Product Description

When you place your hand on the Microsoft 69K-00001 Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 for the first time, you'll wonder how you've ever managed without it. Offering an unmatched package of ergonomic design, accuracy, style, and advanced features, this mouse is designed to conform to your hand in its most relaxed position. This breakthrough design with a tilted, elevated hand position is designed to reduce pressure the carpal tunnel and wrist, and it will give you the comfort and performance that you deserve.





The Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is ergonomically designed to conform to your hand in its most relaxed position and is loaded with advanced features.


The battery-life indicator warns you when the battery is running low.

Smooth 4-Way Scrolling
Featuring high-definition laser technology, the Microsoft 69K-00001 offers laser precision as you scroll through your files. Smoother tracking means less strain on your hands and wrists, and higher responsiveness means you'll quickly notice an increase in your productivity. The mouse also offers four-way scrolling, adding even greater efficiency and comfort to your work. The entire scroll wheel tilts from side-to-side and reacts to how quickly you roll the wheel for smooth, accurate maneuverability. For example, imagine yourself working with a super-wide spreadsheet loaded with data. With the Laser Mouse 6000 you can tilt the wheel from side-to-side to scroll right and left without having to click-and-drag the application's tiny scroll bar or arrows. And if your desktop is cluttered with too many items to find what you're looking for, don't fret. This mouse has a built-in Instant Viewer -- just click the scroll wheel button to display your open windows, then point and click to select.

The Magnifier
If you work with loads of digital imagery, you'll love the mouse's magnification feature. With this feature, it appears that you have a magnifying glass pressed against the screen. With a simple press-and-hold motion, the Magnifier enlarges the area of your screen that fits inside the lens. You can easily adjust both the size of the lens and the level of magnification. So when it's time to touch-up photos or fine-tune detailed tasks, the Magnifier will quickly become your best friend. (The magnifier works with most programs, but it is not compatible with Direct 3D API in full-screen mode, media players, OpenGL, or Layered Windows. Also, if you're using Mac OS X, the Magnifier enlarges text and images on the entire screen.)

Battery Life
This mouse also features advanced Microsoft technologies that help prolong the life of your batteries, which means that you can spend more time working and less time running back and forth to the store. The 69K-00001 automatically enters standby mode when it's inactive for a set length of time, which minimizes unnecessary battery drain. In addition, the light in the mouse's optical sensor illuminates only as brightly as necessary to provide optimal tracking power. And although it is inevitable that your mouse will eventually run out of juice, the Laser Mouse 6000 comes equipped with a battery life indicator that warns you when the battery is running low.

As the name implies, this mouse is completely wireless, which means you'll never have to hassle with cords again. Loaded with five customizable buttons, you'll have quick access to the media, programs, and files you use most often right at your fingertips. The mouse's ergonomic design features soft rubber material and a shape that feels as natural as a handshake. With a sophisticated form, the Laser Mouse 6000 has a cutting-edge look that will complement today's latest technology. So if you work with a computer that runs Windows XP/2000, has an available USB port, and 45 MB of free hard disk space, the Microsoft 69K-00001 could be the mouse you've always wanted.

After reading all the reviews on amazon for this mouse, I decided to go with it. I got the mouse and touched it for the first time, and it is my far, the most perfect, most comfortable, and best feeling mouse I've ever used. Its honestly like the creators finally understood how a mouse is supposed to go into your hand. It cups your entire hand perfect and feels amazing. The buttons are fully customizable. All in all, this is the best mouse I've ever used and at 40 dollars (retails for 80), its a steal, so buy it.

I saw this in the store and its fatness felt great in my hand. I have larger hands, and regular mice are just so small, it drives me nuts, but this one fit me very well. I hesitated because it is MS, and I always have bought Logitech mice, but I bought it anyway.

First off, I had to download the drivers, the ones in the box were not Vista compatible.

Second thing I noticed was the wierd angles. Moving to the right sent the mouse right and DOWN at a diagonal. Moving up sent it diagonally up and right.

Third issue was the horrible scrolling. I messed around with the settign for hours on this. The scrolll wheel does not click, not glides, making adjustments a bit of guesswork. Scrolling up always made the page bounce back down when it hit the top, at all scroll speed settings. The scrolling was both horrible sensitive and insensitive at the same time. When trying to scroll just a couple of lines, the thing would only scroll a huge way down, even at the slowest scroll settings and moving the wheel very slowly, or with scroll acceleration turned off. On the other hand, scrolling the wheel a tiny bit had no effect at all.

In games, scrolling was very fluky. With some games it barely worked at all, with others it was way oversensitive, making scrolling through guns useless, as a tiny bit of scroll motion scrolled through half your arsenal in about a second.

This mouse is very inferior, and I quickly switched back to my too small yet perfectly functional Logitech wireless.

I bought this mouse in a vain attempt to keep my wrist and thumb from hurting. While it might be designed for comfort, it isn't designed to actually track like every other mouse on the planet. You move the mouse horizontally to the left and the cursor goes and a pretty good angle up and to the left! There's no way this mouse can be used with any great efficiency in Photoshop or Illustrator or any other application that requires "normal" cursor movement.

What a complete disappointment.

After using this mouse for six weeks, I still cannot find a comfortable way to use it. Wrist & hand fatigue develops very quickly for me even though I've tried raising and lowering the mousing surface, using a wrist rest and adjusting my thumb & wrist positions. Another source of irritation is the screen flicker that occurs momentarily when switching between applications (apparently a bug in the IPoint software that installs). Using with WindowsXP.

In searching for an ergonomic mouse, this one felt good in my hand at the store. In use, however, it is so tall that my wrist needed to flex upwards. Very uncomfortable. I joked with my colleagues that it would make a great projectile, and I felt like throwing it out of frustration. If I've learned anything in the search for comfort, it is that all reviews are subjective. Perhaps with proper elbow support and overall correct ergonomic workspace setup this will work for you, but it did not for me.
In terms of function, I have no real complaints, but the comfort factor just wasn't there for me.
