Microsoft Bluetooth Surface Precision Mouse Light Grey

I’ve owned many, many mice over the years, from high end to low end. All of which have felt either slightly too large or slightly too small. And over the last year I’ve been using a TeckNet Classic 2.4g Wireless Mouse (a very nice overall mouse). Although I find the TeckNet to be a good mouse for 8 hours per day of business use, the “too-small” feeling was something I could not get over. Enter the Microsoft Surface Mouse. After carefully studying wireless and Bluetooth mice for about 2 weeks, and buying and returning some that I did not like (again, too big or too small) I splurged on this expensive mouse. I’ve been using it for several days, 8 to 10 hours per day, and can make a fair review based on this. What I like • The size of the mouse is absolutely perfect for my medium sized right hand. • The shape of the mouse is very comfortable, and seems very ergonomic to use. Frankly, the most comfortable I’ve ever used. • The forward and back side buttons are very well placed and I haven’t made any accidental clicks on them. • There’s a convenient center side button that defaults to Task View. I like this feature a lot as I always have 4 to 5 programs open at a time and this saves me from moving the mouse to the task bar to enter this view. • The scroll wheel is extremely comfortable, and the smoothest I’ve ever used. Pressing the small button behind the scroll wheel allows you to go from fast scrolling to a more controlled scrolling approach. I highly like the feel and functionality of this wheel. • I do not find myself reaching with my fingers or twisting/curling my hand to use this mouse. For a medium to large hand, I think it’s a perfect layout. • Bluetooth works perfectly for me (I have a Surface Pro 4 computer) without any lag in response time whatsoever. • The neoprene (at least that’s what it feels like) thumb rest area feels great and very comfortable. In terms of what I don’t like, I can only complain about one thing. The scroll wheel cannot be tilted left or right like some other high-end mice that I’ve owned, such as the Logitech VX Revolution Laser mouse. This feature is very useful in working in spreadsheets. That said, I still love the mouse and I’m sure I’ll be using it for years to come. ** Update on 12/5/18. Still using this mouse as my everyday workhorse and still love it! I bought a new Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 and the mouse connected to is immediately, and it works the same or better than my SP4. Battery live is amazing too. I'm buying another one to use at home since I love it so much. What a great device by Microsoft! ** Update 1/9/19: Still loving this mouse! No functional changes at all and battery life remains fantastic. I only have 1 complaint however. If you look at my photo you’ll see that the mouse has started to change colors from use. I would prefer an option to buy this in black as I suspected this would happen over time. That said, I would not hesitate to buy this mouse again. Read more

I had previously purchased a Microsoft mouse that resembles the Apple Magic Mouse. The mouse was fine except that it was too small for my hand. My hand literally draped over the mouse which made it very difficult to use. I read numerous reviews on this mouse and a competitive more traditional looking mouse that sold for $20 more. The cost wasn't the issue, I just felt the ergonomic design of this mouse might make a difference for me personally. And was I ever right! This is the most comfortable mouse I've ever owned. My hand sits in such a way that my fingers are right were the scroll wheel is .. which is perfect for using the wheel. My right thumb sits in the crease of the left side of the mouse exactly where it should be. The three side buttons are easily within reach of my thumb. The angle of the mouse top is perfect in terms of comfort and how my hand rests as well. In terms of build quality, the sides are made of a rubbery material that grips nicely and the top is a smooth plastic that looks and feels high quality. No issues here with the build quality or the heft of the mouse. This is not the lightest mouse I've ever used, but without question its the best mouse I've ever used. Clicking the right and left buttons is basically noise free. You can hear a slight click, but nothing annoying by any means. I won't get into all the customization you can do with the mouse and the Microsoft software that you have access to. I use the mouse with one laptop and that's it. So, my concerns are connectivity and comfort. Not if it will work with multiple devices, which this does. In terms of connectivity, I have used the supplied USB cable for a wired experience and have used it without a cable. No dongle required for straight Bluetooth connection to the computer. Either way, the mouse is highly responsive ... the wired connection seems to be just a slightly more responsive, but not enough to make any real difference in my opinion. So, I'm sticking to wireless for now. All I can say, without getting into the technical details of the mouse, is that for your average user such as myself, this is a terrific option and one I would highly recommend. I give it 10 out of 10 stars! Read more

Rami James, [09/03/2024 21:57] I want you all to know that I've been on a journey of a sorts. I've gone through like ten mice over the past 18 months. None of them fit my hand right, felt nice on the table, had a nice tactile click, had a good scroller, etc. There was always something wrong with each mouse that I've bought in the past. Many of them were super expensive mice. But finally, i found the right one. This one. It's like slipping into the highest quality bed, newly made up, clean and cool and perfect. This mouse is perfect in every way. It's exactly the right size, has the smoothest table slide, absolutely nails the cursor feel, awesome click, and it has the craziest mouse wheel feature It has this button right above it that switches from a mechanical click-click-click when you scroll to a buttery smooth slide. There's a tiny motor in there that is engaging something and it makes the most satisfying clunk when it the click-click-click mechanical state is set. I'm so in love with this mouse Read more
