Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue

RRP: AU$139.95 Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue

The Good: The wireless version of Microsoft's Optical Mouse Blue has a sturdier feeling scroll wheel, at least on the review sample provided to ZDNet. Otherwise it's functionally identical to the wired version, which makes it a solid and dependable mouse

The Bad: The receiver for the Wireless Optical Mouse Blue is large; the same size as with the Wireless Optical Desktop, which also manages to control a keyboard and provide shift and caps lock lights. In the case of the wireless mouse, though, it's just wasted real estate.

The Verdict: If you like the styling of the wired Optical Mouse Blue, then the Wireless Optical Mouse Blue is a reasonable buy.
