The smooth scrolling wheel is handy if you are scrolling long distances, but not so useful if you just want to move a page at a time.

The scroll wheel doesn't have much tactile feedback/well defined 'ticks' for scrolling (unlike other mouses), making it difficult to control the amount you are scrolling in applications where the scrolling is quite sensitive.

Unfortunately due to the inconsistency between applications, this means you need to adjust your scrolling behaviour for each application.

The Intellipoint software doesn't have an option to scroll 'x' lines (or 'x' pages) per 'tick', just a slider from 'scroll a little' to 'scroll a lot'. The vertical scroll (at least in Vista) varies widely between applications - in IE a single 'tick' scrolls much further than in Word.I might get used to holding the mouse over time though.

I find that my hand feels stiff and sore after a few hours of use. The mouse is small - and the shape doesn't support the middle of your hand as well as the other mouses (see below).In Vista, it's a simple click to restart the software, but you'll need to use your touchpad (or another mouse), or keyboard navigation to get to the button to restart Intellipoint Instead, Intellipoint crashes when you resume. The Intellipoint software doesn't seem to cope too well if you put your laptop into hibernate, and the underlying BT stack doesn't reinitialise quickly enough.you can't use Logitech Setpoint along with the Intellipoint software) The Intellipoint software insists on uninstalling other 3rd party mouse software (e.g.Sizes: The Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000 (far left) compared to (from left to right): Logitech VX Revolution, Logitech MX440, Logitech MX1000, Logitech Dual Mouseman I don't use it, but others might find it useful to protect their A$150 investment. It comes with a hard shell case to store the mouse (and receiver) in.It has the additional presenter buttons on the bottom (back/forward, blank screen, volume up/down, as well as the laser pointer).Like most of Microsoft's other mouses, it symmetrical, so left handed users will have no problems using it.It's small (this could also be a negative) - smaller than the Logitech VX Revolution (see pictures below).

Additionally because it uses the inbuilt bluetooth chip, there's no need to carry a receiver around (though one is supplied if you need it). It even works well with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (which is probably the worst in the world). The dongle defeated the purpose of having an inbuilt bluetooth chip, and the supplied software didn't work with some other BT peripherals I had. The previous Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse (I think it was the Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth) pretty much insisted on you using the supplied dongle, and using the supplied bluetooth software.

It seems to work well with your inbuilt bluetooth chip (if you have one, e.g.

I've been using it for about a week now, and have formed the following impressions: Andrew Coates already has a review of his Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000, so I'll add to his comments in my review.
