Microsoft Wireless Mobil Mouse 3500 w/ Intellipoint

Hey all,

After learning that I would be receiving a very nice laptop as part of my employment benefits (of course I'll be reviewing that when it's in my hands!), I decided to go and look for a wireless mouse. I've never really liked the "mobile mice" only because of the size of the mouse vs. the size of my hands. Well after selling this type of equipment at my previous employer and learning some of the actual benefits associated with them, I decided to dive in.

Naturally, being a bit of a nerd at heart, I am drawn to anything with a name branded like Microsoft, HP, or Dell. While it is not always the case, I've still been known to subconsciously associate a brand name item with some inherent level of quality.

After playing with a few different choices, i began to examine the financial aspect of the equipment and was very surprised by the $50.00 + price tag on some of these mice. Granted, some have Bluetooth, and some have fake diamonds (really? lol) and some even have cool looking graphics "tattooed" on them, but $79.99 for a mouse? Yeah right.

This retailer does carry a wide variety of wireless accessories and while there is a high range, there is also mids and lows and being that they are all Logitech and Microsoft products, lets give it a whirl.

The Microsoft Mobil Mouse line has a great feel, very ergonomic and at right around 15 bucks, it's a steal! Using a technology called BlueTrack, the limits of the old laser mouse are gone and here is the dawn of the any surface mouse. I've tried it on lace, on my pants leg, on a hard wooden table, a reflective surface, near and far, and it never missed a beat!! Its as responsive as any CAD mouse I've ever used and much more attractive and light. Boasting an 8 month battery life, this little guy only uses one AA.

Another great thing i think, is the fact that the wireless usb reciever (which by the way is the same size as my thumbnail) actually tucks into the mouse where it is safe inside of your laptop bag.

So lets review

Microsoft Wireless Mobil Mouse 3500 w/ Intellipoint Technology
1. Small, ergonomic and professional looking
2. Very responsive and able to work on "any" surface
3. Economy friendly
4. Very portable

I give this mouse a solid five stars.



Stay tuned. As previously mentioned, I should be receiving my custom built laptop in the coming week so more reviews are coming!!! Tell your friends and stay tuned!!
