First, it’s a relatively small mouse with a symmetrical shape. The device has plenty of benefits overall, but does have a few drawbacks. It doesn’t add to much bulk to your bag when you are on the go and it will last a long time.

Microsoft claims a 10 month battery life and I think that’s a reasonable lifespan. There’s also a power on-off switch underneath to help maintain battery life. You won’t have to worry about it dying unexpectedly. A small indicator light on top will change from Green to Yellow when it’s running out of juice. Microsoft’s Mouse runs on a single AA battery. It is released with a quick push of a button besides the slot. In addition the entire transceiver fits into a small compartment under the mouse. There are less chances of snapping the receiver or damaging your USB port. Unlike other USB receivers, this one barely extends out of the USB port. It isn’t new, but is a welcome inclusion. The Nano Transceiver on its own is an amazing advancement for wireless mice. Microsoft’s other enhancements that truly make the Wireless Mobile Mouse an excellent product include the Nano Transceiver and the Battery Life. Although the Mobile Mouse 4000 can not match that feature, it is also a much more affordable device and won’t disappoint. For example, competing products from Logitech sport a new technology called Darkfield that work even on glass. This is a great improvement from the last generation of mice, but competitors are already another step ahead.

The next time you are at a coffee shop and decide to use a shiny magazine as your mouse pad, you can be assured that this mouse won’t fail.

With a wider beam and high angle optics, it can track on even granite, marble, and glossy surfaces. The BlueTrack Tracking Engine diverges from the typical wireless laser mouse. It features Microsoft’s new and advanced BlueTrack Technology, which is the biggest selling point for the device. Microsoft’s new Mobile Mouse 4000 works on both PCs & Macs using the USB 2.4 GHz wireless receiver.

It’s a reliable piece of hardware available at a great price. It has an ergonomic build and a stylish design with a new innovative technology behind the scenes. The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is a portable mouse for notebooks that boasts a long battery life and plenty of customizations.
