with a black mouse.\u00a0 I thought, \u201chow cool!\u201d a new color \u2013  something other than the boring almond mouse I\u2019ve used for a decade.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure why its taken so long for computer mice to catch up with  fashion, but the time has finally come!\u00a0 Thanks to Microsoft*, I am now  sporting a fashionable pink mouse that dresses up my desk with style.\u00a0  But this mobile mouse sports more features than just style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 Features:<\/strong><a

mouse on granite, wood, metal \u2014 even carpet!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nano Transceiver &#8211;<\/strong> a small USB thumb drive to connect to your desktop or laptop.\u00a0\u00a0It travels well by plugging it into the bottom of your mouse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2.4 GHz Wireless<\/strong> \u2013 can connect to and control\u00a0your computer or laptop up to 30 feet away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>10 Month Battery Life<\/strong> \u2013 uses a AA battery.\u00a0 This is impressive as my HP wireless mouse\u00a0needed batteries much more frequently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4 Customizable Buttons<\/strong> \u2013 you have more than 25  choices to reassign the buttons on the mouse.\u00a0 Customize the left  button, right button, scroll wheel, and sliver side button on the  left-hand side of the mouse.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>there are many colors with different designs to choose from.<\/li>\n<li>these mice are very eye catching and unique \u2013 they are sure to receive attention on your desk.<\/li>\n<li>the left silver side button is very handy \u2013 clicking on it can take  you back to the previous page \u2013 or you can customize it to copy, paste,  magnify, etc..<\/li>\n<li>the built-in holder on the bottom of the mouse for the USB key is  handy and innovative \u2013 without it you\u2019d surely lose the USB key in  transit<\/li>\n<li>the BlueTrack Technology truly works \u2013 I conducted scientific tests on my winter pajamas, a blanket, and our shag carpet!<\/li>\n<li>the mouse worked 10 feet away from my computer \u2013 seamlessly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you have to pay for style.<\/li>\n<li>the mouse is the size of a normal mouse, so I\u2019m not sure how often
