Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Review

Posted on March 10th, 2009 | by

Introduction

I love this mouse. Aside from a few minor quirks, the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 has
been a comfortable, durable, and very pleasurable mouse to use on my laptop.

The MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 is a transceiver free device, meaning you don’t need to plug anything in
or keep track of a USB adapter to use the mouse. By using Bluetooth technology the 5000 can be
used without an adapter, but the PC or laptop must be bluetooth enabled. Most new laptops already
have bluetooth built-in. If you don’t have bluetooth support on your PC you should consider
a bluetooth adapter, since it can be used for many other devices such as your mobile phone.

Installing Bluetooth Mouse 5000

The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 does not include its own transceiver. Instead, the mouse
relies on the desktop, notebook, or portable computer to have a transceiver built into the computer.
How the mouse will connect to the computer by Bluetooth varies depending on how Bluetooth is
implemented on the computer. You may have to contact the computer manufacturer to find out how to
turn on Bluetooth on the computer and how to add a device to it.
