 Weird button placement and loose wheelNov 21, 2008
By Ann T. Ho
"Ann T. Ho"
I wanted this mouse because it's one of the few 5-button laptop/notebook mice. All the other features, including the flash drive and wireless receiver were bonuses.
It's a good little mouse. It's a nice size and fits well in my hand. I haven't had a problem with its responsiveness and tracking. I really like that it has an on/off switch, can use BlueTooth, and uses a AAA rechargeable battery.
The extra buttons on the side (I use for back/forward) are placed too far back for such a small mouse. I'd like it better if the extra buttons were on each side of the mouse like some of the old Microsoft corded versions.
The scroll wheel is too loose which doesn't serve me well when zooming in and out of detailed Visio diagrams.
The carrying case is too small to carry the mouse, the receiver, and the cord. It all fits but it's weird and bulky. It should at least fit receiver well.
Finally, I read a review by someone else somewhere that the mouse is too bulky (high) for a laptop mouse. I didn't think much of it until I put it in my bag. It could probably be flatter. I would've opted for flatter and a little longer.
Despite these cons, I still like the mouse and I'll keep using it until I find another notebook mouse with 5-buttons.

Great for windows, Horrible for Mac os XFeb 27, 2009
By Bren T. Mcrae
The tracking is horrible on mac os x. It is very jumpy! I thought I had a defect when a friend of mine ordered the same mouse and had the same problem. However, this mouse works great for windows and is rechargeable and comes with a little case.

Decent features but poorly constructedFeb 07, 2008
By M. Philip
"matp"
This mouse has the potential to be great. It's compact yet quite ergonomic and feature laden. Battery life is not bad at about 3 days continuous use and the built in charging feature is quite elegant. However, it's cheaply constructed. Less than 3 months after purchase the buttons are already lifting off. Maybe I got a mouse from a bad batch. But still, buyer beware.

Good notebook mouse experience, could use some workAug 26, 2009
By OMG ICECREAM
Packaging is a TOTAL PAIN TO open. It has guide for a scissor cut, but it is useless. It is impossible to open cleanly unless you use a sharp exacto knife. So don't expect to keep the box like you would on some higher end logitechs.
My Package Contents:
>The mouse - its a pretty thing in a homely sort of way. The gray thumb grip ruins the look but the metal top is very nice. gray grip will probably turn yellow though.
>Transceiver - big fat thing, larger than most usb mem sticks and usb transceivers combined. Will partially block a USB port if directly adjacent, still usable with small things.
>Charge cable - thin, sorta neat looking at first
>Rechargeable Battery - 900 maH Energizer branded.
>Pouch - Has a separator in the middle so you can separate your mouse from the reciever and cable. There is room for maybe a SD card or another AAA backup battery.
>Vista info slip - tells you to download drivers from website
>"Microsoft Product Guide" - pretty much telling you every possible way can die or become seriously injured through usage of the device
>Small CD sized quick start manual with CD inside - in 6 languages and its printed on nice paper with good illustrations, surprisingly complicated folds. Manual content itself is simple to follow (4 steps).
USAGE:
Feels pretty good in the fingertips, material feels really nice. Cannot reasonably be palmed. For a small mouse it's pretty comfortable. Compared to my VX Revolution, its shorter lengthwise but just as tall, the same width-wise. Ergonomically I probably prefer my VX. I've used the VX Nano, this is better than the Nano ergonomically.
Battery door came off too easy at first, but once a battery is in there, it stays on nice and firm. I can see the battery door breaking or getting lost the future though. The two switches (power and BlueTooth/2.4 switching) feel well made.
Thumb buttons have poor placement but keeps them from being clicked unintentionally. The wheel is slippery and smooth, so its not good for gaming; wheel does tilt though. The mouse glides pretty well, the mouse feet are the same material as their gaming mice.
The deep green charge LED on the top is gorgeous... I am mesmerized by it. I need to ask microsoft where to buy that color LED.
1GB memory function is worthless as the file transfer is slow for big and small files but I didn't buy it for the memory, so I'm not gonna take a point off for it. Might be useful for an IT guy to carry around scripts and what not. Charging is kinda slow, but its better than most mice that don't even have a charger. Magnetic system is a nice touch.
The sensor isn't that good, it's better than cheap mice, but compared to my VX it's definitely not as smooth. The laser will track on most surfaces. Wouldn't use it for Photoshop.
The main buttons have a very very satisfying click and the sound they make is nice and quiet, low frequency, but still gives the right amount of feedback. Right and Left click make a subtly different noise. This is probably my favorite mouse to click.
CONCLUSION: Get it, if it is in your price range. At the same price, get this over the VX Nano, get the VX Revolution over this. Get this if you need a Bluetooth mouse. Don't get this if you need a flash drive.
PRO/CON:
+Pretty
+Ergonomic (for size)
+Great Clicking
+Smooth feet
+Endless features
+Price
-Wheel is smooth scrolling
-Tracking is decent not great
-Side buttons suck
-Need to install software to get the most of it
-Packaging!!! GRRRRRRR

Cute little mouse needs frequent feedingFeb 12, 2009
By K. Chang
This is a mouse that my wife would love if not for the one problem. It's very cute and small to fit comfortably in her hand. However, this mouse is powered by a single AAA rechargeable battery, and a full charge only lasts about 2 days. It quickly became annoying having to recharge the battery every 2 days. We now use a charger to keep a spare AAA batter fully charged so that we can simply swap the batteries.
Except that one fault, this Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 is quite a mighty mouse. It can connect to your laptop either with BlueTooth or 2.4GHz wireless using the included dongle. It uses laser to track its position with high precision. The dongle actually acts as wireless transmitter, 1GB flash drive, recharger and mouse wire. When you are charging the batter in the mouse, you can continue to use it as a wired mouse.
