| Designed for use by people on the go, the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 is compact and comfortable, with a focus on convenience and mobility. Plus, it has a sleek and stylish design that looks great on any desktop in your home or office. Customizable buttons help you get quick access to the media, programs, and files you use most often, while 4-way scrolling takes advantage of Microsoft's Tilt Wheel technology, letting you scroll four ways for greater efficiency and comfort. Meanwhile, the Instant Viewer function allows you to click the scroll wheel button to instantly display your open windows. Then you just point and click to select the window you want. Another feature, the Magnifier, lets you point and click to enlarge and edit details on your screen. The Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000's presentation controls allow you to smoothly navigate through Microsoft Office PowerPoint and other presentations from up to 30 feet away from your PC. Using the integrated Digital Ink technology, you can give your presentations more impact by highlighting vital information on screen. You can also use the device as a media remote for multimedia presentations, or to control digital entertainment from the comfort of your living room sofa. And don't worry, thanks to a built-in battery life indicator, you won't get caught with a dead battery--the Battery Status LED Indicator glows red when the battery is running low. An on/off switch lets you turn your three-in-one device off to extend battery life even longer. The Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 features 2.4 GHz Bluetooth connectivity with First Connect technology that makes it easy to connect wirelessly right out of the box. This wireless mouse technology also lets you work without worrying about tangled wires. Meanwhile, high definition laser technology offers more precision, more response, and smoother tracking during use.

a good mouse, a fair presenter |

If you use it mainly as a mouse and present ppt once a while, this is a perfect choice. |

Almost the perfect mouse... |
Just a little perspective, I purchased this mouse for three reasons: 1) For the Powerpoint controls; 2) Because I didn't like my Dell regular sized bluetooth mouse (too big for me); and 3) Because I tried out the Razer bluetooth wireless Pro, which always went to sleep after just 5 seconds of idle-time, thereby resulting in jerky-wake-up movements and making it too annoying.
Like others have said, to use the Powerpoint controls, the mouse's software/drivers need to be installed. However, controlling powerpoint is great. All the necessary buttons are on the bottom of the mouse. I even like the 'pause' feature, which blacks out the presentation when pressed. This is helpful if you have extra slides at the end that you don't want the audience to necessarily see. The button on the top of the mouse that shifts control to the powerpoint buttons also prevents unwanted pressing of the top mouse buttons.
My only complaints are: 1) The wheel's tilting to the right and left cannot be customized. It appears as though tilting to the right and left is strictly reserved for scrolling to the right and left. I would have preferred to instead use these maneuvers for moving backwards and forwards in web-browsing; and 2) The mouse's buttons for moving back and forward during web-browsing are awkwardly placed. Using them requires hand-shifting which becomes annoying after a while.
Aside from these complaints, I am pleased with the mouse. I like the small size factor. The mouse is light but doesn't feel cheap. It fits my hand nicely and its clicking is nice and quiet. The finish is also terrific.
So all in all, a 4 out of 5 stars. If the left and right tilting could be customized, I would have given it a full 5 star review. |

Presenter is not "plug in and play" |
I want a good presenter and a regular mouse. I chose Microsoft because I thought it would support its own product. But surprisingly, it can't. I have to install a software to make it fully functional for presenter.
If you just go to someplace to do a presentation, do you think you are allowed to install a software to other peoples' computer?
As a mouse it is good, but as a presenter it is terrible. It also seems that if your laptop has a Bluetooth device already, the mouse's Bluethooth will interfere with it. |

Works well but might break. |
I bought one of these. Used it approximately 20 times. As a mouse/pointer/presenter it works just fine. But... Trying to replace the battery, I pressed the button to the battery door. The door partially released and was stuck half way out. Needless to say eventually the little attachment hinge broke. A frail little piece of plastic at the top of the device gave way. Door won't close now. Microsoft won't give a replacement door and doesn't warranty that part of the mouse. "Because they get jammed." There's a very weak link in a fairly expensive piece of kit.
Lesson learned? Don't buy an expensive all in one item. Buy something that looks bullet proof. Of course you don't know whether it is until you buy it. Next I'll try a Kensington presenter and laser pointer. Mouse will be a separate item from now on.
Other than that, the mouse/pointer/presenter worked fine. Be aware that some of the many extra function buttons are easy to press inadvertently while giving a presentation. You might want to disable them in software. |
