While we normally prefer a rechargeable mouse, Microsoft claims the mouse will work flawlessly for up to 10 months on a single battery. The top of the mouse also houses a small red LED that alerts you when battery power is low. Microsoft also offers five pastel colors to choose from, including teal blue, berry pink, lime green, graphite, and white.
Here you'll find settings for button assignments, and scroll and click speed, as well as help files in an easy-to-use program. If you don't have the CD with you while you're traveling, you can still use the mouse with your computer's internal settings; no external drivers are required.
One of our major complaints with the Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse was its right-handed-only design; the curves of the contours made it uncomfortable for lefties to use. Thankfully, Microsoft corrected this misstep in the 's symmetrical shape, making it universally easy to scroll and click the four buttons. In addition, the entire mouse is covered with a soft textured plastic for extra grip.
The scroll wheel sits between the two main buttons and moves from side to side as well as up and down, with one minor tactile difference between the two scroll modes: horizontal scrolling with the dial makes a tangible click as each page moves, but up and down scrolling is completely smooth, with no tactile feedback. We prefer the ratcheting feel of a click wheel for scrolling through individual pages featured in other mice, including the Logitech MX Revolution.
The smooth dial that Microsoft incorporates into its mice feels sludgy and awkward. Devices that do not have this button are permanently synched to the receiver. Experiment by putting the receiver in different positions. For example, turn the receiver upside down or on its side. Make sure that the wireless device and the receiver are a minimum distance of three feet from any other wireless device.
Do not put the wireless pointing device, the wireless keyboard, or the receiver near any electrical devices, such as cordless telephones, cellular telephones, or other wireless pointing devices or receivers. We recommend that you maintain a distance of at least 8 inches between these devices. Do not put the wireless pointing device, the wireless keyboard, or the receiver on metallic surfaces or objects, such as long metallic rails or cables. We recommend that you maintain a distance of three feet between the wireless pointing device and such metallic objects.
The wireless pointing device may not work on surfaces that do not have visible detail or on surfaces that are reflective or glossy, such as glass. Additionally, the sensor may have difficulty in tracking on highly repetitive patterns, such as a magazine or newspaper photographs.
