Overview

Not a wired or dongle-based mouse, this Microsoft Surface Mobile Mouse connects over Bluetooth only. A touch scroll surface replaces a traditional wheel, and BlueTrack optical tracking lets it work on most desk surfaces.

The reason to buy is a portable, ergonomic mouse that pairs without a dongle and works for either hand. The limit is compatibility: the computer needs a newer Bluetooth version, and many Apple and Windows 7 devices fall short.

Who it's for

Mobile workers with a Surface Go or similar laptop will use the light body and ambidextrous shape. People with an older Windows 7 or Apple machine should check Bluetooth support first, since the description warns that many such devices do not meet the requirement.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Touch scroll surface
  • Works on most surfaces
  • Long average battery life
Cons
  • Needs newer Bluetooth
  • Battery type entry unclear
  • Only three buttons

Performance notes

BlueTrack technology reads many surfaces that stump a standard optical sensor. The touch scroll area registers swipes in place of a mechanical wheel. A low-power Bluetooth link supports the long average battery life.
