Review on Introducing the Refreshing Mint Microsoft Mobile Mouse by Paul Mac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice to look at. Inconvenient to use.

I really wanted to like this model. The materials and build quality of this mouse are fantastic, especially for the price. The metal scroll wheel looks like it was taken from a high-end camera! Communication is reliable, tracking is good. The battery cover is great. Here's the problem: it's not very convenient to use. It's not high enough to comfortably rest your hand. Because the sides are very narrow, the side grip isn't enough to easily pick up the mouse when you need to reposition it. It got me holding on to my mouse and it gets tiring fast. Maybe those with small hands won't have an issue with the height, but I think narrow sides will still be an issue. The bottom line is that it's beautiful and the materials feel comfortable. However, the slim form doesn't work that well in terms of ergonomics.

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Legacy model
