Customer Reviews


First off, i've tried over half a dozen wireless mice in the last five years. Every new one seems to claim that they're all lag free. That's not the case with me. I've even tried wireless mice up to a hundred dollars in price and even some Bluetooth mice. They are usually fine on a small laptop screen, but when you connect them up to a 24" LCD there is barely noticeable lag. It's so small that 95% of people would probably not notice it at all. It only seems to occur on large screens and it's a big enough annoyance to keep me from using a wireless mouse of any kind.
I heard about the new Blue-Track technology and just figured it was just a marketing thing and not really something new. I figured it was perhaps just an Optical mouse in disguise. After losing my receiver for my VX Revolution (which is a very good mouse) I needed a new mouse for my laptop with a small receiver. I read up about these and a almost went for the Mobile Mouse 5000 instead, but glad I didn't. I saw these on display at a local store and they were out of stock. I checked online and most every place was out of stock of them. I waited a week and my local store only got in the white version. After another few weeks I ended up driving a half hour just to pick up this mouse in black. Yes, I actually waited just so I didn't have to buy the ugly white version!
Instead of connecting it to my laptop I immediately hooked it up to my PC connected to a 24" display. I immediately noticed there was no micro-lag AT ALL. I was pretty impressed to say the least. It actually tracks just as well as my Logitech G5 that I was previously using. So far I have not installed any of the software on the disc, so I can not comment on that. I usually prefer not to if I can avoid it.
In my picture viewing software the mouse scroll wheel skips by pictures too fast, so that it's nearly impossible to scroll down one image at a time. I can fix the scroll speed in the software easily i'm sure. The scroll wheel itself is a bit too thin, but this is a laptop mouse, so it's not a big deal. The wheel just feels cheap and i've always preferred the Logitech wheels due to the clicking sound it makes when you scroll it. The auto-scroll on the VX revolution is a really nice feature.
Unfortunately the entire mouse feels cheap. It IS cheap, so that's not a big deal. It's not bad enough to make me want to not use it though. There is a rubber grip material on both sides of the mouse and i'm not sure why this was needed, since it's too smooth to begin with. It does however make the mouse look a bit better. It is a very well designed mouse and looks pretty nice.
I'm currently using this still on my desktop computer. As my main mouse it's a bit small, but for a laptop it's PERFECT. I actually liked the blue-track so much that I went out and bought the Wireless Mouse 5000 for my desktop. I didn't like that much (too big and heavy!) so I'm going to keep this for desktop use despite it being so small.
My suggestion to Microsoft is that they should make a higher quality version of this. One with a metal scroll wheel and better buttons. Pretty much like a top of the line model like the MX revolution. This actually tracks better then that mouse, so why not?
It's the best tracking wireless mouse i've ever tried and the best mouse you can get for the price!
UPDATE: 3/2/2010
I love this mouse so much that I did end up buying two of them. One for my main computer and the second for my laptop. The nice thing about it when using it on a laptop is the receiver is so small you don't notice it. I tested the tracking on carpet, wood flooring and even glass and it was no problem. The most difficult surface for it to track on is tan leather. I often sit in my leather recliner while using my laptop and put the mouse on the arm rest (it's pretty wide). Sounds dumb, but it works! It's not even all that flat, but slightly curved! Occasionally after every 10 minutes the mouse starts to throw a fit and I have to switch to a different surface. Once I use it on a different surface for a few minutes and switch back, it's fine. It's almost as if the mouse re-learns how to track on the new surface. Very strange. I'm just amazed that it'd even work on such a surface to begin with.
The only minor negative i've found is that the battery doesn't last long. It's not even worth mentioning since batteries are so cheap. I've been through about two in a month. I've also noticed some stores charging more for some colors due to being hard to find!

I bought this mouse because it was less expensive than the Logitech m305 (not on sale $40, but wait for it to go on sale for $25 at Best Buy). It feels about the same, a little lower (flatter). However, if you're used to having the scroll wheel "click" with detents, don't buy this - you'll be annoyed by the smooth rolling of the wheel with no detents. And, like many others here, mine failed after four wheels because of the now-common receiver short-circuit problem where the nano piece gets overheated, and the mouse stops working - this is a non-recoverable problem.

