Microsoft says you can get three months of use out of one set of batteries. The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is a small mouse with good looks and an ergonomic design. In total there are four buttons and a scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is clickable and a button on the left side of the mouse allows you to navigate backwards through web pages or folders you have opened. Microsoft equipped the mouse with an on/off button on the bottom to extend battery life and include a soft carry pouch to protect the mouse on the road. Installation & Use The only feature that doesn’t work with my MacBook is the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000’s back button. The main mouse buttons and the scroll wheel work fine. I was also able to use the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 under VMware Fusion with Windows Vista on both operating systems simultaneously. Bluetooth range between the MacBook and the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is fantastic. I was able to accurately control the mouse from across the room and the mouse worked in another room with walls between the notebook and the mouse. The ergonomic design of the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is comfortable in the hand. Left handed users will be able to use this mouse as well. The back button on the mouse worked perfectly with no software needed. The back button didn’t work under Mac OS X. Microsoft also included a Velcro closure carry pouch for the mouse to keep it safe in your briefcase or notebook bag. Accuracy with the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is very good. Typical notebook mice are only 800 dpi and the 1000 dpi that the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 has is welcome. In Photoshop it was easy to select the exact point I wanted with the mouse in a photo. There was little lag to speak of with the mouse and the wireless range makes it great for business users that give presentations from their notebook.
