💎 Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 Special Edition - Ruby Pink: Enhanced Mobility for an Elegant Touch Review

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 itself works and feels great, but the dongle is the worst I've encountered in 24 years of USB history (USB was introduced in 1996). The wrench head/handle does not pull out easily. I plugged it directly into the computer and it was very difficult to grab and pull out, but I pulled it out after a bit of fiddling. I then connected it to a USB extension adapter, of which I have used over 100 adapters of the same model in the field to connect USB devices with no complaints. With a USB…

At first I really liked this mouse and the scroll wheel too. You can press it from side to side, but unfortunately this function isn't configurable like other keys (why?), so it only scrolls horizontally (which you'll rarely, if ever, use). No mouse pad is required, tracking is good, buttons work well, and the small form factor is good. Unfortunately, the soft rubber tire on the scroll wheel wears out over time and eventually ruins the center button. First, the rubber itself sticks to dirt and…

I have been using this mouse model since it was first introduced. It's one of the few things I've relied on to be consistent in my tech-heavy part of my life. I use a mouse about every 2 years, every previous mouse becomes a spare or spares bank. I am an avid mouse user, my daily work requires me to use the mouse all day, so for an average or light user this mouse will last a long time if you handle it properly. It's the perfect mouse for small hands and for on the go. The key is safe, the…

This used to be a good mouse choice but in recent years Microsoft has decided to downgrade the build quality of these mice to something very low compared to other mice in the same price range. This is my second order of this mouse since 2016 and both have failed. The first lasted 9 months before the right mouse click completely stopped working. This second mouse, which I've owned for about 14 months, is now failing because the scroll wheel rubber is completely separating from the wheel itself…
