Save Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse 1000 -Black


Two problems prompted a return of this mouse.
1. very short connection proximity: the advert says it will connect up to 300 feet away. I found the mouse would not respond if it was further than 24 inches from the receiver essentially making it a "wired" mouse.
2. scroll wheel functionality: a very bumpy, irregular response which completely fails after a few short clicks. I could depress the scroll wheel to engage the up-down screen wipe but couldn't train myself to substitute this action for good scroll wheel accuracy in moving up and down a web page.

After numerous attempts to reconnect the mouse for better response, no luck, back in the box it goes.

The mouse does respond on 1 AA battery. Impressive. I installed 2 to try to improve distance response. No help. No software comes with it for customization but you can get most anything done with Window's Control Panel mouse control. Get more detail about Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse 1000 -Black.
