Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 review

The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 comes with a USB receiver that snaps into the bottom of the mouse--a feature we consider essential on notebook mice. Unfortunately, this dongle is fairly weak, and it provided a pitiful 3-foot range in our tests--the Kensington PilotMouse Laser Wireless, for example, worked at distances up to 30-feet. Despite the Optical Mouse 3000's range, we were pleased with its tracking performance: we didn't notice any lag or errors from the 1,000 dots per inch (dpi) optical sensor.

The mouse comes with a three-year limited warranty, according to the included Getting Started guide. It also lists free phone support numbers and directs you to Microsoft's online support site, where you'll find FAQs and articles if you're having difficulties.
