Not perfect, but the best mouse on the market. I usually prefer the excellent Logitech products, but this model is the best available:
Pro:
1. Wireless with a nano (mini) usb receiver you can leave installed at all times
2. Excellent tracking on almost any surface
3. QUIET buttons with versatile configuration options.
4. Requires only a single, inexpensive AA battery, not two or three more expensive AAA
5. Battery life is good if you switch it off when not in use, but it could benefit from an auto shutdown option as well
6. Comfortable and easy to use with a glossy, easily cleaned surface and good size and shape... BUT: a lower / thinner profile would make it easier to pack (I use with an acer 10" netbook), and I would still (always) prefer a trackball
7. It works very easily and every time... as long as it works! My first one died after one year (still under warranty and I intend to send it in for repair or replacement). I think the problem is not the mouse, but the receiver, which now gets VERY HOT when plugged in and the mouse no longer works. (The new receiver stays relatively cool in the same USB port and the new mouse works fine with it.) Hopefully, the new one will survive the 3-year warranty period!
So... the CONS:
1. First one died after 1 year of casual use
2. Auto-off or shut-down would save battery life more easily
3. Lower profile would make it even more 'mobile' and packable
4. WHY WON'T THEY MAKE A TRACKBALL WITH THE SAME SIZE AND FEATURES???? I miss my Logitech wireless trackball that finally kicked the bucket and was way too bulky for mobile use... but my gosh it was a JOY to use. ...Hey Microsoft... PLEASE, just put the light on top of this thing, put the buttons on the side, and I will be the first one to buy a 'BlueTrack' Trackball!!

Most Liked Negative Review

Could have been a winner

Unfortunately there were a coupe of issues that I simply could not live with. Firstly, the side buttons are rather poorly placed (too high and too forward) which makes them difficult to access without having to let go of the mouse so you can reposition your fingers. The deal breaker, however, is the scroll wheel. It spins freely with nary no resistance or click that can be discerned. While this might at first sound like a good thing, I soon discovered the shortfall of this design. When attempting to view photos in irfanview (insert your favorite photo viewing software), the free-spinning wheel is way too sensitive, causing you to skip every other photo in the folder. If the wheel "clicked" when you rotated it (like it should), this would not happen. I probably could have overlooked everything else. It's going back to Staples tomorrow.

Comments about Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000:

It really does work on every surface - I can lean back in my rocker and use in on my lap or the arm of the chair. Works perfect every time. I have really bad carpal tunnel and it fits my hand perfectly, without any discomfort. Wish it would have come in different colors.....

Comments about Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000:

This small mouse just fits my hand and is very simple to install and use. I really like the wireless feature - no tangled wires in the way. I marked one of the cons as short battery life but that is probably my fault for not turning the mouse off after using.
