Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse
On the whole, both the mouse and keyboard work as advertised in Windows 7 and 8. All we have to do is turn on our computer, plug in the dongle into our computer's USB port, power on the mouse, and voilà!
Pros:
- Encourages proper posture
- Modular number pad design
- One USB dongle connects the entire bundle
Cons:
- Expensive
- Some media keys don't work consistently
- USB Adapter sticks out too far

very nice mouse
I wanted to wait a couple weeks before I reviewed this mouse. I wasn't sure if I could get used to the scroll button, other reviewers said it was to different to get used to. I didn't find it hard at all. took a couple days, but then it was no big deal..

Microsoft Explorer Touch Mouse Review

Pros:
- Touch strip works well

- Attractive
- comfortable design
- Responsive touch surface
Cons:
- A little costly
- Only Windows 7 supported
- No gesture for zooming

Not a bad mouse, nice and useful gestures. However, I do miss the scroll wheel.

Not what it seems
This mouse seems well built and feature laden for Win7. Like the other reviews I find the scrolling to be intolerable: freakish behavior, too fast or too slow, difficult to control, the cursor at times just jumped around with no control, pages fly by. Very difficult to use overall.
