Customer Review: Piece of Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I was so excited about getting this mouse. Although it was more expensive than many similar ones, I thought I would splurge for a nice color (purple) and I figured it would at least be good quality as Microsoft is a major brand name. I guess I should have known better. After waiting what seemed like forever to get this mouse for my new laptop, it finally arrived. I opened the box, installed the battery, and replaced the battery cover. I plugged the receiver into the USB port and voila! No mouse. I went through the simple setup and still no mouse. I quickly realized that the mouse wasn't lighting up -- no power at all. I opened the battery cover, double-checked that the battery was inserted correctly and found all to be in order. I closed the cover and the red light blinked on for a second, but immediately went off. That's when I realized the problem! The battery was not making good connection. If I squeezed the mouse end-to-end, the light would come on. If not, it had no power. Can you say...USELESS? Um, YEAH! So this $22 mouse is a piece of JUNK. The design of this thing is HORRIBLE - the thin plastic and chintzy metal leads that the battery touches and the placement of the battery inside. It's all a poor design that makes it likely that many people will have similar issues with the battery not making good connection. The metal leads that the battery touches are so flimsy that they would bend very easily. And 1/32 of an inch of movement and the battery no longer makes connection and the mouse no longer works. I've never seen a wireless mouse with such sloppy design of the battery compartment!
I returned this product to Amazon for a refund, but have yet to receive it. I do hope that I get my money back for this hunk of JUNK so that I can buy another mouse. Meanwhile, I still have a new laptop with only an irritating touchpad and no real mouse. Thanks for nothing Microsoft!
