Every time I have to cruise around on my screen, dragging windows here, clicking hyperlinks there, I know I can rely on the performance of the Microsoft 4-Button wireless mouse. But my love for this mouse goes much further than that, let me tell you. The microsoft 3000 mouse is so small that I can even carry it around in my pants and shorts pocket.

I love this mouse because when I’m in a jam and my roommate or girlfriend walks in, its speed and accuracy makes me an expert window-closer. Not only that, but since the wireless notebook mouse has a built-in back button above the scroll wheel, I can navigate easily through my browser or folders.

But when all that fails… I just tell my girlfriend “I don’t know how those pictures got their! The computer is just opening them automatically! I think it’s a virus! I don’t know how to stop it!” lol. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen very often, though I am a good person.

Since the laptop mouse is so small, and the USB wireless dongle clips to the bottom of the notebook mouse and you can take it wherever you need to go.

The body of the wireless laptop mouse is not bad looking but not very fancy either. It features a contoured design that makes it fairly comfortable to hold for short periods of time but after while my hand hurt which could just be me or the way the mouse was designed. It is made to work with left and right handed computer user’s. The left and right buttons are nearly full-size and are pretty much easy to click. The scrollwheel is a little small and only allows vertical scroll, unlike most wireless notebook mouses which use four-way scroll wheel.

The Microsoft Mobile 3000 wireless notebook mouse comes with a USB receiver that snaps into the bottom of the mouse, a feature we consider essential on notebook mice. It was nice of Microsoft to include a small USB receiver, fortunately this dongle is fairly powerful, and provided just about 3 feet of range when I tested it *(will vary depending on conditions and your notebook setup). Even with the wireless notebook mouse use range, I was impressed with the tracking performance… You won’t notice any lag or errors from the mobile mouse which has a 1,000dpi optical sensor rating.

The Microsoft Mobile 3000 Wireless Notebook Mouse offers basic mousing functionality at a pretty cheap price. Unfortunately, it’s a little too basic and weak for my everyday personal use and I prefer the mobile mouse 6000 series for my laptop notebook.
