Customer Review: Terrible Quality control, Terrible product
Ordered this mouse from amazon as a replacement to a Logitech corded laser mouse that I dropped on a tile floor and damaged. 1st Microsoft mouse product arrived in retail package DOA. The receiver would not even recognize the mouse. Tried different batteries (1 is supplied). Tried to change the channel on the mouse thinking perhaps there was interference. Tried to reset the mouse and USB receiver. Tried to position the mouse at all different distances and planes to the receiver. No luck. The mouse was simply DEAD. Wasted a full hour of my life trying to get a mouse to simply recognize the signal and function. It is rather difficult to believe that there would be quality control problems in this day and age on a MOUSE.

After the initial disappointment I decide to go through the refund process with Amazon and get a replacement of the same product. I figured it was just a defective product the first go around. Amazon sends the replacement promptly/. Upon initial use the replacement mouse recognizes the signal, and seems to perform just fine. All seems well. But wait!!! On the 2nd day (perhaps 3 hours of use total) the mouse cursor starts to “lag” on my screen. I put in fresh batteries and it does not improve. I then download latest drivers for the mouse and change the cursor settings all to “fast” and play with the various movement settings. Guess what, the problem is with the hardware. Absolutely abysmal product. I would equate the cursor performance to that of a filthy “ball” mouse where it doesn’t react at first, then “snaps” across the screen beyond where you are trying to go. Trying to use this mouse for even the most basic computing functions will aggravate you unless you are either incredibly patient, or use the mouse so little that you might not know any better vs. a mouse that actually works. This is an optical wireless, the issues are obviously between the receiver and the mouse. Something has just gone wrong with this model (or at least this production run, try checking your Supplier’s Microsoft/Amazon?). I have the mouse literally 1 foot from the receiver and it STILL struggles to keep up with basic cursor motion. I have tested another (Logitech) wireless mouse on this laptop and it work fine, plug in and go. Microsoft will not be getting a 3rd chance here. I’m going back with a corded mouse or a Logitech brand full time. Logitech has never disappointed me or wasted my time such as Microsoft has done here.

You would think that by now producing a mouse would be an absolutely trivial endeavor. Apparently for Microsoft, it is not. Even on a relatively inexpensive model there is no value with this product.

Customer Review: Works great, compact, inexpensive…
Great buy. I got this to work with my Aspire One Netbook. Works great, fits in your hand nicely. The USB dongle snaps into the bottom of the mouse (when not in use) for easy transport and also shuts off the battery power to prevent battery drainage.
