The Bottom Line	The stylish and comfortable set is easy to use and operates smoothly, but the only browser it supports is Internet Explorer.	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.	Logitech's laser mouse is accurate and cordless, with long battery life. What more could you want in a mouse?	The Microsoft Windows Optical Mouse 5000 is a straightforward, reliable mouse for basic home or office productivity.	If you can afford its high price, you'll be pleased by the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse's comfort, features, and extremely portable design.
