Bored and chuffed with my purchase so i decided to take some gay photos.
Had a Microsoft Wireless mouse 6000, was ergonomicaly great but struggled to get a signal at 1foot let alone 3-4 feet.
So I read a few reviews which confirmed it was toilet, looking for a decent mouse, interested it Microsoft stuff really and stumbled across this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-ZJA-00045-Arc-Mouse-White/dp/B0027XMCIQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1342193527&sr=8-3
£2 cheaper now  
Anyway, photos:
Great range, its really light and installation took 3 microseconds. Neat bit of kit and very responsive

Looks nice, but I have to buy wired mice because I can't stand buying and replacing batteries all the time.

Never bothered with anything but Logitech.
Had a few keayboard + mouse combos from Microsoft at my old job, and they always felt like cheap plastic to me.
Folding feature of the Arc is clever though, if it's transported a lot.

Batteries in laser mice last 6 months easily. Think I change mine once a year, tops, but then it's not used 8 hours a day.

Same. Using an MX518 mouse and it's absolutely spot on.

Thats odd, Logitech stuff has always struck me as nasty cheap crap. China specials. Maybe they give you guys the premium stuff in Denmark??
Alex FFS. I Hope this doesnt do that.
Ade: Wired isnt an option, its for the PC in my living room and use in my laptop. So portability is nice (Never biothered with prev one as it is huge) But also i have limited space to store it when not in use so handy it all folds up out the way

I had that mouse for a few months, pretty decent, very sensitive, takes some getting used to the shape, not that great if your using a mouse for 9 hours a day as it doesn't sit that comfy in your hand, other than that a good mouse.
I now use a magic mouse 
i like the new touch Arc mice look though.

My magic mouse lasts 4-6 weeks on cheap batteries

Because it's bluetooth.
Never did feel happy about Magic Mouse. The full scroll surface with multi gestures is really nice, but I wish it would rest in my palm like a proper mouse. Also, the lacking ability to make a right click while resting your index finger on the mouse is a joke.

Try holding something like this in your hand and you'll never settle for less:

Had the original (silver) Microsoft Explorer for about 8 years and it was brilliant. Currently got some Logitech thing and it's absolutely shite! Never really got on with their MX series either

Balling that looks like the Microsoft one I just sacked off. It was ergonomicaly brilliant. John, your mouse looks good.
Parents use logitech stuff, maybe its their budget range or something but its horrid. Even the little graphics for volume on screen look dubious.

Will admit it to some getting used to but now its just 100% natual, when i use other mice i just cant seem to work as fast now.
