Lenovo Dual Mode WL Bluetooth Touch Mouse N700, Black (888015450)

This is simply the best mouse for windows 8 period! It could be a little bit heaver in the hand but it doesn't lose any points for that. Here's why it deserves 5 stars, though:1. It's the right size in my hand. Swiveling the base turns it on or off but while swiveled in the on/arched position, it just feels right. Not oversized, not too small, but just right. In the off position (swiveled flat), pressing the middle button activates a laser pointer. A cool feature for some I guess but I personally won't have a need for it.2. Bluetooth mode. It's overkill that Lenovo integrated both Bluetooth and a 2.4 ghz wireless connection option but if you don't have Bluetooth on your laptop or desktop, you have the other option available (along with a supplied mini-usb receiver that, by the way, also fits into the battery compartment so that you'll never lose it). Seems like they would've just sold two different mice. It's the mouse that ends needing any other (for Win 8, anyway). Works perfectly. I bought the new x1 carbon laptop a couple of weeks ago but the touchpad is super sensitive and my wrist or thumb keeps touching accidently as I type which ends up moving the cursor....which can be quite annoying. I disabled it and was using an old mouse I had but needed an upgrade. This was definitely the right upgrade.3. Impressively, the center mouse button has 3 distinct functions. They did a great job with its design:A. The lengthy center button area is a touch pad in itself. Sliding your finger on it supports scrolling scrollable areas like web pages or screens like email screens that require scrolling just like using a center scroll wheel or a two finger gesture on a normal touchpad.B. The center button clicks, so it supports those not-as-common-as-much-anymore-but-useful-when-you-have-it third button mouse options.C. Get this, the very bottom of the center button has an image of the Microsoft Windows logo. It is actually purposeful and is not there just for show. It actually does behave as the Windows Key. So convenient. If you use Windows 8, you know that you use that button all the time and I find it just great that they put that there. I love that.So, yes. This mouse is well worth whatever it costs if you use Windows 8. No disappointments. Just be connected to the internet while pairing over Bluetooth so that Windows can identify the hardware it and install it seamlessly.

Took a little getting use to, but works well.I do not think the touch wheel is a great idea. It does not seem to be as responsive as it should be.The laser pointer for me is a waste because I do not have a use for it. The Bluetooth feature is great. There is no need for the dongle in Bluetooth mode.Just sync and go.I have had this item fo a week now, and have not had any connectivity issues at all. It also comes with the dongle for the standard 2.4 GHz connection if you do not have Bluetooth. Overall this is a good product once you get use to the design.***Update 06/11/2016: The unit just stopped working. Nothing happened, just stopped. I replaced the batteries thinking it was that, but nope. No Go

2018 update: holy sh** the price went up. After around 1.5 years of owning it,the bottom cover/housing fell off and doesnt attach back on.. you'll need glue/ Also the BATTERY COVER has lost its ability to stay on because it is MADE OF PLASTIC...the quality of the surface has been reduce due to wear and tear .. you really need some kind of sack tro protect it from scratches and scuffs...The battery life is ok. I suggest you use 1.5volt batteries and not the 1.2v rechargeables. unless they are 1.5volt lithium ion rechargeables (Expensive)...The laser still sucks.. I dont really want this mouse anymore because I prefer a dedicated laser ... i can barely see the laser pointer in many cases on projector screens at the university...they NEED TO UPGRADE THE LASER AND MAKE THIS OBSOLETE. They need to make the crome area out of REAL CHROME and make sure that the left/right-on-the-windows-button swiping function works because it doesn't for me ever since windows 10 happened.I prefer to buy this AMAZING 30$ gaming mouse that have 12 or 13 programmable buttons and different modes AND its batttery lasts for MONTHS... It's only 4 times thicker from bottom to top (in height).. but it gets the job done way better. WAYYY BETTER. So I feel like a fool for buying this...This mouse is best used for showing off.. except that laser WILL make YOU look DUMB for using a laser people can barely see.... you'll have to move the laser slowly so people can track it at the VERY LEAST. yeah no .. dedicate laser it is. come i can handle a few more ounces of weight .. what are you ? the anti-muscle squad? are you one of those people who think their backs will break from a few ounces? trying to over pack a carry on on personal item ( backpack) or you prefer bringing an overpriced purse instead of a backpack because you're too cutesey wootsey. YES there are people who are spoiled . really spoiled. lets not let them influence the market please . I mean i dont want low quality Scrap anymore.I want them to look both ideal and BE ideal.Cons:- The DPI of this mouse is either lower than 1000 or it has a bad tracking sensor ( hardware/software-wise)-low DPI means that the mouse pointer wont be as accurate at pointing where you want it to.-the tracking laser is blue, thus it will have a hard time working on blue surfaces ( not really much of a con, you cant blame them)-if you have blue jeans, it is a con :P-the material is obviously made to save the manufacturer money. ( Example: the Middle chrome area is made of fake chrome that you could easily scratch off)- there is a small amount of time you have to wait for mouse or laser/off mode to work (2 to 3 second?)-if you dont wait, the mouse may get confused and it wont work until it you see the led light turn off AFTER making a change of mode ( after you confused it)- it's a bit harder to recognize where the middle button/windows button is- the mouse isn't exactly comfortable. I estimated i need more height from the back of the mouse. (SOMETHING FOR THEM TO CONSIDER. reminds me of the RAT9 gaming mouse ..)-Laser is a bit smaller in diameter than a regular 3$ laser pen, I use strong batteries to compensate for thisyou should use this laser only in unlit presentations i suppose. I haven't used it in presentations yet but the future looks bleak on this one-Im not really a fan of logos, so that con is coming from mePros:- Looks really beautiful-Great design (black)-Flatness for storage ( you should get a mini bag or whatever will protect it from rubbing and scratches)-convertibility-you can store your 2.4ghz dongle in the batttery compartment- I dont know if the batteries last long, but it's supposed to ( the laser is invisible when it is working)I'd recommend it for looks and price but not for quality, or even so much for editing pictures.I have a cheap USB mouse with over 2000dpi I got for 1$ at the flea market, brand new. :Psucks to be you doesnt it?:P

VERY surprised at this mouse. Looking at the picture and how weird it looked gave me concerns about how crampy it would make my hand.THE PICTURE DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE!!!!This is a very VERY nice portable mouse. When "folded," it'll fit in the pocket or any bag. It looks really elegant with its reflective accent and its sleek straight line design. It is super comfortable. I had compliments from everyone that looked at it and tried it with the "ooooo it feels nice!" The powerpoint remote mode is a super plus for me as I do presentation. Built-in laser is great but know that it pulses and has framerate type effect so you'd have to move it a bit slower or the pointer will trail. This might make the laser pointer look unclear or confusing to look at.All-in-all, glad I went with this. I even play games like Starcraft with it for hours with no issue.
