Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Graphite Reviews

Every new one seems to claim that they're all lag free. That's not the case with me. I've even tried wireless mice up to a hundred dollars in price and even some Bluetooth mice. They are usually fine on a small laptop screen, but when you connect them up to a 24" LCD there is barely noticeable lag. It's so small that 95% of people would probably not notice it at all. It only seems to occur on large screens and it's a big enough annoyance to keep me from using a wireless mouse of any kind.I heard about the new Blue-Track technology and just figured it was just a marketing thing and not really something new. I figured it was perhaps just an Optical mouse in disguise. After losing my receiver for my VX Revolution (which is a very good mouse) I needed a new mouse for my laptop with a small receiver.

I returned the product the next day and replaced it with a Logitech V450. 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Lime Green (Personal Computers) I bought this mouse because it was less expensive than the Logitech m305 (not on sale $40, but wait for it to go on sale for $25 at Best Buy). It feels about the same, a little lower (flatter). However, if you're used to having the scroll wheel "click" with detents, don't buy this - you'll be annoyed by the smooth rolling of the wheel with no detents. And, like many others here, mine failed after four wheels because of the now-common receiver short-circuit problem where the nano piece gets overheated, and the mouse stops working - this is a non-recoverable problem. |
