General Comments

I had my Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse for almost 2 years now and it is still working perfectly fine. This mouse is very reliable.

However the wireless part of this mouse sucks big time. The distance between the mouse and the receiver cannot be more than 1ft and must be in-sight. That kinds of defeats the purpose of having a wireless mouse.

The battery life on it is very good, maybe weak RF uses less battery power?

It is well designed and fits easily into my hands. I do not have problem using it for hours. The 4 way scroll design is good and makes sense.

Despite all the good points on this mouse, I will not recommend it to anyone else because of the poor RF performance. Other brands had better performance. This is hardly a wireless mouse.
