This handy optical mouse features a tiny snap-in receiver that plugs into your notebook when you’re ready to work, and snaps into your mouse when you’re ready to roll. And extended battery life lets you enjoy wireless freedom for up to three months.
Microsoft Optical Technology is also available in a variety of Microsoft wireless mouse products. These wireless products enable you to use your mouse without the clutter of yet another cable.
The Microsoft BX3-00008 Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 features breakthrough power-saving technology that significantly extends battery life. Recent testing has shown Microsoft mouse products to have greater than three times the battery life of a major competitor's. And IntelliPoint software, included with every wireless optical mouse, notifies you when your battery is getting low.
The optical sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail (such as glass) or surfaces on which it has a reflection (such as mirrors or glossy surfaces). The optical sensor may also have difficulty tracking on highly repetitive patterns (such as printed magazine or newspaper photographs, which often are composed of many dots per inch).

My wife wanted a mouse for her laptop. Got this one and it is just ideal for her. And I don't have to use that silly little trackball anymore! Like the battery power saver feature too.
Great Mouse!

I had chosen this to go with a new laptop purchased, and am very pleased with it. It is a nice size to work with, and quick and easy to hook up. Putting the usb transmitter back into the bottom of the mouse, shuts off the battery and if the promised long life of the battery works, that is great.

Bought this external for my 10.2 net book and it works great. It's a plug and play so nothing fancy has to be done to it. The part I like is the storage feature for the mouse reader, it stores underneath the mouse. So far so good and at a great price!
Snap-in Receiver
A small receiver snaps into the bottom of the mouse when not in use. When the receiver is snapped in, the mouse turns off, conserving battery life.
Longer Battery Life
Finally, a solution to the top wireless hassle—now you can work longer without interruption. Many users experience six months of battery life!
Wireless Freedom
Experience the convenience of wireless keyboards and mouse products, and say good-bye to clutter.
Optical Technology
Optical technology refers to the use of an optical sensor to track mouse movement, rather than the traditional use of mechanical parts. As a result, optical mouse products work on most surfaces and offer you better durability, increased speed and accuracy, and consistent performance.
Increased Speed and Accuracy
The optical sensor uses digital technology to track pointing device movement, so you'll experience greater accuracy at any speed.
Consistent Performance
With no mouse ball or moving parts to keep clean, the optical sensor stays precise, and the mouse and corresponding cursor move smoothly.
Works On Most Surfaces
The optical sensor works on nearly any surface*, so you no longer need a mouse pad. You can use it on your desk, the kitchen counter, or even your pant leg.
Less Frequent Cleaning
The recessed lens is enclosed and never touches your desk, so you hardly ever have to clean it.
Durability
A mouse with an optical sensor lasts longer than a conventional mouse, because it has no moving parts to wear down over time.
