Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 (Wool Blue)

 

The Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is Microsoft's latest travel mouse. It offers many of the same features as the Explorer Mini, but does so for $20 less. This $40 device also uses Bluetrack sensing technology, which lets you use it accurately across a...

Bluetrack technology tracks on almost any surface; "Power" slider conserves battery; right and left hand compatible; contoured shape; transceiver attaches to undercarriage.

Limited battery life of nonrechargeable AA batteries; smooth vertical rocker lacks precision; pricier than other mobile mice.

The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 doesn't leave much room for complaint. Some will balk at the $40 price tag, but this mobile traveler fits comfortably in your hand and it can mouse on almost any surface, thanks to Microsoft's innovative...

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

 

Tracking accuracy was never a problem with the Mobile Mouse 4000. The device uses Microsoft's BlueTrack technology, which proved very precise on any surface I tested it on, from my desk to the fabric on my shirt. Picking up the mouse resulted in only a...

Works very well for a basic mobile mouse. Excellent tracking. Comes in five different colors

Not many exciting features. Dull design

The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is a colorful portable mouse for users who don't need a ton of bells and whistles.

Read Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000

 

Included with Microsoft's Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is the mouse itself, a single battery, the nano transceiver, and the usual paperwork. I received the graphite color, but the Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is also available in teal blue, berry pink,...

Rubberized side grips ; Nano transceiver less susceptible to damage in mobile environments ; Available in multiple colors

Only 1 side button instead of the usual 2

Overall, Microsoft's Mobile Mouse 4000 is decent mouse. It works well and I had no problems in terms of its functionality. Really, the only downfall to the mouse is the missing second side button. The s Mobile Mouse 4000 is decent mouse. It works...

Review Of The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

 

The stand out or rather, the most important feature of the 4000 is the inclusion of the Blu track sensor. This technology has given the 4000 the power to operate on any kind of surface where most mice would fail. It integrates the accuracy of laser...

Very ergonomic features; blue-track technology helps it cover all kinds of surfaces; antenna is fitted into the framework

Poor battery life; the scroll lacks accuracy; highly priced

Although the price tag may leave a buyer stunned, it has a good design and offers a lot of user comfort. It is aimed at people who are always on the move, and don't want the trouble of carrying mouse pads.

"Unresponsive and jerky"

 

I had bought this to replace an aging Microsoft wireless 2000 mouse. That was an old full size wireless optical mouse with the old hockey puck transceiver. Main reason what that it didn't have the precision I was looking for.

-Battery compartment has a pull tab. Took Microsoft a very long time to add this feature. It makes removing the battery easier

-Jerky and unresponsive. Frequently gets jerky and freezes (old model 2000 wireless is much more responsive and reliable)
