Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 review

The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 is an attractive, contoured mouse that combines the precision of laser optics with a shape that fits both right- and left-handers. However, the ambidextrous design is a mixed blessing: it's not overly comfortable...

Contoured design for both left and right hands; five customizable buttons; clear optical laser.

Hard-to-access side buttons; short, three-foot range; plastic is slippery; warranty information is difficult to find.

The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 is a good precision mouse for left-handers, but righties would be better off with a mouse designed for that hand.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 5000

The Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse (WOM) is comfortable to use (for the right-handed, anyway) and offers a simple but useful assortment of features and niceties. Sure, there are less expensive options out there, but we like the WOM 5000 enough to...

Smooth performance; comfortable to hold; five configurable buttons; includes magnifier feature.

Range of wireless reception could be longer; diminished feature set on a Mac.

The Microsoft Windows Optical Mouse 5000 is a straightforward, reliable mouse for basic home or office productivity.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 5000
