You place the mouse on top of it, and the charging indicator comes on. In the office it was working through three walls and about 30 feet before it started to lag.Д¬harging is done via a docking plate that is roughly the same footprint as the mouse. The receiver for this mouse can pickup signals far beyond the range you would ever be away from your computer.

Drivers were not required for basic operation, but to buttons to specific functions you need to install the Microsoft provided software. Setup was very plug and play, with only pairing of the receiver and mouse to start working. The laser pickup worked flawlessly on almost every surface I tried it on, including pants, bare desk, and mouse pad. Responsiveness was excellent, with very little perceivable lag вЂ¦ it really felt like a wired mouse. Mouse movement on the computer is very smooth, having a very precise movement from the laser pickup. Tension was very light to flick with your finger, but the wheel would not continue spinning more than 1/10th of a turn before stopping. I prefer scroll wheels that click, but that is entirely user preference. Scrolling motion is smooth and notchless, and the only part of this mouse that I donвЂ™t like. Overall, the design is virtually identical to the new Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (see below). The two customizable buttons on the side are easy to find, but placed high enough to prevent hitting them by accident.

The middle mouse button (wheel) click does require more effort than the others, but was not a problem once you got used to it. Compared to my Logitech Revolution MX (see images below), its sliding action is much smoother even on bare desk surfaces.ДЄction buttons on the mouse spread out in a way that is easy to hit with your fingers, and donвЂ™t take too much effort to click. Moving the mouse around on various surfaces take very little effort, having some of the best Teflon pads I have ever seen. The design of the mouse is wide to accommodate your fingers in a resting position, keeping your fingers off the mouse pad while you are sliding the mouse around. The Laser Mouse 7000 has a very sleek and comfortable feel. Microsoft High Definition Laser Technology.
