HD Review: Microsoft Wireless 6000 Mouse

2009-02-01
alright guys today I'm going to do both a hardware and software review on the Microsoft Wireless laser mouse 6000 version 2 so this is the mouse um the hardware a part of it it's not that interesting really it's just a simple high definition laser mouse you have obviously the button on the top that scrolls I'd smooth scrolling it's not notched so you don't get the sense of the feedback you have to look at the screen to actually see how far you're scrolling um the left key the right button I think it's reversed for you guys but bear with me on the left hand side it'll look like you're right on left hand side we have a forward and backward mouse click buttons so if you're in an internet browser which I will show you you can go forward click go backward click um very simple on the bottom you have the lasers right the laser is right in that hole right there you will keep the receiver which is approximately that size plug into a USB 2.0 port but if you feel the need to uh turn the mouse off so you're going on vacation and you don't need your mouse plug it right in there it turns the mouse off and when an ounce is turned off it will not use battery power it'll save a lot of battery life if you turn Mouse back on this light will come on it's a green light right on the front of the mouse nothing important just lets you know it has been turned on and will work now so I'm going to go ahead and show you the software part of it simple Mouse yeah I'll show you the software which is much nicer ok here's the part where I get into the software basically I'm using my camstudio screen capture software to record hopefully HD or high quality at least so go ahead and click the HQ link or HD link at the bottom of this video and I'll be reviewing the software the software comes with the mouse unfortunately when I got the mouse itself the CD hold on I'm going to try to show you the CD that came with it it was actually cracked so I had to call a Microsoft and they gave me a link to download software and the drivers for so let me get the CD hold on now I couldn't find the CD but you know that shows how much I need it I don't you can download it anyway if you want to you don't have to use a CD because there might be a more modern there might be an updated version of your firmware or software free to use with your mouse so if you get a new mouse or you get some new hardware I recommend you download the drivers from the manufacturers website and the reason I knew that was a Microsoft Wireless laser mouse 6000 version 2.0 was obviously was on the box but it also says it it'll say on the bottom of the mouse what version you have and everything so I'm yeah that's it um so go ahead and enjoy the a software parvis right here's the software part of this review there to access the customization software for the particular ones I show John the next using Windows Vista it'll start menu search feature type in maps and hit enter which will select the first program Microsoft Mouse this will bring up your window with Mouse properties looks just like Microsoft built it in its that I'll use hardware and software tabs the first thing you can do is program what the different buttons do if I if I hover over the left button as you can see there it is click here so there's 11 the right button will rear thumb and front thumb and that's exactly right some sits in that little little curve right there this is the actual connected device which I'm using to as I'm recording the co-writer the buttons tab it's it shows that right handed which means that the left button is the prime I button double click speed which I basically dictates how fast you have to click to open a folder so that's how that's how you can touch your settings under pointers this is basically what it looks like um all the different themes when it's working in the background when it's busy this is the Vista Aero system scheme all these is what it comes with you can change that any way without the software pointer options all the rest of these things are basically came with Microsoft but the until appoint software is really with the buttons where you select which Microsoft Mouse you have and then you can program them accordingly um also hardware you have to make sure you know which you have to make sure first of all that your you can use your touchpad and still want to by enabling this one and go to properties make sure this device is working properly otherwise you won't be able to use your laptop without your mouse so I also have the wireless mouse and the touchpad um that's basically it I'll show you why say I'm browsing the internet uploading a video now so I'll open a new tab and say I search something and then I search something else and I want to go back I'll just hit my back mouse button see my house didn't even move and now we're searching something again now I'll hit my forward button without even touching the mouse searching whoa okay I guess I accidentally made that the magnify button by accident sorry about that but a cool feature and I can see exactly what I'm clicking so the forward button is a magnifier interesting and if I hit it again it D magnifies it's a little effort to open it which is interesting I like it so um if you like this software and you like this hardware matter of fact if you like this review go ahead and hit that yellow button next to the video subscribe to my channel there will be a ton more coming so yeah I hope you liked this video please okay
