Smooth 4-Way Scrolling
Featuring high-definition laser technology, the Microsoft 69K-00001 offers laser precision as you scroll through your files. Smoother tracking means less strain on your hands and wrists, and higher responsiveness means you'll quickly notice an increase in your productivity. The mouse also offers four-way scrolling, adding even greater efficiency and comfort to your work. The entire scroll wheel tilts from side-to-side and reacts to how quickly you roll the wheel for smooth, accurate maneuverability. For example, imagine yourself working with a super-wide spreadsheet loaded with data. With the Laser Mouse 6000 you can tilt the wheel from side-to-side to scroll right and left without having to click-and-drag the application's tiny scroll bar or arrows. And if your desktop is cluttered with too many items to find what you're looking for, don't fret. This mouse has a built-in Instant Viewer -- just click the scroll wheel button to display your open windows, then point and click to select.
The Magnifier
If you work with loads of digital imagery, you'll love the mouse's magnification feature. With this feature, it appears that you have a magnifying glass pressed against the screen. With a simple press-and-hold motion, the Magnifier enlarges the area of your screen that fits inside the lens. You can easily adjust both the size of the lens and the level of magnification. So when it's time to touch-up photos or fine-tune detailed tasks, the Magnifier will quickly become your best friend. (The magnifier works with most programs, but it is not compatible with Direct 3D API in full-screen mode, media players, OpenGL, or Layered Windows. Also, if you're using Mac OS X, the Magnifier enlarges text and images on the entire screen.)
Battery Life
This mouse also features advanced Microsoft technologies that help prolong the life of your batteries, which means that you can spend more time working and less time running back and forth to the store. The 69K-00001 automatically enters standby mode when it's inactive for a set length of time, which minimizes unnecessary battery drain. In addition, the light in the mouse's optical sensor illuminates only as brightly as necessary to provide optimal tracking power. And although it is inevitable that your mouse will eventually run out of juice, the Laser Mouse 6000 comes equipped with a battery life indicator that warns you when the battery is running low.
As the name implies, this mouse is completely wireless, which means you'll never have to hassle with cords again. Loaded with five customizable buttons, you'll have quick access to the media, programs, and files you use most often right at your fingertips. The mouse's ergonomic design features soft rubber material and a shape that feels as natural as a handshake. With a sophisticated form, the Laser Mouse 6000 has a cutting-edge look that will complement today's latest technology. So if you work with a computer that runs Windows XP/2000, has an available USB port, and 45 MB of free hard disk space, the Microsoft 69K-00001 could be the mouse you've always wanted.

Pain.......2007-12-29
My wrist was aching a half hour after I started using this. Also, it sits up so high that if your mousepad goes under your desk at all, you will need more clearance. A huge disappointment.
Extremely happy - reduce pain of CTS.......2007-12-02
I bought this mouse because I'd been diagnosed with mild carpel tunnel syndrome. The mouse makes a world of difference, and my pain has gone away. Mouse is a quite large, and "thumb" buttons are difficult to use if you have smallish hands. I think it's designed for a man with larger hands than I have. However, even so, I'm really very happy with this product.
Wireless Laser Mouse.......2007-11-27
I have corpal tunnel in my palm and my regular mouse was really making it ache. This mouse has really releaved that and it has need features, too.
It works well for me.......2007-11-26
I had a Microsoft wireless laser mouse for three or four years, until the scroll wheel wore out. It worked reasonably well, though the software or reception was at times buggy. Still, I wanted something better so I tried a couple of mice from Logitech: the MX Revolution and the MX620. They were beautiful and felt great, but one was DOA and the other did not work well with the software for the Mac PowerBook that I'm using it with. So I finally bought this laser mouse 6000 from Microsoft. It does what I want it to do.
Positives:
- It feels good
- The software works well and, unlike the Logitech; it does not force me to use the right button as a dedicated right-click button (I use it for "double-click")
- I prefer AA or AAA over rechargeable batteries, so this works well for me
Negatives:
- It is slightly too high so I keep bumping into the side buttons
- The side buttons should have been located slight lower to on the mouth the work well for me
- I like the scroll button on the Logitech better, but this one is still good and responsive
- The stationary UBS receiver unit is bigger than need be, it seems to me--yet another long wire to contend with. Why not an unobtrusive UBS receiver stick?
Great mouse but..............2007-11-21
This is a great mouse but two problems that have with it. One is that it is very heavy once the batteries are in it. After a while it feels like you're trying to move a brick. The other is that the side buttons are located to high and aren't positioned low enough for a comfortable clicking back and forward with your thumb. The price is way to high for a mouse.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent product in every way; beware other reviews of wrong item!.......2007-12-14
Most of the reviews here are for the WRONG product; they are for the combination light and fan, not this specific model (PA015U). Reviewers have a responsibility to pay attention and provide accurate information.
I have a 17" notebook computer. It's large enough that it has a standard size keyboard INCLUDING a full built-in keypad. This light provides complete illumination sufficient for a touch typist. I use my computer daily, travel with it, and have no problem with the light even in total darkness. It also comes in a great travel case, is easily adjusted, and unobtrusive to the user.
I highly recommend this unit. It is yet another excellent product from Targus.
Its great !!!.......2007-08-27
Its just as promised and more over, the fan is really awesome and doesn't really impact your battery when you are on battery alone.
It Works!!!.......2007-08-11
Don't have Air Conditioning but this little fan kept me comfortable during 90+ hot humid days - no sweat running down my face. The light is an extra to me & they just plug into USB ports so no extra electricity is being used.
No switch and expensive.......2007-07-15
Fan works well. It creates a nice quiet breeze that effectively cools your face while working on a laptop or a PC with a monitor that has a USB plug. The fan does not have a switch allowing you to turn it off. Also less expensive fans have not only an on/off switch but a light in the tip of the fan to keep you aware that the fan is on so you don't startle yourself if you put your hand in the blades. If you do put your hand in the blades, the most that can happen is being startled.
The light is effective at illuminating the keyboard of your laptop or allowing you to see behind your desktop PC. Again, there is no switch to turn it off, if you are planning to use it permanently plugged in.
The fan will not cool a hot PC and the light will not illuminate your desk.
Together, I think they are expensive. You can get really inexpensive versions with switches that will last as long and allow you more flexibility in use.
Affordable and reliable........2007-01-10
I purchased this USB light/fan combo mainly for the fan. I'm one of those guys who is a human heater -- always a little warmer than everyone else. I use this fan when I'm studying in the library, on the computer at a coffee shop or even at home using my laptop at the desk. It provides a nice little jet of air right at my face which makes me feel cooler all over. I can even direct it right in front of me and only the nose of the rotor head is visible because when the fan is running, of course, you can see right through the blades. The fan runs quietly too. I've had a couple of times when the fan is making a bit of a noise or isn't running a quickly as normal. I just pop off the rotor head, adjust the blades a bit (they are flexible vinyl and I give them a little twist and a crease to make them more rigid as they sometimes get bent in my carrying case), pop the rotor head back on and it's good as new again.
While I like this product a lot, I doubt with frequent use that it will last much more than a year but I still think it's well worth it. My only regret is that I didn't order two or three of these for future back-ups if needed.
The light works well too. It does not illuminate the entire keyboard but in a dark setting it does provide enough illumination for the typical user (a hunt and peck typist may be frustrated but I think it may be enough light for that kind of visibility as well) and definitely enough light to read from a book or hard copy document.