    Customer Reviews


    I am quite impressed with Logitech's WIRELESS MOUSE M310. First off, it is VERY EASY to install. Just plug in the teeny-tiny wireless adapter and go; the computer recognizes the device instantly, the mouse immediately starts working, and there is no software to install. YEA! This mouse is truly plug and play; it is up and running within seconds of being removed from the packaging.
    Second, the teeny-tiny wireless receiver for Logitech's WIRELESS MOUSE M310 can stay permanently in one of your laptop's USB ports without you noticing it, or it getting in your way. If you travel, this is a really nice feature, because it is just one less thing for you to remember to pack in your computer bag. No recharge dock, no big, unwieldy connection device, no tangled cables. I love anything that saves my time, as well as space and weight in my computer bag. (And if you do have to remove it from your computer, there is a handy-dandy little storage port for the receiver INSIDE the mouse. How cool is that? This way, you never lose the little connector.)
    Third, Logitech's WIRELESS MOUSE M310 is a full sized, basic mouse, very responsive and accurate. So even when I travel, I have the convenience and comfort of a regular mouse, instead of one of those small travel mice.
    Logitech's WIRELESS MOUSE M310 fits comfortably in my hand, is light-weight, and has soft rubber grips. And this new line is very pretty, too! It comes is a variety of colors and patterns, enough to match any user's personality. Mine happens to be Red Tendrils, which looks great in my home office and on the road. (Of course, I've never thought about having a stylish mouse before, but hey...) Additionally, it takes only a SINGLE AA battery, which can last up to 12 months. This is a significant improvement over other wireless mice which require two batteries that last only 2-3 months.
    I really like the look and feel of Logitech's WIRELESS MOUSE M310. Over the years, I have tried many, many kinds of mice: wired, wireless, battery-operated, rechargeable, different shapes and sizes. I have to say that, for me, Logitech's WIRELESS MOUSE M310 seems to combine the best ergonomic, convenience, and technical properties of all the others. It may be that I have finally found my perfect mouse. I'll let you know.
    UPDATE: April 4, 2011. I just changed the battery for the very first time. 9 months on a single double-A battery. FANTASTIC. I really do love this mouse!

    I was deciding between this mouse and the M305. My main concern was the size. I did not want a mouse that was too big, bulky and heavy - I find those to be just uncomfortable. At the same time, I was unsure about the M305 because I was figured it would be too small to be usable, as most portable laptop mice are. The M310 is a perfect size. It is light, comfortably shaped and fits in my palm nicely. At the same time, it's small enough to put in a small pocket of a laptop bag and convenient to carry around. The receiver is something you don't have to worry about at all - you can just leave it in your laptop when you go somewhere. If you're taking your mouse somewhere separately, there's a nice slot for the receiver right inside the mouse. Another plus is the "Invisible Optic" laser. If you need to turn the mouse over for whatever reason, (to use the handy on/off switch, for example) you don't get blinded by it.

    Customer Reviews


    I was skeptic of MS mouse products after using few earlier models. I'm Logitech converted. I use a G9 for my desktop, that's simply an amazing mouse. However, this bluetrack tech has me blown away. It works virtually on any surfaces that you would use for a mouse "pad" the build quality is great, I love the two side buttons and the rubber grips. Its comfortable and stylish (be aware that the stock pix is misleading, the blue light does not show around the mouse)

    In the past, I've had nothing but good experiences with Microsoft hardware and their warranty replacement service. Unfortunately, Microsoft's hardware quality and support doesn't seem to be what it used to be.
    I bought this mouse for my wife and she absolutely loved the size, sensitivity and its ability to track on virtually any surface. Unfortunately, this was short-lived experience because the transceiver unit failed from overheating after a couple of weeks of normal use. The transceiver now becomes so hot that it is uncomfortable to touch when plugged into a usb port. Do a search for this model mouse and overheating you'll find it to be a common issue.
    To make matters worse, I've found it impossible to get support for this mouse without calling Microsoft directly. When you go to their warranty support site and enter the product ID listed on the bottom of the mouse, you'll receive a message to the effect of "The PID you have entered is not valid for the United States" with no other options for support.
    Not wanting to waste my time waiting on hold with Microsoft and against my better judgment, I wrote off the first mouse as a fluke and bought another one since my wife liked it so much. After one week, the transceiver failed with the exact same issue. Of course, the product ID listed on the bottom of the mouse gives the same error as the first one when entered into Microsoft's support site.
    Two mice purchased from two completely different vendors failed in the exact same way with no easy way to get a replacement under warranty from Microsoft. I'm going to be avoiding purchasing Microsoft hardware for the foreseeable future thanks to the non-existent warranty support.

    Product Description


    Amazon.com Product Description
    Amazon.com 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 ScrollingFeaturing 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 MagnifierIf 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 LifeThis 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.

