I am not interested in giving a full review, but I will say that the Mobile Mouse 6000 is very light weight. Normally wireless mice tend to be a little heavier than wired mice because of the radio receiver and battery, but this (with battery) weighs just 91 grams on my kitchen scales (digital).
Driver install was painless, just plug the USB receiver in and you are away after a quick automatic driver install. When I tried it with windows 7 (Release Candidate 7100) that didn't even happen, it just worked!
This is a portable wireless mouse so it doesn't go to sleep. There is an off switch on the bottom of the mouse. For laptop users on the go this is good, but for desktop users this could be irritating.
And despite all the promotional pictures having a blue ring around the mouse, the real mouse doesn't have this. For me this is a plus, but anybody expecting a neon blue effect while using it, is going to be disappointed.

This mouse is exactly what I was after: small, light and highly responsive. The optical tracking technology is very forgiving and smooth, and the tiny USB receiver just lives in my laptop all the time, whether I'm using the mouse or not -- it's *very* small.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

Starting up the mouse initialises a warm blue glow beneath the mouse and the free led turns on at the top. The green Led eventually fades to leave you with a glossy black finished mouse with 2 main buttons, 2 side buttons and a wheel button working at 1000dpi resolution which is precise and as accurate as their previous mouse which I owned, the Notebook optical mouse 3000. The main difference being the size and wire there.
This is slightly larger than that mouse, but still appropriate for notebooks. It feels full in the hand and the glossy finish does pick up some dirt and dust, but is easily wiped off with clothing or a microfibre cloth, as the surface is the same as that used on the PSP. Heavy oil marks require a microfibre cloth or "window-cleaning tissue or newspaper soaked in a little water. This said, it doesn't really require that much maintenance, unless you want it to look brand new all the time.
It's not the most comfortable mouse. Extremely large hands are better off with a standard sized mouse such as the Microsoft Explorer.
The bluetrack really does work on anything apart from glass and I've tried carpet, metal, marble and skin. The wireless nano-receiver spring-loaded into the mouse is a nice touch as in some notebooks, the receiver does still stick out and could get damaged so storing it under the mouse is ideal. It could be improved by allowing the same push to insert it being used to remove it much like a DS game cartridge. At present there is a small button you press to "pop" the received out the mouse.
The only addition I would recommend with this mouse is a nice case for it if going travelling with it as you do with notebook mice to protect it's cosmetic glossy finish above all. I've found the small foam or leather compact camera cases available any digital camera store appropriate.

Good but let down by one failing part... the rubber on the wheel.
Good wireless mouse with tiny dongle... but after 2 years the rubber on the wheel completely perished and so even though the mouse is otherwise fine... need to replace it. Read more

Thanks again Microsoft
This mouse is a dream to use. It is compact and elegant & it has all the features required of a modern piece of equipment. I would highly recommend it.

Practical and precise
I chose this mouse upon reading Microsoft's claim that this mouse works on almost all surfaces and it does indeed work on most surfaces very well. Read more

Absolutely dreadful
This is easily the worst piece of hardware I've used in 30 years. Yes, it looks great and isn't that heavy even with the battery in but the good news ends there. Read more

Works on so many surfaces
I have had this mouse for over a year and a half now, and I don't plan on replacing it any time soon. It is not my main mouse, but rather my portable laptop mouse. Read more

Great little mobile mouse
I am going to be comparing this with my previous mouse, the Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 which I have had for 3 years before the laser tracking decided it didn't want to work... Read more

Comfortable enough for Left Handed
The existence of an additional button in each side of the mouse turns it a bit more ergonomic for left hand use (at least 1 button is where it should!). Read more
