Razer Orochi Bluetooth Notebook Gaming Mouse

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:28:20 +0000

This bluetooth mouse is very unique and was designed specifically for gamers, but it could work for many other purposes. Razer Orochi might not be a brand you may have heard of, but that doesn't mean they offer an inferior product. In fact, this mouse averages 4 out of 5 stars in customer reviews from various sources. The first thing you notice about this input device is the interesting shape of its body. This is what you would consider an ergonomic design and the purpose of it is not only to look cool, but to provide comfort and proper support for your hand and wrist during regular and extended periods of use. One feature this computer mouse has that sets it apart from other bluetooth mice is the addition of a "wired mode". This basically means that in addition to this product connecting to your PC through Bluetooth you also have the option of switching it to wired mode and using the included USB cord to connect it. Gamers love this feature because sometimes with wireless connectivity you don't get the sensitivity and accuracy that you would using a mouse connected by a wire. This feature alone makes it one-of-a-kind. The Razer Orochi has a 4000dpi 3G Laser sensor, which allows movement speeds five-times that of a regular 800 dpi optical mouse. This also is a spec that gamers look for. Other benefits this product offers include an ambidextrous design so you can use it with either your left or right hand (helps relieve hand tension if you alternate), on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment, Ultraslick Teflon feet on the bottom surface, and a gold-plated USB connector. When used in wireless mode this mouse is powered by 2 AA batteries (typical). When sifting through user reviews you won't find may cons to this model, but one thing some people don't like is that the scroll wheel on top functions as a free-scroll only, there is no way to set it to ratchet. One other con is that it doesn't work very well with Mac computers, the buttons are not fully programmable like they are on a PC.

Sony VAIO Bluetooth Wireless Mouse

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:27:26 +0000

This bluetooth mouse by Sony is actually designed specifically to match VAIO CS notebook computers, but it can be used with any bluetooth-capable PC. At first glance the shape of this device is a little funky, and it definitely looks different than all of the other mice reviewed here. They offer this model in three different colors to go seamlessly with their laptops: Glossy Black (VGP-BMS55/B), Sangria Red (VGP-BMS55/R) and Cosmopolitan Pink (VGP-BMS55/P). They also offer bundle packages that include a matching mouse pad if you need one, but the part numbers are slightly different. We wouldn't really consider the shape of this mouse to be "ergonomic" in any way, but nonetheless it seems fairly comfortable for regular use. It uses laser technology for tracking which allows you to use the mouse on a larger variety of surfaces than an optical model, and also increases battery life (just by a little). It also has a low friction, non-stick PTFE sole that allows for effortless and extra smooth movement. This mouse runs on two AA batteries with an estimated battery life of approximately three months. The maximum operating distance is stated as 32 ft. which is fairly standard and the dimensions of this device are 2.3" (width) x 4.8" (height) x 1.4" (depth). You'll need Windows Vista or XP installed for this mouse to work properly with your computer. The retail price of this peripheral is $69.99 (and that's what Sony sells it for on their website).

Logitech M555b Bluetooth Mouse

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:00:15 +0000

This one is brand new as of summer 2009 and it shows some improvements over the older models which is always nice to see. The general design and shape is still pretty much the same as usual but it does have a slightly sleeker look than say the older V470 model. Its the typical dark grey color and it has laser tracking technology, which makes it very smooth and precise on a wider variety of surfaces than just an optical mouse, including wood grain or polished tables and desk tops. However, laser mice still do not work on glass or mirrored surfaces, so if you have one of those you need to use a mouse pad or something similar. It also has five programmable buttons which is nice and its fairly easy to setup and configure with the included software. The main upgraded feature that Logitech highlights with this bluetooth mouse is the improved, larger scroll wheel. They call it "hyper-fast scrolling" and it basically makes it easier and more convenient to browse through long documents and web pages, which can make hours of web surfing more productive and, dare we say, more fun. The M555b has an integrated low battery indicator and a sleep mode feature to help extend battery life. The actual part number for this mouse is 910-001265 and the retail price is $59.99.

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:52:57 +0000

The model 5000 is Microsoft’s most portable wireless notebook mouse that connects directly to a bluetooth PC without a transceiver, freeing up USB ports for other devices. Microsoft calls it a “high definition” laser mouse which they say makes it more precise and responsive, and that it delivers smoother tracking. The 5000 has an ambidextrous design which means you can use it with either your left or right hand and it is comfortable both ways. It also has a bit of an ergonomic design so it will help reduce discomfort during long hours of work and will help prevent some serious long-term conditions. It has four buttons including a Back button and the scroll wheel. You can use the Back button to easily navigate between folders and web pages, or you can press the scroll wheel to enable auto-scroll. Auto-scroll saves time and effort since you can navigate documents and websites without using the on-screen scroll bar. This mouse also claims a 3+ month battery life which can be achieved by turning the device off when not in use. When it finally does get close to running out of power it has a red LED indicator light that illuminates to alert you when the battery is almost dead. This mouse is a mix of light gray, dark gray and black in color and the MSRP is $49.99.
