An ideal mouse to use with a laptop. Today's laptops seem to have fewer and fewer usb ports so the Bluetooth capability of this device is excellent. It 'pairs' with the computer the moment you switch it on, no additional software required to install.

having a mouse that doesn't stay connected is extremely frustrating. Iam going back to my logitech nano mx...which has been a reliable mouse.

does not require a usb dongle; works on existing bluetooth wifi card on your ultrabook/notebook (ie frees up a usb port

continually disconnects requiring full unpairing continually sleeps requiring 10-15 seconds to turn on not ready for market (using intel-AC-BT 4.00) with all recent drivers...advanced user

Looses the Bluetooth connection if it sits idle for more than 5 mins. then I need to either shut down my laptop or go to Bluetooth settings and remove mouse, then do a Bluetooth search for the mouse. A REAL BIG PAIN. I had hoped to come to Microsoft web site nd find some kind of a update.

Quick and easy setup All keyboard buttons and mouse movement is smooth and precise

The Sculpt Comfort's touch swiping complements Windows 8, but it isn't quite as useful in Windows 7. Right-handed Windows 8 users with a Bluetooth-enabled laptop should consider it; others, look elsewhere.

Contoured well for right-handed users; Tilting scroll wheel left and right quickly pans across Windows 8 Start tiles

Touch-tab swiping worked only intermittently on Windows 7; Can't set pointer speed or snap-to in the mouse setup screen

I enjoyed using this mouse in the brief time that i had it before returning it to Amazon. It worked on many surfaces (didn't) try it on glass), the blue start screen button was cool, but...

Dedicated start button; comfortable

Dropped b/t connections

Microsoft has produced a very competent keyboard and mouse combo that's well made and comfortable to use. If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI or similar, then the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Desktop won't be for you, and you'd be better off looking at the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop kit...

Good build quality Comfortable to use Wireless; As we've come to expect from Microsoft's peripherals; both the keyboard and mouse have excellent build quality; and they look good too.

Expensive Not many features Keys don't feel great Large spacebar can cause errors when typing; The keys on the keyboard could do with a tiny bit more travel to make typing on them more satisfying – sometimes you're not quite sure if you've properly hit a key when typing fast.

- Since the wheel issue drove me mad, I went out and bought another mouse.

Looks nice

- Material of the wheel is so slippery that I have extreme difficulties rotating the wheel; - Swipe feature of the blue side button does not work very well

Good mouse, sometimes it has problems connecting to my Surface but I blame that on Windows 10. Long battery life and very well designed. Comfortable to use, for people who like large mice.

The Microsoft Sculpt Mouse has an elegant body that feels great while using the mouse.It has the left and right button plus a scroll function like any other mouse but it also has a start button on the left side of the mouse.

Three shortcut functions that make navigating through window 8 a lot easier

The mouse is shaped for right-handed people
