Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000

I bought this model, the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000, as I'd had an identical mouse that I'd been using for years, but the rubber on the wheel was starting to break up, making using the wheel to scroll up and down the page rather difficult to say the least. However, the mouse had lasted well over the years so I didn't hesitate to try and find an identical item. Unfortunately Microsoft have discontinued production of this exact model, so finding an identical item that was either brand new or as good as new was never going to be easy. However, I like this mouse as it just feels like a perfect fit, and the fact that it's designed to be used with either hand is a real plus, especially if like me you're left-handed and don't get on with using the type of mouse that's been specifically shaped as though the designers deliberately designed it in such a way that it could only be used right-handed. The beauty of this mouse is that it feels totally natural to use it left-handed if you can't get used to using a mouse with your right hand, and for me that was the clincher in deciding to buy this model. It's an ideal mouse to use, whichever hand you use when using a mouse, and if you're left-handed all you need to do is use the "Switch Between Primary And Secondary Buttons" function on your computer to set the mouse up for left-handed use so as to be able to use the mouse properly, as it's just as comfortable being used left-handed due to the fact that the shape of either side is a mirror image of the other. This is truly a mouse that would suit anybody and not just people who are right-handed.

BEST MOUSE IVE EVER USED . I WORK WITH SOFTWARE... THIS MOUSE BUILT VERY WELL AND TAKES ITS HAMMER. IVE USED THISD MOPUSE ONLY FOR 20 YEARS .

This is an ideal replacement for the older Microsoft Laser Mouse 5000. My hands are of average size, perhaps even a bit smaller and the mouse fits in to my palm perfectly. It is not a lightweight portable/laptop mouse, it has a good weight for desktop usage, i.e. it is not too light to keep lifting off the desk when moving it. Two side buttons for back/forward web browsing and a 4-direction click-wheel. Not had it for long but it is so much better than the MS Mouse 5000 that I bought to replace my Laser Mouse 5000. It is surprising how much quicker you can perform actions when your hand is using a mouse of the right size.The USB receiver for it also mounts into the base of the mouse for portability, so actually it would be fine for a laptop mouse too.

When i bought my new computer i bought the microsoft keyboard and mouse as a package ,as time went by the mouse began to play up (worn out) so i replaced the mouse with an identical one as i like how the mouse works and feels .

Great operation and very comfortable to use.

This mouse was bought to replace an identical mouse that gave up after many years service. The product that arrived is exactly the same mouse and is 'new and unused' Took seconds to plug in dongle and was up and running very quickly. The mouse used my original settings in the MS software utility. Very Happy Buyer.

I tried many different mice, but no one compares to this one.Some logitech perform equally well with respect to tracking precision, but this still feels better. The only surface where it suffers a bit is natural wood.The weight is perfectly balanced, it has the right size, and having a symmetrical design, doesn't dictate the way you handle it or the position of your hand.Highly recommended for intensive usage.Side note: it's not sturdy enough to be carried around in a back pack all the time. This is the third time I buy one, but it's still worth it.

Purchased this mouse to replace my previous MS wireless mouse 5000 which developed a fault after 7 years of use. This version is a better shape, is smooth in its operation and works very well, no longer using the old type receiver. Item arrived within 2 days of ordering. Excellent value.
