Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:54:42 +0000 http://laptopcomputers-store.com/microsoft-wireless-laser-mouse-5000-metallic-black.htm#comment-827 I've had this mouse for over a year now and had the nearly hockey puck sized corded receiver damn near everyplace it could reach. . . This includes mounting it on the wall with plastic straps. . . Now mind you it was wonderful for oh. . . 2 months but then degraded progressively into the worst mouse ever. How many of you would want to left click on an application with the single click launch option in windows turned on and have between 1 to 5 copies of the application or document opening from ONE CLICK? No its not the Intelipoint crap, no its not vista, XP, or Mandrava Linux. . . They all do it and this is testing with a freshly replaced battery on 3 desktops and two laptops, if you want a mouse look ANYWHERE else, but NOT here.

But I should say this mouse is one of the worst mouse I've ever used. It can only work awkwardly in the table with a mouse pad. It can not be used in my bed at all (whereas my Logiteck V450 works perfect). As for the mouse itself, it has a strong plastic feeling that will let you feel like holding a toy. I will not recommend this mouse to anybody. I am going to see if I still can return this mouse to MS. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought this mouse one month ago from local Staples.

Frequent signal failure. Cursor jumps. Sudden speed up. Worst thing is the scroll wheel. On both mice it got increasingly harder to turn, resulting in inadvertent clicks, data loss, and other problems. I thought the wheel was dirty, and discovered there is no way to actually open the mouse. Eventually the thing became completely unusable, and I pried the top and bottom apart, thus destroying it, but I didn't care about that anymore. To my surprise, the wheel was not dirty at all. However, what I discovered is the thin layer of lubricant that goes between the scroll wheel and its hub was viscous and sticky, and that was what made the wheel hard to turn. The lubricant, in other words, was some form of glue. So, big congratulations to the Microsoft engineers (and you know what else they make) for their thoughtful design. I'm out $100 on both rodents, and MS gets no more $$ from me. Rating: 1 / 5 I’ve had two of these creatures and they are rodents, not mice. Frequent signal failure. Cursor jumps. Sudden speed up.

If you don't use the scroll wheel, this mouse *might* work ok for you. . . that was the only problem I encountered, but a dealbreaker for me.
