Question: Can this mouse be plugged directly into the computer as well?
Document: For me, I am very, very picky about purchasing a mouse. So recently I purchased two of this Microsoft 3500 Wireless Mouse and tested it on my Windows 8 laptop and on my Windows 7 desktop. So I just booted up each computer and plugged in the nano transmitter and the mouse worked perfectly (in each computer worked great).
I bought this mouse for my wife because she used to have the same or similar one. She loves bright colors and so one brownie point for this mouse for coming in nice colors. The mouse worked straight out of the box. No issues so far. And the tiny little bluetooth receiver can be left plugged into the computer and the mouse can be turned off with a button on it! This is a simple yet neat feature.. don't need to keep removing the transceiver.
Purchased this for my laptop. I have small hands and this fits perfectly and is comfortable to use. Just put in the 1 battery that came with it, plugged it in to my computer and away I went. Works great!
Lame complaint, I know, but it does seem different from previous versions.3) Profile of USB plug, while much smaller, still does not allow for insertion into a snug-fitting computer bag. If you can fit your laptop into your laptop bag with this plugged in, your bag is too loose.Best yet, but still not perfect.
The mouse works very well, I'd recommend it to a friend.I wish that it was a bit larger, but it was intended for a portable computer.
Finally... using the touch pad on my net book was really getting old. Its fine for times when a mouse is not practical, but having an actual (and compact) mouse is much more convenient. The ability to store the usb module in the unit is great as well! Helps when connecting to a large TV too... one can control the computer from across the room. All around useful tool!
This allows you to keep the plug in the computer without leaving the mouse on (and wasting batteries).Problems:1) Seems to have a lag each time at startup. Maybe 30 seconds or so. I abhore my touchpad, and it is pure hell to have to use it, even for 30 seconds.2) Seems to repond well to fewer surfaces, compared to previous versions. Don't get me wrong, it will work fabulously on any reasonable surface.
Not much technical to say about a mouse other than this one works very reliably and, as it's wireless, there are no issues with connectivity. The USB module is extremely small and stores in the mouse base. However, when plugged-in the added raised profile is also so small, I just leave it there. The NetBook soft case is more than enough protection. Battery life isn't an issue; never had to change it after months of use.
Yep, I love this mouse. Great for a smaller hand. I can leave the USB transceiver plugged in to my laptop when I travel -or- store it in the bottom of the mouse so that it doesn't get lost (Plus it's just plain fun to pop it in/out of its storage slot - Heh, I'm apparently easily amused!). The mouse has an on/off switch to save on battery life too. I luv good tech design!
When I first bought this mouse, I loved it. It's nothing fancy, just a regular ol' wireless mouse. One of the best things about it is that the transponder is small and fits nearly flush against the side of my laptop when plugged into the USB drive. I also love that it has an on/off switch so I can prolong battery life, and I like that it has an LED to warn me that the battery is running low on juice.
Answer: No, there is no USB cord.  You plug the included "dongle" into the USB port and use it wirelessly.  In fact, I'm using it right now.
