Pros

BlueTrack tech allows mousing on most surfaces, Storage niche inside mouse for tiny USB receiver, Easy setup
Also very comfortable in the hand, Solid tactile feedback on all actions, Performs well on any surface.
Designed for right- or left-handed use, Wireless, Can be used on a wide variety of surfaces.

Cons

Touch-sensitive flick strip is balky, overengineered, Vibrating feedback can be excessive, Low-slung design not comfortable for all hands
The touch strip always feels a bit… grippy, Still sloppy scrolling, but better than big brother
Design is not ergonomic.

De in deze review op touch gebaseerde muizen van Microsoft zijn innovatief en verbeteren op een slimme manier de scrolfunctie van een muis. Met de Touch Mouse kun je op veel manieren met sleepbewegingen Windows 7 makkelijk besturen. Dit gaat jammer...

Dette er et super stærkt produkt fra Microsoft. Musen ligger fint i hånden, er mobil, har rigtig god funktionalitet som virker out-of-the-box og så er den tilmed ikke ret dyr. Den ligger langt foran konkurrenterne fra Logitech og de andre...
