Working great with Linux laptop (Ubuntu 7.10).......2007-12-28
Plugged it into my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop and it works with no problems at all.
You'll love this mouse...Very Comfortable!.......2007-12-28
I bought this for my husband...and he's had both Microsoft and Logitech before. Microsoft is his favorite, and it's a comfortable size and width for his wide hand (even though the mouse is fairly small.)
This mouse is aweasome !.......2007-12-26
I had this mouse for a year, and then it broke
Sensetivity is perfect !
Its pretty compact, its very hard to get use to another mouse after having this on for a long time :D
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Mouse 3000.......2007-12-24
This mouse in theory is a good mouse, problem is the shipper/vendot ships NO software with it to indicate which version of Microsoft it will work with. Mine is very sporadic, I got frustrated after doing all the downloads needed and just gave the laptop to my wife who doesn't use a mouse.
Disappointing.......2007-12-17
I've had a few other optical mice and this is the worst. Every time I use it, I need to press the re-set button at least once. The cost was cheap but it wasn't worth it. Next time I'll spend a little more for a good one.

Im still using it till this second.......2007-12-16
this mouse is a must for anyone... people think that wireless is taking batteries,, not really i use my computer all the time and its my baby now.. i change batteries every 6 months Double AA... Great microsoft mouse great price amazon rocks
Nice but software bug.......2007-10-27
I bought two of these. They're good to handle, nice to use and look at, and a real step up from the wheel mice that we had before. They really do increase my productivity (i.e. my willingness to click), and it was good to throw out the mousepads. The BAD PART is a warning comes on the computers evey couple of days. It says something like "Warning -- Low SIgnal.: It happens on both the PCs, so it is obviously a glitch in the mouse software. I think it might have to do with dust or something in the mice.....no idea. It is disconceting.
VERY PLEASED.......2007-09-13
I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT I BOUGHT AND THE QUICKNESS THAT AMAZON GOT IT SHIPPED OUT. WOULD I USE AMAZON AGAIN? YES, THEY PROVIDE A GOOD SERVICE. BREEZY
Great mouse.......2007-09-10
I have been using the Microsoft wireless mouse for a few months and it is simply the best mouse I have ever used. It is very smooth and precise for my use (I don't play any games). I like it so much that I purchased the Microsoft wireless notebook mouse for my Sony notebook. It is important to buy the proper mouse for a desktop or a notebook because the desktop has a fairly large receiver that plugs into the USB port, while the notebook has a small receiver that plugs into the USB port.
Good stuff.......2007-08-12
I've had mine for about 3 years now and it's finally crapping out on me. That doesn't mean I don't like this product; far from it. In fact, for 3 years I have not had a single issue with this product except for when the batteries were low and needed to be replaced (every 6 months for me.) Using it daily, I would have to say you get your money's worth with this one.

