The Artist Edition of the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 3500 allows you to choose from six unique mice designed by five different artists. Auto-shutoff would have been a really big plus. Unfortunately, you have to manually turn the mouse off after use or the battery can drain overnight.

Battery status indicator provides battery power level. The mouse takes a single AA battery and has a 8-month battery life. My attempts to use the mouse on carpet and reflective surfaces were successful. The mouse continues functioning even in presence of dust which is a feature lacking in laser mice. This is a big advantage over optical mice that do not work on multiple surfaces. BlueTrack enables tracking on virtually any surface utilizing a large beam that allows accurate navigation on most surfaces and no trapping of the signal to the sensor. Microsoft has marketed this as the 4-wheel drive of mice due to the BlueTrack technology. The 2.4 gHz wireless range is up to 15 feet. Connectivity to the transceiver had little delay, unlike Bluetooth mouse. This Plug-And-Go feature is a great convenience for the mobile user. The mouse has a transceiver that can remain plugged into the USB port of the computer or stored within a slot in the bottom of the mouse when you’re on the go.

The mouse features Microsoft’s BlueTrack technology and USB transceiver for wireless connectivity. Microsoft’s Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 Â is a stylish mouse that is a comfortable fit for most hands and perfect for the mobile user.
