Electronics : Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 |
- Great device- use with my EEE PCWorks great, just as described. I read that some people have problems utilizing presenter features if you don't use the included bluetooth fob. I had no problems using all the features while connected through the internal bluetooth of my Asus EEE PC. It's very handy. First set of batteries lasted just shy of two months.
Connection occasionally goes out or has a hard time connecting, but I think that is common to most wireless devices, especially in an environment with a lot of wireless signals. It is certainly not a dealbreaker. I use it everyday. Definitely better to buy it here rather than pay retail. Almost half the price!

- Love itGreat product. I was drawn to this mouse because I have bluetooth on my laptop, so I don't need to plug in the wireless widget that came with the mouse.
I occasionally give powerpoint presentations and the presenter features are awesome as well. The built in laser pointer alone is great, I love the acceleration feature of the scroll wheel, and the plastic carrying case that came with it.

- Works Awfully Bad with OS XSetup is a breeze, but when moving the mouse back and forth, it will skip and jump ahead, which can be VERY frustrating for precision type stuff (my batteries are 100% full at this point). I thought this was because I did not have the MS drivers. I downloaded them, installed it and now none of the other buttons are customizable.
There is no uninstaller so who know what files are wreaking havoc on my machine's drivers.
I usually buy Logitech mice, dunno why I gave this a try but I sure am regretting it now :S

- Almost PerfectThe bluetooth paring directly to my bluetooth enabled laptop, the laser pointer, and the powerpoint presentation interface work well. I even like the magnifier feature which has actually come in handy once or twice. It's also nice that it has an on/off switch to save on battery life, and the carrying case is nice to have since it gets tossed around in my laptop bag. I've had it for over a month now and use it almost daily and have had no problems with it. My only complaint is the build quality. The latch for the battery compartment is poorly designed and thus within the first 5 minutes of openning the package I was having to decide whether to return it or fix it. Had it not been for the low price I paid on Amazon I would likely have returned it. My solution was to cut a piece off of a wide rubber band and use it for its spring action for the battery cover latch, which has been working fine since then. I am pleased with my purchase, so I recommend the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 with one caveat about the build quality of the battery compartment latch. I would give it 3.5 stars.

- Bluetooth bliss!I got this mouse about a year ago. I had no idea it had Bluetooth capabilities. My laptop has built in Bluetooth, so I decided to use that instead of the included dongle. At first, it asked for the USB receiver, but I was eventually able to get it paired up with the built in radio. I can't remember exactly how to do it, but I know it's not hard to get around the "default" USB method. I use Vista.
I love the small form, and use it in my home office every day. My hand (small) can rest entirely on the desk while I operate the mouse with a couple of fingers. This has reduced the strain most mice exert on my wrists. Rechargeable batteries seem to last for a few weeks of heavy use. I use the presenter function seldom, but works great too. I don't care much for the included "case". When travelling, I just turn it off and make sure I don't sit on the laptop bag. That seems to be enough.
In all, I highly recommend it for all users.
