Bluetooth WS3-00001 Surface Mouse

When I bought this mouse a couple weeks ago I had done enough research into it and knew exactly what I was getting prior to buying it: a very simple mouse with no frills or extras to it. The aesthetic is what mattered to me and was a joint purchase with the Surface Keyboard. The major areas that actually factored into my rating were how well it operated, how it felt in the hand, and how the buttons and scroll wheel felt. Review may be modified later once battery power has been adequately determined since it's too early to tell. Operation - No real operational issues therein. I do feel it's a little bit sluggish once in a while when it's been sitting idle for a bit and then moved, but this is expected behavior of nearly all Bluetooth devices that have been sitting idle. The thing works as a standard Bluetooth device and will pair with pretty much everything, be it your phone, tablet, Mac, or regular PC/laptop with Bluetooth capability. Feel - The contours feel pretty good in the hand and the weight just right, if only on the light side of things. It glides pretty well over most surfaces, but I would still recommend a mouse pad for best results. Buttons - Clicks feel just right with a light press to operate while still resting one's fingers on both without fear of mis-clicking something. Scroll Wheel - The wheel is the only thing made of metal on it. The scrolling has good feedback, but the middle-click feels a little tight. This is probably intended in order to prevent accidental clicks while scrolling. In the end, it's just a very standard, very simple designer Bluetooth mouse. What you see is what you get here and the aesthetic and feel would really need to be the only reason for buying it. It's perfect for an office environment and/or those who are seeking to create a minimalist desk, especially when paired with the Surface Keyboard.

I personally love this mouse! It is really ergonomic and the surface texture feels good in the hand. The color also works really well with the surface studio computer and keyboard. I tend to like a simple mouse that doesn't have too many functions and this is very minimal and easy to use. The scroll wheel feels really nice as well as the click feel, not to mention the sound is a good click that isn't too loud. The battery life is great and very rarely need to change the batteries, maybe once or twice a year if you are using it a moderate amount. I don't do a lot of gaming with it, mainly work. That being said, I'm sure it would be great for casual gaming if needed. Otherwise it is a great all-around mouse that would be a great addition to any desk setup.

The fit and finish is on par with the Apple Magic Mouse 2, and maybe even a step above. It doesn't have the aluminum base, but the plastic is finished in a finely matte frosted treatment that makes it feel almost like the Alcantara material they use for the Surface Keyboards. The metal scroll wheel literally feels like a high end watch crown. Like smooth, heavy, well-engineered metal. If you're like me, you'll find yourself scrolling up and down even when you don't need to. I also really enjoy the aesthetic of both this mouse and the companion keyboard. They look timeless and modern atop a desk - I just wish they made the keyboard in a mechanical version. I've tried gaming mice in the past and found them to be either too bulky, over-engineered, too small, or some combination of the three. This mouse feels large enough to have been designed for actual human hands, without having too much bulk on top. It's not a gaming mouse, but I have no issues gaming with it at all. It also happens to be as precise and smooth as any gaming mouse I've ever used - and doesn't require any proprietary software to get it tuned in. It works right out of the box.

Others here have said that it loses connectivity if you don't use it for a few seconds/minutes, but this has never happened to me. Perhaps they have power saving enabled in their Bluetooth adapter settings? The mouse feels very premium and has a good amount of weight. It isn't too small like a lot of Bluetooth mice are. The clicking is a tiny bit loud but I don't mind at all. I was very happy with it, but the left click stopped working reliably almost exactly one year after I bought it, but I don't think it was because of any defect, just heavy use.

All of my devices have minimal USB ports available (SP4, SB, Lenovo Helix) and Bluetooth mice have become a necessity in my life. Before purchasing the Surface mouse I used the Sculpt Comfort, designer Bluetooth, and Arc Touch SE as my mice and they were all quality options but didn't match the look and feel of the Surface line. I did my research and found the designer Bluetooth mouse is the precursor to the Surface line but this new model has a higher internal hardware grade and more desirable aesthetics (IMHO). Over the last month I've come to appreciate the slightly larger form factor as it fits more comfortably in my hand and appreciate the matching Surface design. Pros: Quality build and higher end technical components, long battery life, uniform Surface design aesthetics. Cons: higher price than other mice with similar functionality (paying for looks and Surface name), requirement to pair again if switching devices (a Bluetooth protocol requirement that exists on all Bluetooth mice)

My favorite low profile and elegant Surface mouse choice!

There are no disadvantages except that it is expensive.

This piece may be defected !

Premium quality and highly responsive. But if you are inactive for a few minutes I think it goes in some kind of sleep mode to save the battery. Then you need to move the mouse a little to awake it.

Great mouse. It is on the lightweight side but it is perfect for me. Batteries add enough wait so you still feel the mouse. The mouse is made of good plastic. It tracks great. I love the scroll wheel, it is metal, very smooth and quiet. Bluetooth pairing was simple and works flawlessly for me. Love having a Bluetooth mouse for my laptop, no more dongle!

Un muy buen producto, cómodo, fácil de usar, elegante. Un ratón caro pero que vale cada peso por su calidad.

Looks elegant and is fit for purpose.
