reged50's Review of Microsoft Wireless Laser 5000 Mouse

    2 stars

Good Points

Reasonable overall performance and highly configurable.


Bad Points

Scroll wheel is awful - there is resistance making it feel heavy and no 'ratchet' action that made for accurate scrolling. Down-clicking the wheel, which I use a lot in Firefox, is a total disaster. Most of the time nothing happens. The other big negative is its size and weight, with two batteries making my wrist ache after a short period. If you have any RSI issues steer well clear.


General Comments

I bought this in a hurry from a store to overcome a short term mouse crisis - it was basically all they had to offer. I'm now looking for something else that returns my beloved scroll wheel functionality and doesn't feel like I'm moving a tank around the table.
