Also noteworthy is the nano receiver mouse, I'll also connected to the notebook, since it practically does not interfere. If you want to him, however, do not let the unit, so it can be in a niche to hide the mouse down. But I would not put my hand in the fire for it, that the expulsion mechanism really hold out long. The little spring in said niche acts somehow unstable. Can me here but also fooled.
Unfortunately, the mouse also brings many negative points that led me eventually to the conviction that I would get myself this mouse a second time (unlike, for example, the stationary, wired Logitech MX 518, which I at home and at work use and I just do not want to miss).
On the one hand the mouse wheel just mentioned! Although the continuous rotation quite nice and also beautiful silently proceeds, so the mouse wheel in my opinion has four major drawbacks:
The lack of rotational locking it is often very difficult to keep a document position. A slight shock of the wheel when lifting the finger and you have scrolled back.
On the other hand you can not, such as in mobile mice from Logitech, just quickly "by turf" through a long document, for the rotation resistance is too high.
Thus, Microsoft has covered here neither side satisfactory (neither accurate nor fast scrolling).
Furthermore, the pressure point of the mouse wheel is totally past practice. If the rotation of the wheel still continuously, so the click is practically an insurmountable hurdle (at least relative to the pressure points of the other keys). The mouse wheel is so tight when you click that one a middle click (eg when opening a new tab in the browser) sometime is too strenuous and you choose to go via the context menu. The lack of rotational locking does the rest to do so because of the great pressure that is needed when you middle click turns the wheel and unintentionally scrolls example of a targeted link on a Web page away.
Working with 3D Studio Max to the notebook in which the camera rotation with Alt + duration middle click is selected by default, I was eventually too exhausting, so I put my function means IntelliPoint (mouse configuration software) to the side button.
Not to mention the fourth negative point of the mouse wheel, the responsiveness of clicks. How many times have I pressed on the wheel and nothing has happened. Either the mechanism is not accurate, or by the unintentional turn of the wheel will simply click the target is no longer detected. In any case, the mouse wheel one of the biggest drawbacks to this good se mouse - and thus almost a KO criterion.
The other problem I think is the BlueTrack baptized optical method of motion detection. While the mouse work well on most surfaces, but not always reliable. One day I can use my laptop on the sofa, while the mouse glides across the artificial leather, on another day, the pointer jumps just so back and forth. Often it is already simply that the trough in the optics sits, is quite deep and unprotected. I've often times a lint or hair as need to get out blow. But often the cause of failure of scanning not apparent (and the notebook is never farther away than a meter away from the mouse - to the distance it can not lie).
The last negative point in my opinion is the battery power: The battery that comes the brand "Energizer" was after less than three months yet. Microsoft specifies the duration of the mouse with 10 months. My mouse has barely a third of the time persevered even though I separate them from the stream at night and after the use of hand using a switch. An automatic shut-off, the mouse has not. Pulsates even after prolonged rest period and the blue LED will light merrily.
Here again the advantages and disadvantages of Mobile Mouse 4000 in my view:
+ Great design, perhaps the best on the market
+ Super feel of the mouse housing
+ Ideal size for people with normal-sized hands (as a mobile mouse)
+ Pleasant quieter Left / Right Click
+ Useful side button
+ Very small receiver, which one can be stuck on the laptop during transport
+ Works on many substrates
+ Four-way scroll wheel
+ Can be completely reconfigured by software
- Lack of rotational locking the mouse wheel counteracts precise scrolling
- Very large resistance when you press the mouse wheel
- Click with the mouse wheel does not always work
- "Sampling mechanism" weakly not protected from dirt to
- Sampling of the subsurface fails a bit too often, when ground is not ideal
- Relatively short battery life compared to the official figures, and its competitors
Desirable would be a bag or a case was, after all, it is a mouse on the go.
I hope I was able to buy potential customers an overview. The mouse is not bad and also reasonably priced. Especially since they are available in many color variations, so that everyone can find his favorite. But on the technical implementation is lacking but unfortunately, the heavy users probably should look elsewhere.
Of course, based on the reviews my subjective opinion, as I am for decades an intensive PC users, however, and already have used many computer mice, I think my opinion of my opinion of many like-minded users largely corresponds.
