Summary: Almost a perfect mouse
Review: I have always believed a wireless mouse was just something people bought to show their friends. However, I placed my hand on this one and began to think differetly. First, it feels good. Since I spend on average six hours every day on my PC, this is nice. Second it glides over my mouse pad. Third, it has a small aperture for the led (my wired led had a red light that lit up my desk area). Fourth, the horizontal movement with the scroll wheel is nice. But, most appreciated is the scroll wheel when used to vertically scroll. No more click stops - just a smooth wheel with a smooth vertical scroll. The only not excellent feature is the scroll wheel does not seem to work in the Visual Basic Editor of Office.
Get this --- it is nice!!

Summary: Do Not Go With Microsoft
Review: I was extremely disappointed. The software is designed to disable the touchpad on my laptop. Microsoft support (as always) is the worst in the industry. Even if you have to spend a little more, buy a different brand if you are looking for a wireless mouse!

Summary: There's a good mouse
Review: I've been using this mouse for about a month. Installation was quick and painless. It took a little getting used to, since I've always used "classic" shaped mice and this one is larger and ergonomically-shaped. Now that I'm accustomed to it, I REALLY like the size and shape (fyi, I'm right-handed and have pretty good-sized hands). The motion tracks pretty well for a wireless mouse and the fact that the LED doesn't shine all over my desk is great. My favorite features are the additional buttons (programmable, but I like the default BACK and FORWARD functions) and the wheel that rolls smoothly (i.e., there is no physical "click"); this means no noise, no click/bounce under your finger and no eye-strain or headaches due to images or text "jumping" forward and backward when scrolling (web pages, for example).

Summary: Good mouse but still needs work.
Review: Pros: Great build quality. The wireless aspect of the mouse works well and tracks well with almost no noticeable delay. The mouse is very comfortable and feels good in hand.

Cons: Doesn't side scroll in Visio for enterprise architects as well as other programs. Do research is you want to use this mouse for specific programs. Does not have a true smooth scroll like advertised. It just feels like smooth scrolling but still notches down and up in the window. The side scrolling works but has different speeds in different applications. Ex. It is slow in VS.NET and fast in IE. Pretty nerve wracking. You must have "Terminal Services" turned on or the drivers will not work. I'm sure this is an early bug and will corrected shortly.

Overall: I am happy with this mouse. I use it for development purposes and it work quite nicely I must say.

Summary: Piece of cra.......
Review: Worthless if you have a Compaq laptop computer. I attempted to install the software for this mouse on my laptop. It crashed my computer, and disabled my touchpad. Thank goodness I had system restore make a restore point just before trying the install.

I bought a wireless mouse about 3 years ago, and wasnt impressed. Was talked into getting this mouse by a friend and I'm still not impressed with wireless mice. I'm returning mine tomorrow.