Works well, but batteries run out too fast.......2007-11-14
I have been using for about four weeks - seems to do fine. Fits in hand nicely and is quite responsive. But the batteries don't last long. Go to rechargeables if you decide to buy this product.
Had to return this one!.......2007-11-05
Although most of the features on the mouse work quite well, I had to return the mouse because of two major (at least to me) problems.
1) The middle click on the scroll wheel did not function very well. I often had to click 3 or 4 times to get the middle click to work. I ran into this problem most often with the Firefox browser where you can use the middle click button a lot to open and close tabs. I have used several other mice (both wired and wireless) with the tab feature of Firefox, and this is the first mouse that had this problem.
2) The scroll wheel did not work properly in Quicken 2007. No matter which way I moved the scroll wheel, it always scrolled up. I researched this problem on the web, and apparently there is no fix yet.
Best Mouse I've Ever Used!.......2007-09-17
Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 5000- Dusk Blue
I know that Microsoft makes (or made) some other hardware, but I cannot remember what - just that it all had bad reputations. Except for their mice!
This mouse series, curiously all labeled
"Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0" on the bottom of the mouse for probably the past ten years, despite the upgraded features in each revision, is and has been IMHO the best full size mouse on the market. Nothing else comes close. And I have tried all the major competitors.
This mouse feels best in my hand, has long top buttons which allow my fingers to lay IN them, not peck AT them. Has two rubberized right sided thumb buttons which can be programmed to do what ever you want them to, but by default the smaller of two triggers a mobile retangular magnified screen area which has been enormously helpful deciphering hard to read text or distant areas of a photograph. New in this series I think (5000 & 6000). The manual probably specs the magnification and I probably should have looked it up for this review, but suffice it say it's a big and impressively clear image. One click on, one click off.
The movement is very smooth as you would expect from an optical mouse. I compared it to Microsoft's laser mouse, expecting the laser mouse to be more precise, what with more pixels per inch etc. but it seemed jumpy, perhaps in an attempt to be too precise. But wasn't that the point? It never could not get settled down into a smooth glide and after 5 minutes it was giving me a headache and I put it away. The optical mouse on the same surface just glided smoothly across the screen.
We'll have to see about battery life on this model. It is replacing a 6 year old of the same series (identical configuration, just different color and some new and improved functions) but I do not remember what the model name was then. It started out getting 5-6 months out of a set of AAs, just as advertised. It started burning through batteries and freezing up rather suddenly over about a 4 week period. The contacts were clean (I clean all battery contacts every 3 months) so maybe it had just reached the end of its natural life. But so far, in the 2 months or so that I've had it, the 5000 has only reduced the batteries from 1.58v to 1.47v. I don't see an early failure very likely.
I can see other's complaints about the scroll wheel. I think it boils down to personal preference. I always disliked the fact that the detent wheels dictated how far you went, forward or back, even by milimeters. If you wanted to stop HERE, the detent would take you to HERE plus a little bit. This wheel is completely operator controlled. It stops exactly where you want it to. Personally I think it gives it more precision, particularly if you are working on CAD. But for those with a tremor, or stiff finger joints, a completely free wheel might not be the best choice.
I think I paid Amazon about $27 for it and because it was over $25 it was shipped at no extra cost - pretty cheap for such a good mouse. (Compare that to an expensive uncomfortable Logitech. Now there's nothing wrong with a Logitech - but for my money, Microsoft WOM5000 is where it's at) At checkout, if SuperSaver (Free) Shipping is selected, there is always a warning about delayed delivery of up to 20 some days. I have never waited more than 4 days for anything from Amazon, and didn't with this either. I stay away from the independent dealers that operate through Amazon (the New and Used). Their prices are usually higher, there is always shipping to deal with, and some of them are eBay stores. No thanks, I'll wait for Amazon to get it back in stock.
Needs Improvement.......2007-09-11
I am comparing the Microsoft Optical Mouse 5000 to my old IntelliMouse Explorer which was very comfortable and easy for me to use. The new 5000, as others have mentioned, does not have any detents on the wheel and even at the slowest speed selection, it is still too quick. This mouse does not fit my hand and is uncomfortable to use. Some have said it is too large. I disagree and think it is too small, at least for my hand. For a comfort rating I would give it a 2 and my old mouse a 5. From an ergonomic standpoint, Microsoft really needs to make different sizes to fit people correctly and stop trying to make "One size fits all".
Like it so much, I own two of them!.......2007-09-10
What a great mouse! I have the silver and black version at home - have been using it for over a year now every single day and I'm pretty sure I'm only on my second set of batteries (and it give you a warning when it's running low, so you have some time to replace them before losing power totally)... the buttons on the side are great - I use them for going back and forth between webpages mainly, but you can set them for various things, which is nice. I have fairly big hands and this mouse feels great! With my split ergonimic keyboard and this mouse... it's like driving a Cadalic (sp?) instead of a tiny compact car... very nice on your wrist and hands. I would suggest a good mouse pad with a fat gel wrist pad to go along with this (I use the Belkin WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad). I like my keyboard, this mouse, and the above mentioned mouse pad so much that I bought doubles to take to work and use (and have received more than one envious comment). The mouse I bought for work is the dusk blue one listed here, which looks nothing like the picture. It's a dark blue color, which is pretty cool :) As another reviewer mentioned, you probably don't want to buy this mouse if you're left handed! Works great for rightys!

