Microsoft has managed to cram a lot of extra functionality into this Bluetooth mouse, including the ability to control a PowerPoint presentation or a home theater PC, a laser pointer for being ‘that guy’ in the meeting and a usable wireless range of about 30 feet. But I can’t help but feel that after just a few weeks of regular mousing the labels on those buttons on the underside of the mouse are going to get rubbed off, making it a crapshoot when it comes to figuring out which one does what. I mean for $79.95 the least they could have done is etched them into the plastic or something, but maybe I’m putting too much thought into this…

  1. Perhaps we should be Microsoft engineers because I had the same idea. Etching it would have been a much smarter idea. Though at least it's not a whole lot of buttons to remember.

  2. I think this is a great idea, I've watched people use regular mouses to do things like this. This product will be so helpful for people that present a lot.
