Pros: Very comfortable, plus a snap-in receiver to turn off the mouse and save power.
Cons: Bad, bad bad - defective from Day One or it will "die" shortly thereafter!
The Bottom Line: I would NOT recommend this mouse because of the poor quality. If you do buy this product, make sure you test it immediately so you can return it if defective.
ssea's Full Review: Microsoft Comfort Optical 3000 (FA100002) Mouse
I am on Mouse number 4 of the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000, sorry to say. A very comfortable, defective mouse product!!
The first mouse I purchased would not move properly from day one. The second mouse I purchased was "perfect" for about a week, then it would not scroll backwards anymore. Broken! Mouse 3 - same thing. Mouse 4 - like the first one, would not work properly from day one! I tried these mices on various machines and the ones that worked, worked with all machines.
I loved the FEEL under my hand of this mouse and because of this I kept trying to get a good one by returning it to the store where it was purchased - Staples.
As a very experienced and long time user of the computer, comfort and quality is of the utmost importance to me, and this mouse definitely had the comfort but "no" quality - and I do not know why, as this is a good quality name.
Another excellent quality is the a convenient snap-in receiver which automatically turns off the mouse.
The bottomline is ... we need to find out why this mouse often is defective or will not hold up after very little use, as a comfortable mouse with these features is hard to find.
