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.

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.
