Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000
The bluetooth laser mouse 8000 is Microsoft’s first wireless rechargeable computer mouse. It uses a single AA NiMH battery and can go for a very long period of time between charges, sometimes up to a few weeks (depends how many hours its actually on). Regardless of when it finally does decide to start dying, the battery life indicator at the top of the mouse alerts you when it’s time to recharge. It utilizes 2.4 GHz bluetooth technology to connect to your computer and works at up to a range of 30 feet with virtually no interference. Microsoft also claims you can experience speeds faster than that of a standard wired mouse, but we’re not sure how that’s even possible, or how anyone would actually notice that (maybe gamers). The 8000 has high definition laser technology which Microsoft claims to be two generations ahead of other standard optical and laser mice (they seem to be extremely confident in their products). It has a bunch of buttons that you can program to do different things like most mice, but a unique feature of this mouse is the genuine brushed-aluminum metal casing. This makes it look extra sleek and makes it feel as good as it looks. The manufacturer’s part number is 4CH-00012 and the MSRP is $89.95.
