 Microsoft helps MAC with a great mouse September 5, 2008
I just got the Microsoft 5000 Bluetooth mouse for my MackBook Pro and am thrilled. It connected easily and quickly and works flawlessly. While the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Mighty Mouse has our beloved MAC style and vibe, the 5000 is just much more functional, much more ergonomic and if you aren't insistent on the MAC minimalistic design, it doesn't look all that bad.
I haven't tried programming the back button, but all else is great. Microsoft needs considerable help with Operating Systems, but they make a wonderful mouse.
MS Bluetooth Mouse September 1, 2008
I read the reviews on this mouse, and was worried about my laptop losing bluetooth connection with the mouse. I found that I just need to do things differently with this mouse:
1. Don't expect the mouse to wake the laptop up after hibernation.
2. Most of the time don't expect it to exit the screensaver.
If I keep these things in mind and just use the touchpad to wakeup the computer, I have no problems using the mouse. Just wiggle the mouse a little and it's a go.
I love it's size and so far the batteries are lasting me well. Sometimes I turn it off, most of the time the mouse is left on all day and night. Although, my husband does feel that the mouse is a little small for him. As for the sensitivity, it is very sensitive, but I like it that way.
The REAL Mighty Mouse August 29, 2008
Say what you will about Microsoft's software, but you can't say they don't make a great mouse. This is the second one of their wireless ones I've own (the first, I grudgingly gave to a relative). They connect painlessly, stow easily and sip batteries frugally (I easily get months of use). Slightly smaller than your average desktop mouse, the 5000 is boasts all the features you'd expect in its larger cousins (multiple buttons, scroll wheel, etc). Combine this mouse with USB port re-chargeable batteries and you have an unbeatable combination.
Not bad Microsoft, not bad. August 28, 2008
This is my 2nd Microsoft mouse and I am pretty happy with it. What caught my attention was the bluetooth capability as I did not want another USB dongle on my MacBook Pro. My bluetooth has yet to be used, so why not finally utilize it. Got the package in the mail and was excited to open it. No CD for drivers = Happy Consumer! That meant no drivers needed to be installed to start using this baby. Turned on my bluetooth, put batteries in mouse, flipped power switch, put mouse into pairing mode, discover mouse, and you're good to go! A definite must for OSX users out there: you must download a 3rd party utility such as Steermouse in order to fully utilize this mouse. On my laptop, the "back button" actually activated Expose so I had to use Steermouse to reconfigure it. So far so good.
Excellent Notebook Mouse August 26, 2008
