Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Review

[One4yu2c]

To commemorate their 25th anniversary, Microsoft Hardware is turning full circle back to where it all began and unleashing a bevy of new mice into the peripheral marketplace. Today HardwareLogic gets hands-on with the Microsoft Laser Wireless Mouse 6000 (we'll be looking at the 7000 in the coming weeks). As the name implies, the 6000 sports a 2.4GHz wireless connection while adding a snap-in receiver, ergonomic right-handed design, High Definition Laser Technology, and other goodies culminating from 25 years experience. But unlike the 1980s, high tech rodents now litter the peripheral landscape. Can the 6000 hang with the best today has to offer?

I like microsoft mice... they're alot harder to break than the logitech ones at work (if it's gonna be a rough day I make sure to sit where there's a microsoft mouse... lol).

I got the complete opposite experience. Used like 4 Intellimouse Explorers, countless Optical Mouses from Microsoft, none last more than a yr and a half. And their Notebook Optical broke on me TWICE within 3 months. Haven't had any of my Logitech's fail me yet.

I have a wired microsoft 6000 laser mouse and the magnifier is great for graphics and us old folks need that enlargement to read the fine print on the EULA's. The wired one is usable for both right handers and lefties. Nice review guy's.
