Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 – Black
Note: This might be long, but I believe it is worth the read.
After having this mouse for over 7-months (Christmas 2009 gift), I have never had any issues with the mouse or nano-receiver.
I have had to change the battery once already after owning it 6-months, so I don’t completely trust the rating Microsoft gives it with a 10-month battery life.
I do like how compact the mouse is since I have small hands (based on normal glove sizes).
I really like having the side button which I have set to “Back,” because that is the most useful setting I have found to use it for.
My Quibble:
The largest grip I have is the wheel has NO feedback mechanism to let me know what is “one mouse roll.” So even at slow scroll speed with accelerated scrolling enabled, I have found myself 90+ pages into a PDF after just one roll of my finger (yes, at some speed). And even without the accelerated scrolling enabled, it still gets me 5-pages into the same PDF with just one roll of my finger…and I can NOT sense what amount of roll will give me the desired vertical movement within the document.
I understand not having the feedback mechanism on the wheel actually means the wheel mechanism will probably last longer, but it can get pretty frustrating scrolling a bit too far. And without the feedback mechanism, this mouse is super-quiet which is the reason I received it as a gift.
Nano-Receiver:
As for the nano-receiver, I have had my PC on for over three-days now and the nano-receiver is still cool to the touch. I understand that USB connections provide a standard voltage, so the PC and its USB connections should not be to blame for a defective nano-receiver. And being in the electronics manufacturing industry, I can say it sounds like Microsoft (or a third-party vendor) has very poor manufacturing quality because nano-technologies require a high-level of precision to produce. A small over-flow of solder (the thickness of a piece of hair) can create the type of issues everyone is complaining about. And in the reason why most manufacturer’s have specified warranties (typically one-year but currently 3-years with this mouse) is because all defects should surface within that time frame, otherwise you have a “good unit.” And if you nano-receiver fries while under warranty, as frustrating as it is, force Microsoft to give you a new one at no cost to you! (I always keep a wired mouse and keyboard around for such reasons)
And to compound all of this, I believe (not sure though) both the mouse and nano-receiver are ROHS-compliant. And if a ROHS-compliant electronic part is left without power for many months, it can effectively generate its own “shorts” and there was no “slip” needed in the manufacturing process to generate…the lack of use did it!!! (For more info, look up the phrase “tin whiskers”)
