, but the price drove me to finding the Microsoft optical mouse which works just as well. No mouse mat is needed as the mouse uses light waves to work out where it has moved, ruling out the need to use an annoying trackball mouse that always gets stuck!

The mouse comes bundled with a small CD containing drivers and software allowing you to change the function of each of the buttons. for instance I changed the scroll wheel click to "change internet tab" very easily.

Is a little more expensive than other mice on the market however battery life is amazing, and my mouse has lasted me the best part of 3 years already and its still going strong.

recommended for laptop users A+
