This is not an ordinary optical mouse however, nor is it a refined laser cousin. This is seemingly the best of both worlds, a combination of optical and laser technology according to Microsoft. In testing we found the mouse worked effectively on a wooden desk, sofa, carpet and even on concrete. The only surfaces the mouse had trouble with were clear glass and mirror-finishes, which considering Microsoft says are out of the tracking engine’s league anyway, didn’t come as too big a surprise. The Comfort Mouse 4500 which we tested is the only corded version of Microsoft’s BlueTrack technology range of mice. Being corded the mouse proved very responsive throughout our test period; we never noticed glitches or stutters at all. Grabbing the mouse we found it sat well in our palm and the feel was as the name suggests, comfortable, even after long periods. This mouse can also be used by both right and left handed users. Another plus. The 4500 also has five buttons that are customisable along with a scroll wheel. While the buttons feel great and exude sturdiness, we found the scroll wheel a tad imprecise on occasion, as it was a little too willing to roll.
In theory, that should make it excellent value for money and great to use. But be warned, our test results showed that the reality was far different. Test after test, one bad result after another The first problem was to do with usability: why is there only one button on the side instead of two? If you have two buttons under the thumb, it's much easier to browse the web, going backwards and forwards from one page to the next. Microsoft might well reply that the other button is under the little finger if you're right-handed, but that makes it far harder to reach. And the opposite is true for left-handers who will find the left-hand button out of reach. The scroll wheel isn't great either. It turns freely—but too freely, so it's too hard to use. You don't have the precision of a scroll wheel that clicks around, but it moves too fast to get you quickly to the bottom of a page. It turns out that Microsoft used some fairly basic internal components, which wasn't much of a surprise. At this price, it would have been unusual to find a mouse that could report its position more than a 125 times a second—something more advanced mice easily beat, communicating with the computer up to a thousand times per second.
