Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

switched on the mouse pressed the bluetooth connect button on the bottom and hey ho it worked.
Batteries last up to 2 months - pretty much constant use.
When not used for 20 mins or so does switch itself into standby but move it around and 4 secs it is back on
Oh and this is working with XP SP3 absolutely fine.

Buying one to go with a MAC in few days

Bought this mouse to use with my Bluetooth laptop and my PS3, and I must say the performance is great/smooth, easily as good as a regular RF wireless mouse, and much better than the last Bluetooth mouse I used which suffered from jitter and poor signal.
It's not 'too' small either like most notebook mice, and is very comfortable so far.

Form factor incorrectly described as double A batteries; should be triple A. Resulted in my having to carry extra type of rechargable batteries while travelling. Literature says buttons could be reconfigured but the Go Back One Page on the Web button only exist on the left side, i.e. suitable for right thumb but not left - annoying when often I alternate to using the mouse with left hand while the right hand is writing notes. These drawbacks were offset by good compromise in size, and a switch to turn off. Such a switch is not available on my other Microsoft or Genius Bluetooth mice. The neoprene protective bag would be nice touch if it had a velcro loop to go into a Shoreline branded neoprene notebook case. Quick and easy to set up with laptop using its built-in Bluetooth running on WinXP on SP3. Yes, would recommend it onto users' shortlist.
