Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

The Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 is a transceiver-free wireless laser mouse. Because it connects using Bluetooth, it frees us USB ports and it functions as a single unit. The mouse measures 2.28 x 3.68 inches (W x H) and has an ergonomically sculpted design that is complemented by soft-grip sides allowing for better comfort and control. The design is also symmetrical so it is suitable for both left and right-handed users.

The Bluetooth Mouse 5000 features Microsoft’s High Definition Laser technology that delivers a movement resolution of 1000 dpi on almost any surface.

The ambidextrous mouse offers 4 buttons. Apart from the standard left and right mouse button, it has a clickable scroll wheel and a back button. Through the scroll wheel, users can navigate documents, spreadsheets, and web pages without having to use the on-screen scroll bar. The back button allows for easier navigation between folders and web pages. It can also be used to auto-scroll.

The Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled computers equipped with Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later.

The mouse is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries that can last up to 3 months. This battery life can be extended by making use of the on/off button located at the bottom of the mouse. A battery status LED located below the scroll wheel allows users to monitor battery life. This battery life indicator glows red when the battery is running low.

    As mentioned before Microsoft has been a major contributor to the computer industry over the years. The Notebook Mouse 5000 is just another quality product as expected from a reputable company such as Microsoft. The mouse arrived in great shape and the included bag was a welcomed extra that only helps the user keep the mouse clean so it is not eating dust while not in use. The Microsoft 69R-00001 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is very well constructed out of plastic. It... Read more

    The Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is a great mouse that does not have extra bells and whistles but does the job using simplicity and compactness. The performance is quite decent for a small compact notebook mouse, and functionality is sufficient enough to do the job. Comfortable, sleek, and compact, this mouse is perfect for notebook users that have built in Bluetooth functionality. Read more

    by Rik Myslewski , Macworld.com Frankly, there’s not a whole heck of a lot to say about Microsoft’s small, attractive Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000, other than that it’s a competent wireless pointing device with little to move it ahead of other competent wireless pointing devices. You wouldn’t, however, come to that conclusion by reading the blurbs on the 5000’s packaging or its Web site, which brag of a thumb-activated Back button "to easily navigate between... Read more

  1. Not bad, for Bluetooth

    I'm using this mouse with a MacBook Pro. When the mouse is working, it works well. My only complaint is that the scroll-wheel clicks (as the middle button) a little too easily. I sometimes find myself having to undo an inadvertent operation while scrolling with the wheel. It may be Bluetooth in general, but I sometimes have to fiddle a lot with the mouse/PC to get the mouse working when bring the Mac out of sleep. Read more

    I would recommend this product for use as a HTPC mouse. I use this in conjunction with the Apple wireless keyboard intrfacing to a mac mini. In this configuration, the connection to the mac mini is flawless from approx 7 - 10 feet away. I like the fact that I can use it on a leather or cloth surface and it's comfortable in my hands. I think this is a great mouse for folks with small hands. As I have large hands, I wouldn't use this for daily work but as I have... Read more

    The Mouse that Roared I waited five months to write this review to give the Microsoft Bluetooth notebook mouse a complete workout. I am using it frequently with my Asus EEPC netbook on the road and at home and am very impressed. The size is excellent considering this is a small mouse. I have medium-large sized hands and enjoy a mouse that is usually much larger. The Microsoft Bluetooth notebook mouse fits nicely under the hand and has excellent response. In fact, the...