Works as promised.......2007-05-19
Had a few problems with signal strength, but for the most part it works well.
Kudos for the wireless mouse.......2007-01-10
I received the colbalt blue mouse on time without any problems. Initially, I had trouble installing it, but my son figured it out and now I am truly enjoying wireless technology. The price was right too as I hope to have many years of utilizing this peice of technology.
MS Wireless Intellimouse.......2007-01-03
Having used a wide varity of mice for my computer including the wireless one I bought from Dell when I first ordered my machine, I would highly recommend the MS Wireless Intellimouse. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for my office and have recommended it to many of my co-workers.
Waste of 3 gift certificates.......2006-08-31
I was sent a very nice wireless mouse. You have to have a CD to install this on your computer. I was unfortunately sent the wrong CD. I have been all over trying to find the correct CD. I have to buy the Wireless Mouse to get the CD that comes with it. With shipping this cost me around $25. Thanks for nothing.
Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer for Windows (Cobalt Blue).......2006-08-18

Amazon.com Review
Microsoft's Wireless Optical Mouse Blue features the best of all worlds--no cord, no ball, and comfort that is almost legendary with Microsoft mice.
Two recently introduced mouse technologies come together in this mouse. As the name suggests, it uses a low-power wireless link to transmit its movements to Windows or the Mac OS--the device is compatible with both platforms. The mouse also has no ball, instead using a high-intensity LED and optical sensor to detect movement.
While primarily a USB device, this mouse can also be used with the supplied converter with an older PS/2 mouse port. It connects into most Windows-based PCs without need for separate drivers. Plug it in, Windows sees it, and within a few seconds it's controlling the screen pointer. It is compatible with Windows 98 and later.
Two AA batteries (included) power the Wireless Optical Mouse Blue's optical sensor. The mouse effectively takes a series of pictures of whatever surface it's moved over--no mouse pad necessary--comparing each with the previous one to detect motion. The use of an optical sensor means the only moving parts on the mouse are its two buttons and its clear scroll wheel. The "blue" in the mouse's name describes the sides and back of its body and an inset around the scroll wheel. Its top surface is silver.
The mouse has a good range--we were able to get a response from the screen pointer at a distance of over 10 feet. It communicates with a small, oval receiver, also supplied, which draws its power from the USB or PS/2 socket into which it's plugged. --Simon Williams, Amazon.co.uk

Worse investment in my life........2005-02-11
I bought this mouse in a store... and when installed it initally worked fine. Then slowly it stopped working and would work if you havent touched it for an hour and then it when you started using it , it would work for 30 seconds and stop responding.
I had no choice but to attach my old corded mouse. I thought maybe it conflicted with my computer. But I get the same problem when I hook it up with my laptop and a friend's PC.
In short this product is a waste of time. Normally I do bash Microsoft software products but thanks to Microsoft hardware products, they fuel themselves for more bashing.
Not recommend this mouse.......2004-07-11
1.) run out of battery too fast
2.) only worked for 1 month.
I use this mouse.......2004-04-17
This mouse works great for me. I hated to have that wire in my way all the time. The only problem is that you have to have batteries so I use rechargeable ones.
Could be better........2004-01-09
I've had this mouse for quite awhile now, and the thing that bothers me most about it, is the fact that I need to replace the batteries about once to twice a month! Depending on how much I'm using it. And also, getting the batteries in and out is a pain..I don't know how microsoft could have missed that specific problem when they were testing it. I guess its pretty much worth its price because most wireless mice are a lot more. So for the most part i'm happy with it because I don't want to spend more than 30 dollars for a mouse.
forget it.......2003-11-15
Pointer jumps off screen constantly - major problem. If you like gaming - don't get this mouse. If you like frustration - this thing is perfect for you. Can this mouse really be called a "precision pointing device" when the pointer disppears every few minutes? I think not. I was much happier with the Microsoft corded Optical Intellimouse, which only cost me 1/2 as much as this.
