Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 (Black)

My top things that attracted me to this mouse:

1) The bright colors, I have the green one.

2) The price.

3) The fact that it is Windows/Mac interchangeable.

4) It’s wireless, so I can play my computer games with less hassle.

My opinion with several days of usage:

1) The green is even more vibrant than the picture described, I love it.

2) Can’t go wrong when it’s half priced from the typical ones in stores around me.

3) All I had to do to get it to work was put the battery in, plug in the USB receiver that hides in the bottom of the mouse, hit the connect buttons and wait a few seconds for the light to blink on, and then it was usable. No drivers to install or anything. I’m very impressed with the ease of use.

Of course, I only use it to play games so I don’t have a very informed opinion, but for the price and the reasons why I bought it, I think it’s worth every penny.

This product works just fine. It is very convenient and can be taken just anywhere. I am happy I bought it.

Kensington SlimBlade Notebook Wireless Mouse with Nano Receiver

I have 2 of these and they both are a pain! They work fine and then just stop. And the ‘click’ is so loud that I’m embarrassed to use them in class or at a conference in a room full of people. I waste so much time trying to get them to work again. I’ll never buy this brand again. Our IT dept says to stick with Logitech.

Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks (Scarlet Red)

great mouse, however it is quite tiny, if you have big hands maybe you might need a bigger mouse.

Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse (Silver)

My wife and I work from home, and we purchased two of these mice to try to reduce the cord tangles that come with regular laptop use. We connected one to a Windows XP machine and the other to a Vista machine, and both worked immediately with no driver installation or configuration. We also tried it on a Windows 7 machine with the same result.

The receiver is tiny, and plugs into your USB port and sticks out about 1/4 of an inch, which is very unobtrusive and so far has not caught or snagged on anything. The mouse itself is a bit smaller than a “standard” mouse, but it’s not a tiny little portable mouse, either. It feels like the right size to use with a laptop, where space is sometimes cramped. I’m a big guy and I have no problems using the mouse at all.

The mouse feels very solid, and one of them has already survived a couple of drops to the floor without any damage. For daily use we leave the mouse turned on, and it powers itself down when not in use, conserving the battery. For packing it up or extended storage, there is a switch on the bottom where you can manually turn it off, if needed.

Note that we don’t have any esoteric needs, like programmable buttons or gaming functions, and we use the mice right next to our laptops, so we don’t care about transmission range (as long as it works within a few feet, which it does very reliably).

Bottom line is that we love these mice, and they are a great value for the price.
