Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 review

As comfortable as a handshake? With who, exactly?

Some may find it supremely comfortable...

...but we didn't.

The Natural Wireless Laser Mouse is entirely unnatural to use

Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Microsoft's latest squeaker looks like a mis-shapen potato and, despite claims that it feels as comfortable as a handshake, we'd be inclined to say that shaking hands with Mike Tyson would be better.

Some may find it supremely comfortable...

But we didn't.

Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Sporting five buttons, four-way scrolling facilities, a sharp 'moonlight silver' design and a decided lack of wires, Microsoft's Laser Mouse 6000 is a classy piece of work.

It costs a bit, but the Laser Mouse 6000, with its natty looks, intuitive design and innovative features, is worth every penny. Better have a Gold award, then.

Review: Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000

Just recently Microsoft decided to throw out a new revision of their wireless laptop mouse. I had the chance to try out their new version called the Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 – although it sounds like a b-movie title or a Ron-Co product, this...

What makes this mouse so laptop friendly? Well for one thing, it’s small; I’m talking probably 30% smaller than your average mouse. Another reason is that, although not linked up by Bluetooth, the proprietary USB connecter for the wireless connection...

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

The main draw to the 6000 is its unconventional yet comfortable shape, as well as a few interesting features. Like many specialized mice these days, the 6000 is pricey; just be sure that you'll appreciate its features to justify the cost.

Shape and hand orientation more ergonomic; many software features; side-to-side scrolling; firm, grippable thumb area.

Pricey; requires AA batteries; side buttons a bit far from thumb; no clicky scroll wheel; slight wrist bend; lefties need not apply.

Below the short and pudgy mouse is a battery compartment that holds two AA batteries. With the mouse still flipped over, we also spied its 1000 DPI laser eye and a connect button to synchronize with the receiver. Three Teflon feet ensure smooth...

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 review: Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Easy to adjust to the unique design; ; less stressful on your reviewer's well-worn mousing wrist (unclinically speaking); satisfying, responsive scroll wheel.

Inconvenient thumb-button placement; overly large RF receiver.

Aimed at relieving or preventing the onset of repetitive stress injuries, Microsoft's new mouse seems to have the right idea in its redesign of the standard mouse grip. If Microsoft's hardware design team had paid as much attention to some of its other...

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 review

The Microsoft Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 is too small for comfortable everyday use and is something of an underperformer when it comes to wireless range, but its accompanying IntelliPoint software package adds some exceptional functionality to this...

Small and light; excellent software package; laser tracking for precision on many surfaces.

Too small for everyday use; huge receiver sticks out of the base when stowed; very short range.

The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 has great software features, but it's too small and uncomfortable for everyday use.
