what should i do if the laser component on my microsoft wireless mouse 6000 is not working?

Oct 15, 2008 by Jeff | Posted in Add-ons

I tried new batteries and the connection function works, but the laser does not light. Is there a life on the laser technology?

I have the same problem, but Microsoft said that to try it on another computer, change USB ports, or press the connect button 5-6 times. I tried everything above and nothing works. tomorrow im bringing it to buy better and I'll see if they can fix it.

what is the entire point of the side button that is on the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000? i know there's the right click, left click, scroll, and the back button to open up the battery thing. but that is the point of the button on the left side?

I believe it's the Magnifier button.
Do you have the drivers for your mouse installed?

Tech News: Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Review

Microsoft’s take on the ergonomic mouse strikes a delicate balance between usability and relief. It’s a bit taller than an average mouse, and its sloped design forces your hand into a more natural “handshake” position which works wonders to relieve inflammation of the tendons running along the underside of your wrist. The two main buttons make up most of the surface on the top of the mouse, which allows you to click with your entire index or middle fingers, and a large groove on the left hand side of the mouse provides a comfortable saddle for your thumb. The scroll wheel is downright amazing in that it simply rolls back and forth with no resistance whatsoever, almost as though it’s somehow lubricated. Wonderful though the scroll wheel may be, its actual placement makes it awkward to use as a third mouse button. I’ve historically used middle mice buttons to open new tabs in browser windows, but pressing the Microsoft mouse’s scroll wheel takes too much straining so I’ve been relegated to holding down the CTRL key on my keyboard instead. The wheel is positioned too far back on the mouse’s body to easily click downward with an index finger. The wireless mouse uses two standard AA batteries to communicate with a USB receiver. Battery life is rated at over six months (I haven’t had the mouse long enough to actually verify that claim yet), but the receiver needs to be placed within a few feet of the mouse in order to avoid intermittent signal drops. Thankfully, the USB cable attached to the receiver is nice and long, allowing you to position it nearby. There are also two programmable buttons located between the thumb and index finger, but they’re so hard to effectively manipulate that most users will likely forgo using them altogether. They’re just out of thumb’s reach and placed too far back to be clicked by the index finger quickly enough to make the effort worthwhile.
