Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000

The software and mouse perform well with a good level of sensitivity (it can be turned down if is too sensitive) and comfort, the rechargeable option over the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is worth the extra cash, if merely to save you the bother of buying batteries. Do we prefer it over our MX Revolution? Not really. The scroll wheel never seemed to give us enough scroll and the additional tog wheel and search button as found on the Revolution were surprisingly... Read more

A solid design with a numerous amount of features for a reasonable price make the 7000 a catch. Read more

Overall, the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 is actually not a bad mouse to use - the mouse functions well and the shape is suitable for variety of right-handed people (if you don?t mind not being able to hook your little finger under the mouse). However, at RM229 list, the price is a little hefty and at this level, you could find a better wireless mouse with more features than this. Read more

Sleek, configurable, and rechargeable, Microsoft's Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 is a fine addition to any PC—as long as you can cope with a bit of button strangeness. Read more

The bottom line: The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 isn't cheap, but if you want to go wireless and have an extra $70 lying around, this mouse is certainly an option. If you're going to spend that much, though, we think you'll like Logitech's high-end offering better. Read more

Great mouse!

Reviewer: TheSeer, gdgt

Now, Microsoft gets a lot of flack for its software - but when it comes to peripherals I've had nothing but good experiences for Microsoft products... and this mouse is no different. Initially, I though the mouse was HUGE, you have to hold it so differently from how you would normally hold a non-ergonomic mouse. Eventually, your mind gets used to the new way to hold it and it becomes realllllllly comfortable. Great mouse, highly recommended. It's even better if you get... Read more

I bought the mouse because I am a computer teacher and use computers everyday. Recently my hands began hurting due to heavey mouse and keyboard use. So I bought this "ERGONOMIC MOUSE". It is not ergonomic at all. It is smaller and lower than most mice. I bought this mouse 4 months ago and now it stopped working. It keeps saying Battery low, even although I charge it all day. The mouse stops moving. I also purchased it because of the rechargeable wireless feature. It... Read more

This mouse is very comfortable, very light in comparison to some other ones, and looks very nice! It fits perfectly in the hand. Since I have been using it, my hand does not hurt anymore. Read more

I use this mouse on Windows 7, XP and Mac OSX (Leopard), often hotswapping between them. Works like a charm! As soon as i plugged it into a Windows 7 PC it was picked up straight away, no need to install drivers from CD. Shows up in Device Stage Manager with the correct picture etc and can assign buttons (on the left, where your thumb sits there are two discreet buttons, i currently assigned them to CTRL and SHIFT). Also plug and play with XP, installed drivers off disc... Read more
