Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000

I've tried hard to like this mouse as it is perfect for giving presentations but I just don't like it. Build quality is so-so. The battery cover doesn't line up exactly straight and when it sits on a flat surface, the four little pads it runs on are uneven so it rocks about in the diagonal just like a wonky table. At this price this is not good enough. In using the mouse (with the sensitivity turned all the way up) it seems slightly imprecise compared with my old Logitech VX Nano (which I lost). Selecting text takes just a little longer and the wheel, which does not click, also seems similarly imprecise, so much so that I've started using the scroll bars instead! Also the pressure needed to click is significantly higher than the Nano. I've tried living with it for a month now but I am just about to order another Logitech. I appreciate this is all very personal, but if you love better Logitech mice, I really don't think this is the mouse for you.

The supplier sent the item on time and it was pretty much as described; it had all the functions. But it is cumbersome as a presenter and nothing special as a mouse.The presenter buttons are far from ergonomic and the mouse as a presenter is just too unwieldy, making the laser uncomfortable, ie distracting in use, the very last thing I need when making presentations.I have also been using a Mac laptop for my presentations. I have resorted to using a Mac wireless keyboard for better control. You can imagine how unweildy this is, but the wireless keyboard and separate green laser are, in my opinion, infinitely preferable to this Microsoft Presenter Mouse, not quite Jack of All Trades and certainly master of none.Save your money, avoid it!

An excellent mouse, small and compact. If your notebook (desktop) already supports bluetooth, you don't need to use the dongle with the mouse. There is a small button underneath the mouse - press it in, and then your notebook will deteck the mouse.The documentation is sparse to put it mildly! There is practically no help is what it does - have a look at some of the reviews on the internet and you'll learn what button does what. Also, it runs great on Vista but you MUST download the latest drivers from Microsoft, rather than install the supplied ones.The small case is a cracker! If you don't need the dongle, take it out, leave it at home and the space left is a perfect fit for two replacement AAA batteries should you run out. :-)The default sensitivity is extreme - the mouse speeds around the screen, and even a slight movement of the scroll button makes pages whizz by. Fortunately the sensitivity can be controlled in the latest software in the Control Panel. The scroll button also has lateral movement - move to the left and it will go back a screen in IE, go right and the screen will scroll sideways.The presentation ability is impressive - including a lasar pointer.All in all, if you need this functionality, this is a great product and highly recommended.

You will have to look very hard to find such a mouse. Very responsive keys, excellent functionality for presentations. I use it all the time.

I have found this mouse really useful for training presentations.I don't have any problems with the signals between my computer WIFI and the mouse and do not use the USB stick.Only reason I don't love it is under "mouse" system it sometimes goes wild flicking through slides for no reason - however this wouldn't put me off recommending it to others

As a presenter it simply does not feel right. Only used it a few times before getting sick of it.Also you may have difficulties getting the drivers to install if you move between computers that you do not have admin rights to.

This is a great notebook mouse if you do presentations ocassionally. There are probably better separate solutions if you do presentations all the time, but if you are doing it from time to time this Presenter Mouse is an awesome way to do it. The presenter stuff doesn't stand in your way when you use the mouse and the mouse is small enough to comfortably fit in the average size palm in presentation mode.

works fantastic after more than 2 years at my station. No problems with software, easy to upgrade to Win 8.
