The good: New BlueTrack mouse sensor works on almost any surface; well-designed rechargeable base station; included rechargeable battery; snap-in USB receiver.
The bad: No dpi toggle button; mushy scroll wheel.
The bottom line: The Microsoft Explorer Mouse deserves your attention for its BlueTrack sensor technology that lets you use it on surfaces where other mice fail. Laptop owners, or anyone else who uses a nondeskbound computer, will benefit from Microsoft's innovative new technology.

What about these of us who are left handed
by lifeartist2000 on January 13, 2009
Pros: I can't determine the pros because there is not a left handed version or if there is or is not it as usual not mentioned in the review
Cons: This may or may not be a great mouse how I will never have the chance to find out, because I'm left handed like around 1 in 8 people. Why is not consideration in reviews not give to the fact that this sizeable group is not cater for.

Summary: I don't suppose a left handed model is in the works or can be ordered. It 'll probably cost a premium for obvious reasons. Is the silver paint like many other mice that I come across? I don't like painted mice. The acid in my fingers not only smoothes the surface but takes of the clear-coat off.
