About this deal
As with most of the company’s desktop mice, including the recent Explorer, the transceiver can be easily slotted into the mouse’s base. Unfortunately the recess is quite shallow meaning the dongle protrudes from the base, but at least it’s held in securely thanks to rubber grips.

Thankfully eschewing Bluetooth, Microsoft’s 5000 utilises 2.4GHz RF for excellent reception within a range of around nine metres. The accompanying transceiver is nice and sleek, though it is quite large compared to the miniature dongles found on both Logitech’s and Microsoft’s own notebook mice. With a wireless range of 9 meters, users have the freedom to move around without being restricted by the mouse's positioning. This makes it convenient for presentations or situations where the computer is not immediately accessible.
To power the device, the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 requires two AA alkaline batteries. These batteries provide a service life of approximately 8 months, ensuring long-lasting usage before needing replacements. The software included with this product is licensed, not sold.