    Customer Reviews


    Interestingly, I am in a very similar position to the earlier reviewer, but I have had somewhat different results, after my first day of owning this mouse. I too am something of a gadget guy, and I also have the Wireless Desktop 6000 from Microsoft (the first lighter gray color version however). While I like the keyboard from this desktop set just fine, over time I began to dislike the mouse that came with it for the following reasons:
    - I used to use a Mouserug mouse pad and I found, strangely, that the laser mouse didn't track at all smoothly on this surface.
    - The finish on the sides of the mouse began to look dirty and develop a very rough surface where my skin touched it after a short while.
    - It wasn't ideal from a hand position perspective; I would somtimes develop pain at the base of my thumb after using it for a long time.
    So, I had hopes that this mouse would solve these problems. Here's what I've found so far:
    - The tracking seems identical to the Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, that is, very good indeed on any surface except the Mouserug, where it still stinks. So, no change there.
    - The side surfaces of the mouse are very different. The original 6000 laser mouse had a surface with a sort of "grippy" paint. This new mouse has thick rubbery plastic (clear on the left over the MS logo and black on the right) on the sides where you touch it that seems much more rugged than the old mouse. I suppose only time will tell how it stands up under repeated use but I'm guessing it will be much better.
    - The hand position seems much better. It does take getting used to for sure. But I find that when I just let my hand relax and use the mouse as intended that it is extremely comfortable. Just be sure to follow the diagram included in the box and don't try to force your hand into a position you'd use with a "regular" mouse because then you'll have hand pain guaranteed.
    The areas where my experience was different than the other reviewer are:
    - My Wireless Desktop 6000 came with version 3.0A of the receiver and I found that it works just fine with this mouse. I did not need to use the receiver included with the mouse. (I'm using Windows XP, for the record.)
    - The base of this mouse is indeed smaller than others but I haven't experienced the tipping and scraping at all. It seems to me you'd have to push like heck on the side of the mouse for that to happen.
    - The scroll wheel does indeed feel set a little farther back, but I haven't found this to be a problem.
    I have pretty big hands and I find that this mouse fits me well. But my wife has small hands and she was totally unable to use this mouse. So, if you've got medium to large hands you're probably OK, but if you have small hands I wouldn't recommend this at all.

    Here's an update after a few months of use: I still like the mouse very much -- it's the most comfortable mouse I've ever used and I never get any hand pain anymore. So that's a huge plus. But the clear plastic surface on the left side of the mouse started to turn yellowish after a few weeks of use and now the surface is starting to disintegrate. (Why can't Microsoft come up with a comfortable surface that's durable too?) But to tell you the truth, the ergonomics of this mouse are so good that I plan to buy another one.

    MOUSE ERGONOMICS
    I'm on the computer 12 hours a day and my wrist has been bothering me. When using most mice, your wrist is on the table, and hand is cranked up at an angle over the mouse. This completely changes your mouse posture. It is a massively tall mouse that completely angles your hand when using it.
    Here's what the mouse instructions recommends:
    The pinky edge of your hand is on the table, and your hand wraps the side of the 2.5" tall mouse, so your hand is almost sideways the whole time. Takes some getting use to, but at least all presure is off your wrist.
    Here's what I prefer:
    I use a mouse pad with a thickly padded wrist rest. The part of my forearm right before the wrist is on the wrist rest, and the hand is on the tall, (right-hand) slanted mouse, so my wrist is hanging in mid-air. This feels pretty natural for me and no more wrist pains.
    MOUSE PERFORMANCE
    It performs very well, as well as any other MS laser mouse. Laser works on most surfaces, but not on glass or glossy surfaces. It's been 2 months and I haven't had to change the batteries yet.
    Pros:
    All of the above.
    Cons:
    Sometimes I do get inconsistent velocity when I move the mouse at constant speed but the cursor does'nt. Smoother table surfaces seem to help. This is not for gaming.

    Customer Reviews


    This is my first wireless mouse. I love to game, and as a college student I'm not always at a desk, so I needed a mouse that can pretty much work anywhere. So far, sheets, jeans, wood, granite countertops, and bathroom tile have worked beautifully.
    After I opened the package, it took all of 3 minutes to get the mouse working. No complaints. The pattern is extremely cute and the mouse is great quality. I don't know about battery life, but come on, it's a AA, not that hard to replace. Great mouse :)

    typical good quality Logitech product. I got this for my daughter who "doesn't use a mouse" and its now essential. It only took a pretty mouse to convince her it was more efficient then a touch pad. works well and meets her fashion requirments.

