Microsoft L2 Wireless Mouse 5000 MGC-00017 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless BlueTrack Mouse

Pros: - Full-sized mouse for my large hands.
- Good tracking.
- Back and forward buttons.
- Decent battery life in office environment (3-4 months).

Cons: - Smooth scroll wheel: This bothers me the most. Not only do I miss the click feeling, I often accidentally scroll because there is nothing to stop it.
- Off switch is triggered by holstering the receiver dongle, which takes extra effort if you are using this in an office environment (i.e., not packing it up every day). Battery life doesn't seem to be adversely affected, though.

Other Thoughts: Researching mice size was close to impossible because some manufacturers don't publish their dimensions and local stores don't carry all of the brands.

I wouldn't say I have giant hands, but using a mouse that is too small or slender is difficult for me and that seems to be only kind anyone makes in the low- to mid-cost wireless range. If you want a large mouse most of the choices are expensive gaming mice.

I would still prefer a slightly wider mouse but this one is a nice compromise between size and price, despite the highly aggravating scroll wheel.

Pros: I worship the 5000 mouse. Fits my large meaty paw. Paranoid they may quit making it, so this one is my ace in the hole. It seems to be exactly the same as my other one even though the SKU is different. I use the Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Center software. It is very slick, although to configure the pointer speed you still have to go to control panel>mouse>pointer options.

Cons: Wish the transceiver was not so long. I can't put it in the front of the PC because the dog or I would hit it. Consequently I have it on a cable that is hot glued to the desk under my mouse. I wish it came in colors so I could tell my 2 apart (I put red dot on one mouse and the transceivers are interchangeable)

Other Thoughts: I know of no other mouse across all brands that is this size with 5 buttons that works so well. Tell me why, Newegg you don't have a picture of the transceiver? Had to call one of your pre-sales people to determine if it is the same as the previous 5000. He finally found it on Google for sale in another store by using the UPC code. And yes I tried calling Microsoft and the don't show this model is even in their database - yet. A single picture would have saved me two hours.
