Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

The main draw to the 6000 is its unconventional yet comfortable shape, as well as a few interesting features. Like many specialized mice these days, the 6000 is pricey; just be sure that you'll appreciate its features to justify the cost.

Shape and hand orientation more ergonomic; many software features; side-to-side scrolling; firm, grippable thumb area.

Pricey; requires AA batteries; side buttons a bit far from thumb; no clicky scroll wheel; slight wrist bend; lefties need not apply.

Below the short and pudgy mouse is a battery compartment that holds two AA batteries. With the mouse still flipped over, we also spied its 1000 DPI laser eye and a connect button to synchronize with the receiver. Three Teflon feet ensure smooth...

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 review: Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Easy to adjust to the unique design; ; less stressful on your reviewer's well-worn mousing wrist (unclinically speaking); satisfying, responsive scroll wheel.

Inconvenient thumb-button placement; overly large RF receiver.

Aimed at relieving or preventing the onset of repetitive stress injuries, Microsoft's new mouse seems to have the right idea in its redesign of the standard mouse grip. If Microsoft's hardware design team had paid as much attention to some of its other...

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 review

The Microsoft Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 is too small for comfortable everyday use and is something of an underperformer when it comes to wireless range, but its accompanying IntelliPoint software package adds some exceptional functionality to this...

Small and light; excellent software package; laser tracking for precision on many surfaces.

Too small for everyday use; huge receiver sticks out of the base when stowed; very short range.

The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 has great software features, but it's too small and uncomfortable for everyday use.

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Review

The Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (hereafter referred to as “Natural Mouse”) would make any elephant nervous!! Like any good computer professional, over the years I have gone through a boatload of mouse products, from touchpads to...

Amazing list of useful features ; It's just so darn comfortable ; Excellent battery life

Takes several days to get used to it ; Left-handed people will be disappointed ; Programmable side buttons usable only by thumb

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Most people automatically associate Microsoft with Windows and Office, but in addition to several software suites, the software giant carries an extensive lineup of peripherals. Today HardwareLogic takes the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 for a spin.

The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 represents the culmination of 25-years experience in the peripheral market by a company that has become synonymous with computing. That gives us high expectations for any Redmond-born product, and for it's...

It was earlier this month, less then three weeks ago, that we first learned about Microsoft's two new wireless laser mice. The Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and the Wireless Laser mouse 7000 may seem like products already released by Microsoft, but they...

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

Ergonomic Design, Laser Technology, Battery Indicator

Not a good design for small hands, Not Bluetooth, Not using Firstconnect Technology, No On/Off Switch, Left Buttons Awkward

The Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is a good first step for Microsoft in providing a well designed ergonomic mouse to customers. While a bit awkward for myself, I can see how the design of this mouse is geared to reduce the pressure on...

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

No matter how you feel about Microsoft as a software company, it is hard not to be a fan of their input devices. They have never been a trendsetter, but they have done a great job of keeping a finger on the pulse of consumers and coming along with the...
