Logitech MX Revolution Advanced Wireless Notebook Mouse

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

A friend of mine just bought the new Logitech MX Revolution Advanced Wireless Notebook Mouse and I figured why not try it out while I had the chance. The Logitech MX Revolution Advanced Wireless Notebook Mouse fit nicely in my hands considering I’m tall and have big hands. The feel of all buttons had a nice touch to them and the feedback when I pressed any button was really good… a little too good hehe.

The main selling point for this wireless notebook mouse is the free scrolling mouse wheel. You can switch between normal wheel function and a free-flowing scroll that just spins naturally, easily and is extremely hard to explain and put into words. The wheel on the Logitech MX Revolution Advanced Wireless Notebook Mouse is beautifully weighted, and scrolling through web pages, documents, zooming and just about everything. The feeling of this wireless notebook mouse is so much more natural than I’d imagine and I did not think I would enjoy using it so much. The only downside to the Logitech MX Wireless Notebook Mouse is the bluetooth signal from the dongle is a little bit on the weak side and get’s a little irritating until you find the perfect spot for it. This may be due to how precise the wireless notebook mouse, I do not know officially why this was built like that.

I honestly cannot explain how much more natural a wireless notebook mouse feels. On a lesser level, this is the difference you experience when you start using the wheel. When I used my computer mouse after at home, I really felt the difference and after an hour I ended up buying one myself since I the wheel features I use daily and it helped in alot of tasks I do everyday. In my opinion, I wish the side scroll button could be moved just a little bit but this could vary based on your hand size but for most people this won’t even be an issue.

Microsoft Explorer Mini BlueTrack Wireless Notebook Mouse

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I recently picked up a wireless notebook mouse by Microsoft called a Explorer Mini with BlueTrack Mobile Mouse. So far, I am very satisfied with the quality and usability of the mouse (both on Mac and PC). BlueTrack is definitely not a gimmick, and it turns virtually any surface into a “portable laptop” mouse pad especially since I’d never think in a 100 years that the couch would make a decent notebook mouse pad, LOL!

My favorites about the Microsoft explorer mini wireless notebook mouse are that the mouse glides effortlessly and is very comfortable using even after long periods of time. The USB dongle is very small compared to most wireless notebook mice available and the 5 programmable buttons (worked perfect on both a Mac and PC) are a huge advantage for any work that you need to tackle. I even like how they removed any clicking sound from using the mouse wheel and spinning it feels so awesome… a little to much fun. What really amazes me and has to be one of the best features IMO which is that it only uses 1 AA battery which you don’t have to replace often even with daily or constant use.

I know most gamers would scream at the thought of using a wireless notebook mouse for gaming – but I’m not much of a gamer anymore. I have to say that so far in the free trial games I have tried like WoW and a few some first person shooter games, the Microsoft explorer wireless notebook mouse works flawlessly. No latency, no stuttering/lag, no issues at all this laptop mouse.

After you use one, you’ll be definitely recommending the Microsoft Explorer Mini wireless laptop mouse to friends and family. If you are looking for a desktop version, try the Explorer with BlueTrack. Slightly larger, comes with a charging station and is made for desktop users. You cannot go wrong regardless of which one fits your needs better.

Microsoft Mobile 3000 Wireless Notebook Mouse

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Unfortunately the Microsoft Mobile 3000 Wireless Notebook Mouse is a little too basic and weak for my liking. To start using the wireless notebook mouse, you need only to insert a single AA battery and plug in the wireless receiver. No IntelliPoint software is included in the package (i have no idea what they were thinking when coming up with that choice) but you can download it from there web site which is very kind of them lol.

The body of the wireless notebook 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 snap-in USB receiver, unfortunately this dongle is fairly weak, and it provided only about a 3ft range when I tested it. Despite the wireless notebook mouse 3000′s range, I was impressed with the tracking performance, I didn’t notice any lag or errors from the stated 1,000dpi optical sensor.

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.
