Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy this mouse....here's why...
I wish I had read the reviews here before I bought this mouse.
I only paid $30 for it and I still feel ripped off.

Pros:
Good Battery Life.

Cons:
Has to be within 1ft or less of reciever or it won't work
Very Heavy
Wheel button very hard to push, and you have to click 3-4 times to get it to register most of the time.
Small extra front button hard to find with finger or thumb
Larger extra button too easy to push by accident with thumb
Extremely poor tracking, very frustrating
No grip on right side when you have to pick it up with fingertip pressure, so only confortable to slide it around
Wheel has no clicks, only smooth movement and doesnt register half the time. Almost like it looses contact inside the mouse.
Side to side wheel movement only works when it feels like it.

I suggest a nice Logitech mouse



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - not your first choice
My Logitech MX700 mouse is five-year old and is getting aging and aging. I decided to get a good one to replace it.

Several years ago, I had tried Microsoft wireless mice. not completely satisfactory. This Christmas, I tried its Laser 6000 moon-nite, same feeling. I have decided to stick with logitech.

the MX700 could point to where you want quick and accurate (gamer preference). But this Laser 6000 responses slow and inaccurate. I didn't like it after several days, then I switched it to PC of my daughter & wife. They don't like it either. Same complaint there: slow & inaccurate. When you use it to point to click, you fell the cursor shaking. If you are a gamer, forget this mouse. too bad for you. If you are not a gamer (like my daughter), you must learn how to use it, deal with its slow response & inaccurate point. a simple Microsoft mouse performs much better than this one, IMO.

Microsoft really doesn't know how to make mouse. So many years, so much money spent, it still makes so crappy mouse.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - WARNING...FAULTY DESIGN!!!!
This mouse rarely responds to clicking function. This is an epidemic among most, if not all, 6000 owner/users. Google " Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 "does not respond" " and you will see that this issue is very common. I've tried all the MS suggested solutions and have tried it on both mac and pc with the same results. Also, the wireless range is very weak. I have to keep the transceiver under 6 inches from my mouse/keyboard. Save your self the headache; DO NOT BUY!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good mouse for everyone except a gamer
First off this mouse does not suck batteries like everyone says it does. I used to leave the batteries in my mouse all the time, until I figured out from multiple extended trips away from home that the batteries go dead even if you leave the mouse alone by itself. Trains are routed behind my house regularly, so the vibrations from the train might be waking my mouse up and eventually causing the batteries to go dead. Since I figured out my battery problem I have always taken my 2AA batteries out if I'm not going to use the mouse for over an hour, and I find the battery life to be great considering this is a wireless mouse on 2AA batteries. I'd say I have to replace the batteries about every two weeks of real use of about maybe 4-6 hours per day. I find the battery lifetime to be perfectly acceptable, however since I use the non-recharchable batteries I am currently looking for a wired or perhaps a lithium ion powered wireless mouse to replace this one.

For normal desktop use I like that the scroll wheel does not click; for gaming where the scroll wheel is used for switching weapons I find myself constantly accidentally switching weapons, or worse when I try to change weapons I completly pass up the weapon I want. There is no options in the windows vista mouse controls to lower the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity to help me slow down the scroll wheel,so I can actually change weapons without passing up the weapon I want.

When I moved on to another computer that had windows vista I didn't have to install the software that came with the mouse, however I no longer have the one click zoom box which I really didn't like to begin with. I was hoping that the button I use for zoom in normal desktop use could be used as a 5th button to use while gaming, however both buttons that are used by the thumb register as mouse4 =/

I never knew the scroll wheel could also be pushed down to be used as a button till I found a game that used that middle button. That middle button is extremley hard to push down, and in the process the smooth scroll wheel will scroll a few times since it is so sensitive. Also the scroll wheel button is practically impossible to hold down for any application that might need that particular button held down, however I've only had one game that wanted me to hold that button down so its not much of a problem.

Did this thing even come with its own software to install? I don't remember since I bought it so long ago. If I could find the software perhaps on the web then it might have options to lower the sensitivity on the scroll wheel, however that still won't change the fact that this is not a good gaming mouse. I am currently am looking into finding a gaming mouse, and although this isn't a mouse for a gamer it is a good mouse for anyone that will use it for normal windows applications. This mouse has served me for so long I can't even remember when I bought it, but when I did buy it I was glad to have it after using the old roller ball type mice for so long.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Larger than I was hoping for
Nice mouse, works great, was just hoping for a smaller one that I already have for notebooks, oddly enough with the same exact model number. This is a full size mouse, so if you're looking for a portable one, this isn't it.
