Microsoft Compact Optical Computer Mouse 500 - Black

Everything in the right place for easy reach - both L and R click and scroll wheel. Being wired, it's really light to move around. Size is great for all size hands and very comfortable for small hands. Does not skip or stick. Being quite low profile, the hand is kept relatively flat and so is not bent back / reflexed too much, thus there's no fatigue.Overall great value for money, very well-designed and does exactly what you need it to.

Received my mouse this morning, plugged it in and a few seconds later it was working as it should. When I move the mouse the cursor on the screen moves in the relevant direction and when I press the buttons or use the scroll wheel I get the expected reaction from it. What else can I say? It has a short lead but it is for my laptop so that is not an issue. I like a smaller mouse as I have small hands so it feels more comfortable for me than some full sized mice. Black is a practical colour (although part of me wanted the pomegranate one!)and the mouse seems fairly robust. Also it works with Windows 7 as it does not specify this in the product details which almost prevented me buying it. I am happy with this purchase which was great value for money.

Very suitable for children, adults with small hands or short fingers. I have short fingers due to Poland syndrome and this mouse allows me to rest my palm on the mousemat with my fingertips on the mouse buttons. It loses a star because of the short cable - be prepared to use an extension cable if your USB socket is more than about two feet away. Like every Microsoft mouse I've ever used it works perfectly with Linux.

Had the original version of this mouse, and it worked well, lasting 2 years.It has quite a short cord, especially compared to the previous model. I use it mainly with my netbooks, all Asus models, running XP and various Linux distros, and as such it works fine in close proximity to the netbook.It is accurate, fits well in the hand despite it's small size. I use it in preference to my arc mouse, which I thought I would use more.

The mouse itself is ok. Compact, responsive, a tad plasticky but fine in general. However as other reviewers have pointed out, it really isn't very durable.I haven't been particularly abusive to it. It is connected to laptop that generally never goes anywhere, it just sits on the desk. Unfortunately this still seems to have been much for this mouse to handle. The joint where the wire from the mouse connects to the USB plug is an obvious weak point. It has frayed and cut through the wire stopping the mouse from working (and causing the laptop to short out on the USB port more than once).I've gone back to my trusty IBM mini mouse (10 years and counting on that one). Quite disappointed in such shoddy workmanship from Microsoft.

the clicks are too loud but otherwise a good product, I love its small size. bear in mind that the cable is very short, my laptop only has USB holes on the left but I obviously have the mouse on the right - even this way it's a little too short.

Chose this mouse for its short lead and physically small size.Works well with a laptop but would not be so good for a desktop, particularly if the main case was on the floor.Control is precise and switches have a predicable feel.Laptops I have used it with automatically know what it is and it works straight away.

It works fine however it's really small, so if you want a small mouse then this is it!

Buena relación calidad precio, de momento lo uso poco y va muy bien.

Nunca he tenido problemas con los ratones de Microsoft, y ésa no parece ser la excepción.Tenía mis dudas por el tamaño, ya que no me suelen gustar los ratones tan pequeños pero éste es muy cómodo al agarralo y manejarlo.Yo tengo una Mac mini y funcionó al primer instante de conectarlo (para quien quiera saberlo).

Piccolo, con tre trasti (due laterali e rotella centrale cliccabile) ottimo per il portatile. L'ho regalato alla mia ragazza che dopo 12 anni ha dovuto sostituire il suo vecchio mouse Microsoft (stesse dimensioni). Scorrevole e preciso. Un po' piccolo per chi ha mani grandi. Consigliato.Amazon, neanche a dirlo, perfetto e puntuale.

Microsoft Compact Optical Mouse 500 filaire pour Notebook est une très bonne souris, bien adaptée aux ordinateurs portables. Elle a la particularité, comme certaines d'autre souris Microsoft, que la molette, par pression, peut aussi prendre la fonction d'un troisième bouton. Par exemple, celle d'un double clic. Pour utiliser cette fonction, il faut installer le logiciel 'Centre Souris et Clavier' Microsoft (Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center). Cependant, à partir de la version 2.5, compatible avec Windows 10, cette fonction n'est plus prise en compte. Autrement dit, avec une version du 'Centre Souris et Clavier' Microsoft qui est antérieure à celle de la v2.5, on peut avoir accès à cette fonction sous Windows XP, Windows 7 & Windows 8. D'une façon générale, cette souris est compatible (Plug & Play) avec toutes les version de Microsoft Windows.

Piccolo, leggero ma di buona fattura. Molto resistente ed economico. Preciso e con cavo della giusta lunghezza che non ingombra mai e consente la giusta manovrabilità.Ormai uno degli ultimi pochi esemplari di mouse con cavo da viaggio.Ne ho comprato uno in più di scorta.. non si sa mai andassero fuori produzione...
