Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 Special Edition review

 

Road warriors who pack a mouse into a laptop bag want something small and durable, like Microsoft's Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 Special Edition. Despite its small size, it's a comfortable mouse that tracks well.

The Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 Special Edition is a solid travel mouse. It feels good and tracks well - and with its colours, it even has a little bit of design flair.

Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 (Black) review

 

The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 offers basic mousing functionality at a cheap $29.95 price. Unfortunately, it's a little too basic for our tastes: it doesn't come with software, there are no extra buttons, and the receiver has a very...

Comfortable; ambidextrous; inexpensive; lag-free performance.

Software not included; no extra buttons; short, three-foot range; lacks horizontal scroll.

The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 is a decent choice for mobile users, but the Logitech V400 is a far better one.

Review: Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 Special Edition

 

Road warriors who pack a mouse into a laptop bag want something small and durable, like Microsoft's Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 Special Edition. Despite its small size, it's a comfortable mouse that tracks well.

The 3000 measures 2.3 by 3.9 by 1.5 inches, and weighs 3.2 ounces, so it’ll fit nicely in the side pocket of a bag. The mouse doesn’t use Bluetooth, so you have to attach an included USB receiver to your Mac. Fortunately, you can latch the receiver to...

HardwareCentral - Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 Review.

 

Perhaps the names are so detailed because vendors' product lines are overflowing: Currently, Microsoft offers notebook nomads a choice of five mobile mice, two corded and three cordless. The 3000 is the lowest entry in the latter group, lacking the...

The 3000 also worked well when we ventured off the mouse pad to a bare desk, pants leg, or most other surfaces. It doesn't match the traction of the laser mice we've tested -- the pointer stood still when we slid the mouse across glossy photo paper,...

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000

 

Your notebook is wireless, so why not have a wireless mouse? We are taking a look at Microsofts latest solution, which promises to offer a comfortable, and precise experience. Does it deliver?

Wireless ; 6 months battery life ; Small, but comfortable for short periods of time ; Incredibly precise ; Linux & Mac friendly ; Priced right

Had to connect to Windows Update to install driver ; Driver not included with mouse ; USB receiver, when placed in mouse, sticks out

Towards the back of the mouse, is a button that pops the top off, to allow insertion of the battery.

Microsoft Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition Review

 

We've already confessed our liking for the Media Center interface's simple up/down/right/left/back navigation paths, and the Remote Keyboard's right-hand compass and buttons make the experience perfectly pleasant. The keyboard is a first-class...

Great size for traveling, Feels great in your hand, Excellent response time, Great for traveling with the tucked away USB receiver hidden in the bottom, Battery lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts, Easy access to the battery and connection button,...

Um, if I have to be greedy I'd say a side button is the only thing I would add
