In some circumstances the surfaces were highly reflective. I have encountered no problems using this mouse on surfaces that include a table top, articles of clothing, paper, and, quite naturally, a mouse mat. This Wireless Mouse 5000 makes use of Microsoft BlueTrack technology which combines the power of optical features with the precision of laser enabling the mouse to work on a variety of surfaces. Supplementing the standard two-button and wheel arrangement are two-side mounted buttons which can be programmed to carry out specific tasks that suit the user’s needs. Measuring 70.3 x 117mm, this mouse is a little on the large size for my taste but still felt comfortable in the hand even for long work sessions.

Included in this row of keys are five which can be used to launch the user’s favourite programs plus other keys designated to open My Documents, Favourites, Email client and operate the default media player. Running across the top of the keyboard is an addition row of keys that are of a larger size than even the main keys. Some users might have difficulty adapting to this smaller size. The standard row of function keys arranged along the top of the QWERTY keyboard have been reduced in size somewhat.
Unfortunately these identifiers have been placed in such a way that they are not all that easy to see especially when the keyboard is set at a raised angle.

It's not the ideal choice for the gamers out there, but for use in an allround PC setup it fits the bill.With this keyboard, Microsoft has identified those keys which have a secondary action when used in conjunction with the Ctrl key. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, though the action of the keys is less so, and the mouse is solid and responsive. So, in short it's a decent little budget kit. Microsoft's decision to bring this technology down into its budget range of peripherals is welcome indeed. The BlueTrack technology in the mouse though is impressive and allows the device to operate even on rough carpet. Yet this is a fairly budget-conscious wireless desktop kit, coming in at just over thirty pounds, so you wouldn't expect many bells and whistles. There's no funky re-charging system such as that on the wireless Sidewinder X8, so standard AA batteries are the norm here, but the battery life on these kits are still pretty decent. This meant that I always had to think before using the button or I would need a couple of goes at it. I use the scroll wheel and button all the time while using the internet, to open a link in another tab for example, but the lack of precision on the scroll wheel often meant that if I were trying to press the wheel down it would scroll the minutest amount. I had a similar problem with the middle button on the mouse too. These small-footprint keys also encompass the 'Esc' key which I use a lot through image checking or gaming, and unfortunately it needed a definite solid press to engage it and often I had to revisit the key a couple of times to reap the reward. The only problem I had though was with the low-fat function keys which operate like a laptop's set, with an 'F Lock' key allowing access to extra office commands. It's awash with media and productivity buttons too, though the keyboard doesn't feel cluttered with all these extra inputs. Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 at Walmart for $64.99.
