The benefits of using 2.4 GHz

  • Confident connection with virtually no interference. Intelligent technology “hops” frequency when it encounters interference, making it ideal for crowded wireless environments with multiple computers.
  • Wireless freedom. Users can sit back and click up to 30 feet away from the transceiver, even if it is out of sight
  • Easy setup and use. Users can just plug in the transceiver and start working

High Definition Laser Technology and smart software

Both mice feature Microsoft’s High Definition Laser Technology, which delivers advantages such as greater precision, smoother tracking and improved responsiveness. The new Microsoft mice also offer these dynamic prductivity features:

  • Smart software connection. One click of the wheel provides instant access to the Windows Vista Flip 3D features, letting users flip through open windows and quickly switch between applications for added productivity
  • Magnifier tool and Tilt Wheel. Users can perform popular commands with a single touch
