Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

I’m really reserved when it comes to laptops. I could use one, but then again I’m not into touchpads at all. Of course, I can get a laptop mouse. The question is which one is more suitable. We haven’t yet looked at what Microsoft has to offer.

Let’s see… Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 seems nice. It has an interesting design and some handy features. First of all it’s a transceiver-free device which relies on the Bluetooth technology that any new laptop should integrate. It’s a High Definition Laser mouse, so you know it works with your favorite games too. With the integrated battery life indicator you won't be taken by surprise with a dead battery—the Battery Status LED Indicator glows red when the battery is running low. The battery usually lasts for about three months. Moreover, if you want to extend the battery life, you can turn the mouse off when you’re not using it.

Additional features such as the back Button give you more freedom, so you can easily navigate between folders and Web pages, or press the wheel for auto-scroll. Speaking of the scroll wheel, you also get a tilt function for it and that practically eliminates the need to deal with scroll bars on the Web pages.

I thought that this kind of mouse was supposed to cost a little less. Guess I was wrong, it’s $50 alright.