    Customer Reviews


    The Logitech M505 Wireless Mouse is a good mouse, with basic features. This mouse can used equally well by lefties or righties. It can work when used as a plug and play mouse or can be customized using Logitech's SetPoint software. And it runs on two AA batteries that will supposedly run for up to 15 months.
    In terms of features, this mouse is sold at a premium to similar models. But the killer feature is the integration with the new "unifying" receiver, which lets you use one nano-sized receiver with multiple Logitech wireless accessories. I'm not sure yet if other vendors like Kensington will also have compatible devices that can be used across brands, but being able to only use one USB plug on my laptop for both my keyboard and mouse has been a great positive for me. I use this unit along with the Logitech K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard, which is akin to the original Logitech Wave Keyboard in its design.
    If they make a version of the Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse that is compatible with the new receiver, I will probably upgrade. Until then, this is the mouse I use on my home machine. Considering the price difference is relatively minimal, the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse I use with my laptop is probably worth looking into for those who don't need the unifying receiver. But similar to the MX 1100, I'm sure that an updated version of that mouse will be coming out soon as well.
    PROS
    + Balanced design works equally well for lefties or righties
    + Runs off 2 AA batteries (Logitech claims they will last up to 15 months)
    + The unifying receiver allows just one receiver for a multiple wireless devices
    + Nano-sized receiver is small enough to be left plugged in to laptops
    + The on / off switch on the mouse's underside allows you to save battery life
    + Indicator light lets you know when you have weak batteries
    + Works well with Windows Vista ; Windows 7 (Still have to test it with Mac OS X)
    + The device is plug and play without installing software (installing the "unifying" software is required to use multiple devices with one receiver)
    + Keys are programmable with optional SetPoint software
    + Curved rubber sides provide a nice gripping surface
    + The scroll wheel allows for side to side scrolling
    CONS
    -- The minimal arch makes the mouse ideal for those with small to medium sized hands
    -- The mouse lacks any extra function keys, even "forward" and "back"
    -- The list price is a premium considering the basic features
    -- The scroll wheel doesn't flow freely for hyper-scrolling like the Vx Nano
    -- The mouse buttons are very clicky
    THE UNIFYING RECEIVER
    The "unifying" receiver is a very nice feature. It's nano-sized, just like the VX Nano. The flexibility of being able to add more devices to your computer without having to use multiple receivers is a huge plus that saves USB ports and simplifies your accessories. It works on the 2.4 GHz frequency according to the packaging, and the range was a pleasant surprise.
    While it won't work with older devices, it currently works with the following:
    1. Logitech M505 Wireless Mouse (this product)
    2. Logitech K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard
    3. Logitech Performance Mouse MX
    4. Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX
    5. Logitech Wireless Keyboard K340
    In order to add another device, you must go download the unifying software from Logitech. It will then walk you through restarting turning your devices off and on again to pair your additional device.
    CONCLUSION
    This mouse is ideal for those who just need a basic wireless mouse but plan on using multiple accessories now or in the future. If you need a mouse and keyboard now, this is a great unit when paired with the K350. The price is a slight premium but it's worth it if you plan to use multiple accessories based upon the added convenience. If you don't need the unifying receiver, then strongly consider the Vx Nano. It's only a slight premium to this model and is worth it for the extras if you can afford the higher price tag.
    Enjoy.

    I go through mice pretty quickly as I like a fresh/new scroll and click. This mouse on the upside has:
    1. Crazy long battery life-- they advertise 15 months on 2 included AA's! Crazy!
    2. SUPER stylish. I love the red body and white stripe on the rubberized sides.
    3. A premium click feel.
    4. Uses the "unifying" receiver so you can run multiple Logitech devices that support "unifying" wireless with one tiny receiver. Easy install.
    On the downside:
    1. No back/foreword button on the left side.
    2. The scroll isn't quite as "premium" as the Anywhere Mouse MX
    3. The value compared to the quality ; price of the Anywhere Mouse MX isn't quite there in my opinion.
    This is a really nice, very stylish long lasting mouse. If style and long battery life are more important to you than a back button and a more premium scroll and the ability to mouse on glass, this is a perfectly awesome choice for a mobile mouse or small mouse for someone who prefers a smaller mouse.
    Otherwise, check out the Anywhere Mouse MX. It costs more but the Anywhere Mouse MX is "THE" de facto best mouse available today, in my opinion.
    I rate it 4 stars instead of 5 because I think the Anywhere Mouse MX travel mouse gives more premium features and value for the cost. And red is my favorite color so choosing the MX says a lot!

    I've had no problem with battery life or it losing connection. I love this mouse. The only thing I would change is getting rid of the on/off switch. Looks nice, works well. Definitely recommended.

    Nice wireless mouse that was a present for the wife.Real reason to purchase it was it matches the "look" of her laptop.
    Instructions and supporting info are lacking some common sense.
