I had previously used a Targus BT mouse with my Thinkpad T40, but when I upgraded to a VAIO, they didn't play well together. The Targus would go to "sleep" and just not wake up. After much research, I tried the MS BT mouse and after about a month of solid continuous use, only had dropout issues two - maybe three - times. Accurate, compact, smart-looking, nice case, plus BH had a great price. [...]Only issue is that at one point it stopped staying connected and that turned out to be a low battery issue - changing to fresh batteries resolved it completely. But the low batt indicator on the mouse never seemed to activate.Wishlist item for this mouse would have been a USB cord option for both power and recharge; the Targus had that feature and it was one reason I was so adamant about trying to keep it working. No other manufacturer seems to offer that in a BT mouse, but at least the battery life is respectable.

I could give zero star to this product. The product packaging only shows it is for Mac but the online information says Windows compatible. This product should be compatible to both platform since it a Bluetooth. But in Windows 7, it constantly get disconnected and once it is disconnected, your only option is to search for Bluetooth enabled device and reconnect. What a pain! Unfortunely, I can not return this to BH because I thrown away the packaging.

I have one of these for my mac book and one for a new hp laptop. Both work very well only rarely become disconnected. Startup can be delayed (maybe up to 30 sec) Don't know if this is on computer or mouse end. Package label says for mac and no mention of pc or windows compatability but works fine with both platforms.

I bought a new laptop that is almost a netbook. I had difficulty using the mouse-pad to read e-mails and internet articles, especially when I needed to scroll up and down. The bluetooth mouse works perfectly in these situations. Being a laser mouse I can operate it on almost anything like the arm of a recliner, pant leg, bedspread, etc. It connected easily and reconnects upon startup.

I use the mouse daily with an HP laptop... on a variety of surfaces. I have been very satisfied. I like that I don't have to use one of my USB ports. I am not sure if I like the way it fits my hand yet or not because it's been only a short time. Like all notebook mice, it is smaller and so not as comfortable as a regular sized mouse. But, it works as it should and I am happy with it so far.

I have an HP dv7t laptop w/Windows 7. This is a fab mouse. very compact. comes with a little case. It was very easy to install. Just put in the 2AAA batteries. Turned it on. Turned on the Bluetooth on the computer and seconds later it said the device was found. It's very fast. So fast I had to re-adjust the mouse settings. Works great on your lap (thigh) believe it or not! When you view this item on B&H's website it says compatible with both PC & MAC, but when you receive it, it may say MAC, but it works for both I found out with help from B&H. Once in a while it may loose connection. Press the little button for Bluetooth on the bottom and It's up & running. This has happened only twice. It wasn't that big of a deal. I tried other brands and didn't like them.

I had another bluetooth mouse before this one, and it would drop the connection to my laptop and wouldn't reconnect until I reset the mouse. This one hasn't had that problem, and has been working great.

I have been searching for a travel mouse that did not require a transceiver and I finally found the best one available. With a Macbook Pro only having two USB ports, I was constantly having to decide which device I had to unplug when it came time to use the ports to recharge my iPhone and anything else. Now I don't have that problem at all.
The OS picks up the mouse immediately with no hassles whatsoever!
This is the only travel mouse you will need to buy for years to come.

This mouse has everything a person would need in a mouse for a Notebook. The Bluetooth connects flawlessly and the only real cons I have with it are its size and once in awhile it seems like it looses connection, but 99.9% of the time it works great. If you have large hands this mouse is not for you.

Comments about Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 (Retail Packaging):
I started looking for a portable mouse after the touchpad on my new laptop started acting up. I really wanted something small with bluetooth that wasn't too pricey.
I LOVE this mouse! It's comfortable, despite it's size and responds very well. The bluetooth set up perfectly on my Lenovo Idea Pad (I have 64-bit Windows 7). The whole process took about 2 minutes.
I had read some reviews about trouble synching to Windows 7 64-bit but I had no such problem.
I've only had the mouse for about 2 weeks so I don't know how the battery will hold up (but I make sure to turn off the mouse when not in use). I had read some reviews that it had limited battery life.
So far I love it and it came with a case- a nice bonus!

Tried other blur tooth mouses' and returned to this one. My 2-year-old likes to think he can play with this mouse and still stands to the abuse.
