Review on Microsoft WS3 00001 Surface Mouse by Brandon Vox

Not Great - Keyboards, Mice and Accessories

I ordered this to pair with my Microsoft Surface Pro. I was impressed by the sleek style, color, and magnetic battery door. Aside from "style", usability is another matter. Let's start with the scroll wheel. The wheel is quite small, with tiny prongs on its surface that feel like you're rubbing your fingertip with it. Also, it has some resistance to wheel spin. After a short use my finger tingled and it felt like running it over a file. Not pleasant at all. The closest "buttons" may be my hands, but I've found that the side seam of the mouse closes when the buttons are pressed. It was like a faint click. I've never felt this with any other mouse I've had. As for sensitivity/tracking and tuning, they are acceptable. However, I cannot excuse the scroll wheel and buttons and have sent them back to be replaced with a Logitech M557. (My favorite brand of mice)

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
