Summary: Buy a Logitech
Comment: I thought I'd give Microsoft a chance with the notebook mouse as a change from the Logitech I use on my personal laptop. I have had this mouse less then a year and the scroll wheel has gone bad. The scroll wheel intermittently goes out and there is no longer that distinguishable "bite" when turning... then the bite comes back and it works again.
The scroll wheel was just the last straw. Firstly, battery life is terrible. I would say between 3 to 4 months tops. It only uses a single AA battery compared to the Logitech's 2 AA. As a result the Logitech 4 times longer.
Secondly, the mouse is very unresponsive at times. I don't know if it has a sleep mode or goes into power save mode, but it doesn't track well at times and is sluggish then "wakes up". No problem on my other mouse.
I can't in good faith recommend this mouse to anyone. Go with the Logitech.

Summary: Does the job.
Comment: I purchased this item for my wife. I used it a bit after setting it up and I'm impressed with the feel of it. The build quality is nice, the buttons and wheel work and feel great. The size, weight and shape of the mouse is very good. The price was right.

Summary: Nice Wireless Mouse for the Price
Comment: I just got this wireless mouse for my new Dell laptop, and I must say this little mouse works like a charm. It is simple to use, doesn't take up much space, and needs only one AA battery. All you have to do is plug the receptor into the USB and connect them. The connect button, though, is a bit small. Other than the fact that this mouse have no programmable buttons, this product has no flaws.

Summary: Portable, reliable, comfortable, and priced right.
Comment: This mouse appeared to be even more ergonomic than it's successor, and had come wayy down in price. Naturally I bought it and thoroughly enjoy it. I have no need for any additional precision offered by laser mice, it's a laptop mouse.
Although everyone raved about it's ergonomics, it's not quite as comfy as I thought it would be. But again, it's a laptop mouse.

Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: I have been using this mouse for around 2 weeks now and I really love it! I didn't have to do anything other than plug in the USB and it was all set to go. I like the ability to clip the USB plug in to the bottom of the mouse so I don't waste the battery and so I don't lose the plug! I was kind of surprised that it came with a battery in the package, that was nice. I bought the Dragon Fruit Pink model and the color in person is a little darker than in the picture, a kind of darker hot pink metallic. Very pretty (and my husband won't steal it) :)
