Reviews for Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Excellent Ergonomics

Strengths: natural shape that fits your palm

Weakness: not so great for gaming

I highly recommend this mouse for anyone who has discomfort or issues around carpal tunnel using traditional mice. This design is great to relieve stress while still providing a fairly traditional mouse design and experience.

My only disappointment was in using it for gaming. Gaming can really worsen or cause carpal tunnel, so I was looking for a mouse that'd be good for work and games as well. I'm not sure if it is dpi or shape-related, but it simply didn't seem as accurate as traditional mice. If Microsoft could somehow resolve that, this'd be the best mouse on the market.

At any rate, if you don't game, this has good enough resolution for most applications. I also like the non-usb-key receiver which you can place on your desk, as this allows you to get the best reception possible.

Microsoft natural wireless mouse review

Strengths: Extremely comfortable for extended use. High build quality. wireless.

Weakness: Not worth retail price. Recurring AA battery expense. Limited customization. Scroll wheel issue. side button placement. difficult to use while standing.

Its main strength is its advertised one, ergonomics. It feels very solid and well built. Two AA batteries are supposed to last a long 6 months (Mine are still at the highest level after one).

A main flaw is that the scroll wheel goes up much more easily than down. So after scrolling down webpage, the slightest movement on the scroll wheel often frustratingly sends it back up a little. Also, my g9 has much more options to customize what each button does (e.g. tilted scroll wheel switches FF tabs). Also, I occasionally use my mouse while standing, which is incredibly difficult with this mouse shape. The side buttons are inconveniently placed at the top near no fingers. If you accidentally click them a lot though, you may like this feature.

Overall I highly recommend this mouse for regular, non-gaming use. Some places sell these for about half the usual price, so it pays to shop around.

Microsoft wireless mouse

Strengths: connects fast, responds well, comfortable, laser

Weakness: not rechargeable

This mouse has a weird shape which requires some getting use to. After some usage though the mouse feels comfortable. The usb receiver for this mouse is bit big in size but manageable. Responds pretty well though.

Microsoft Wireless Ergonomic mouse 6000

Strengths: comfortable, laser, perfect size

Weakness: not rechargeble, pricey

It is a great mouse because of its shape. I have a large
palm and long fingers and this mouse is perfect for me.
I wish Microsoft made it rechargeable and change usb
receiver (make it smaller).This mouse responds pretty
quick and precise. Also, it works with Mac computers I
intend to use it with my MacBook Pro. Overall, highly
recommended.

THE GOOD: Easy to adjust to the unique design; felt less stressful on your reviewers well-worn mousing wrist (unclinically speaking); satisfying, responsive scroll wheel. THE BAD: Inconvenient thumb-button placement; overly large RF receiver. THE BOTTOM LINE: Aimed at relieving or preventing the onset of repetitive stress injuries, Microsofts new mouse seems to have the right idea in its redesign...
