Review on πŸ’Ž Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 Special Edition - Ruby Pink: Enhanced Mobility for an Elegant Touch by Harry Love

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sticking with it despite some flaws

I bought one from Staples and one from Revain in 2014. I use one for the office and one for home (an Apple Mac mini goes back and forth while I run Windows on Bootcamp). STRENGTHS: 1. Alkaline batteries last for months (never turn off)2. Convenient.3. Tracking: The Bluetrack tracking light is not interrupted by dog hair or mouse pad dirt. Unlike my old Logitech Mouseman Optical Beacon, I don't have to clean it. WEAKNESSES: 1. I sometimes have signal strength issues between the transmitter in the mouse and the USB receiver causing the mouse to lag. 2. Scrolling: I use Windows full-screen scrolling, but the mouse moves too slowly through web pages and Word documents too fast, so I usually use scrollbars. Separate USB dongles are required for each mouse. It occupies 2 USB ports since I don't carry my mouse to and from work. The Logitech keyboard I use can work with multiple keyboards with the same USB dongle.4. Don't lose your USB stick. It is compatible with the mouse and cannot be replaced. You have to buy combos again.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
