But as for what it is now, a wireless Bluetooth mouse, it certainly is one of the lightest and most comfortable I’ve seen and used. Over the next couple of weeks I have a few presentations to do so I’ll certainly be road-testing this mice out. Speaking of secret agents, there’s also a built in laser pointer which is not the biggest or strongest in the world, but certainly would be practical in a presentation. The battery compartment is actually very cunningly hidden under the casing which you access by clicking the Microsoft Laser logo which pops open a panel below it. The case also fits the USB/Bluetooth receiver at the bottom. The reusable part of the packaging is actually the clam-shell hard casing which spun around. Unfortunately the result is still an ugly mess of sharp plastic edges and ripped cardboard. On the back, it has these two tabs which helps you cut away the packaging. It makes more sense for this mouse in particular because of the presentation buttons at the bottom. So theoretically if you were at a retail shop, you could easily take a look all around the mouse without removing the packaging. The product name however falls on the opposite side of creativity scale.Īt first look it might appear to be just another transparent plastic shell, but then… Some people have complained it is difficult to open, but I think it’s innovativeness makes up for it. Is there any way to force the mouse to register itself differently without the FOB i.e.If you thought the Windows Vista or Office 2007 packaging was fancy, then check out this awesome re-usable packaging for the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000. Manufacturers part number: 9DR-00003 Corresponding OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Compatible models:Model to be equipped with a standard. I also noticed that without the FOB the mouse registers itself as a "HID-compliant device" (in Device Manager) but with the FOB it registers itself as "Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 (Intellipoint))". However, doing this defeats the purpose of having inbuilt bluetooth and one has to remember to carry the FOB + disconnect it before putting laptop into bag. If I plug the USB Bluetooth FOB that comes with the mouse into the laptop then the side buttons behave however they are configured in Intellipoint. Intellipoint lets me do this but the buttons continue to behave as though they are still set to default. I normally map side buttons to be Page Up and Page Down. But the 2 side buttons insist on retaining their default settings of Back and Magnify functionality. If I use the mouse with the inbuilt bluetooth both main buttons + wheel work correctly. I have a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop (Broadcomm BT)ĭownloaded and installed Intellipoint 7.0
