This is a decent mouse with forward/back buttons, however the middle scroll wheel could use some improvement, other Microsoft mice have been better.

No drivers needed - just plug and play; Standard sized mouse; Forward/back buttons on mouse are useful for web browsing

Scroll wheel doesn't have a great feel; it's a bit choppy; The middle click on the wheel isn't good; it is hard to press down on it and it scrolls a bit when you click too; Previous Microsoft mice were much better

Microsoft hardware goes one of two ways: it's either mind-blowingly good, or something that isn't fit to keep a door open on a windy day. Keyboards are no exception, and when you find a good Microsoft keyboard, it will be with you for a long time.

Great design; ideal for media centre PCs; cover makes a great tablet stand

Fairly hard to type on; almost unbelievably expensive

I think the "for business" part of the item name means it's going to last longer. Anyway, so far it's pretty good. There's a little button on the side my finger keeps hitting but it doesn't activate anything.

For $25, the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 is a decent deal for a standard wired USB mouse. Whether or not the Comfort Mouse is really comfortable is really a matter of preference, I have fairly small hands and have adjusted just fine to the mouse and have been using it for almost seven months.

I just bought this mouse and am trying it out. The mouse button clicks are too loud. The wheel provides no ratcheting feedback whatsoever so it feels strange, and the scrolling looks strange on the screen because it scrolls a web page continously instead of in increments, yet seems jittery perhaps...

To be clear, in my review I'm not referring to the lurchy, lightning fast scrolling behavior some users have reported. All that can be adjusted in the system mouse settings and product's companion software.

Size; location; and comfort of side buttons; overall size of mouse; tracking precision

Scroll wheel, scroll wheel, scroll wheel; Two deal breakers here; First, it's smooth as a plastic wheel on a toy train and has no discernible cogs whatsoever to provide that nice, solid tracking certainty every scroll wheel should provide.

I've been using this mouse for quite a while now, and I've got to say, it's so much better than my newer wireless mouse. I mean, have you seen the amount of batteries I would have to throw away each month because of that danged thing?

Programmable buttons, BlueTrack; (:D), and a sleek, neat design

Rather cramped key layout; Not ideal for longer typing sessions

When Microsoft first announced the Wedge Touch mouse for Windows 8, plenty of people wondered whether the blunt, flipper-shaped device was actually practical. Its accompanying keyboard, meanwhile,...

Innovative form factor that actually works; Tiny and light; Surprisingly comfortable; Convenient Charm keys; Protective cover / stand works well as both; Portable but not cramped

No Windows 8 gesture support; Relatively pricey; Scratches easily; Keyboard cover fits a little less closely over time; Price is on the high side
