The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (catchy isn't it?) comes in grey rather than black, but is still a right-handed mouse with a low profile, a number of buttons that are all customisable and of course a four-way scroll wheel in the centre. The bastard child of the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000, the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 offers virtually all the same features without the rechargeable option. The back and forward keys on the front of the keyboard, can’t reach em, can’t use em, can only guess they’d be useful if you were reading a book online, and used them to page ahead.(Pocket-lint) - We would forgive you for thinking that you've got a sense of déjà-vu when clicking to read this review, for Microsoft has launched a number of mice with the Laser 6000 tag over the last 3 years.įirst there was the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, then there was the Microsoft Wireless Natural Laser Mouse 6000 and now the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (v2).Can’t reach all the buttons without having to reposition hand on mouse. The size of the mouse, rather big in my hand, and I’m pretty average female size.Is F-Lock on or off? Is Caps Lock on or off? Is Num Lock on or off? The lack of indicator lights for the toggles.
The small Enter key, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve missed it, hitting apostrophe instead.The CLACK of the spacebar, wholly annoying and unnecessary.The F Lock and all that’s associated with the F Lock key and dysfunctions.The feel of the mouse buttons and scroll wheel, even though it’s not a smooth scroll it’s acceptable.Multiple adjustments of the slope of the keyboard.
Battery power indicators on mouse and keyboard.Now you’ll notice that the 5 silver keys are labelled as My Favourites 1 through 5, and the first one is assigned to “Start august”, which is, in my case, the name of this months m3u file for WinAmp. Here are all the screens, a picture is worth a thousand words and when you’re typing with this spacebar clacking in your ears, pictures are golden. Now I’m looking at a nice little app for assigning functions to the various buttons on the mouse, and was surprised to see that the default for the small thumb button is ‘magnify’ not ‘forward’ as I had experienced it in use. Ok, I’ll play along, lets click the shortcut. After a surprisingly long time to install the files, an icon appeared on my desktop (would have preferred to be able to specify that addition or not…) and that was apparently it. Then it asks you to choose from a long list of types of mice, in this case, Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 7000.
IntelliPoint: As usual the first thing you see is the License Terms Agreement, no surprises there. Even though I already had the current versions of IntelliType & IntelliPoint installed for my last keyboard and mouse, I uninstalled them and reinstalled using the software provided.
