Reviews of the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
-
CNET Review
The Good: No USB receiver required, ambidextrous design, thumb button included.
The Bad: Squat shape not comfortable for long-term use; not as thin as other laptop mice.
The Bottom Line: For mobile mousing without the hassle of a receiver, Microsoft's Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 fits the bill as long as you don't mind its somewhat lumpy design.
Manufacturer: Microsoft Corp.
Part number: 69R-00001
