Notebook Presenter Bluetooth Mouse 8000

I just this Microsoft mouse yesterday and it is simply the best mouse I have used yet.

The bluetooth connection with my internal bluetooth chip was quick and easy. The media remote/presenter mode works great with WMP11. There is no delay whatsoever from standy or from a restart.

Now the cons. This thing is small. Smaller than my old VX Nano and much smaller than my usb Superman mouse. I know it is suppose to be portable but let's face it, do you use your notebook more at home than away?

Also, the scroll speed setting does not work after the installation of intellipoint. Uninstalling intellipoint gives me back that option but makes me lose the media remote.

Thoughts on this scrolling problem?


Best part, I picked it up for 30 bucks (15 with rebate).

 

Where did you get it for so cheap?

 

I just read that the presenter buttons don't work for pdf presentations or other non-PowerPoint. Can you verify whether that's true or maybe it's been fixed?

 

I'm considering the Genius 915BT Presenter Mouse, though this is the only user review I could find anywhere, and it leaves something to be desired!

(Here's another review, a little better: http://www.practicalpc.co.uk/reviews/hard/peripherals/genius-traveller-915bt-mouse.htm)

But it is Bluetooth, includes a laser pointer, and doubles as a presentation remote--and the description I've seen in other places seems to indicate that it would work for pdf's b/c the buttons supposedly function as "Page Up" and "Page Down".

 

Local store price. Got really lucky.

While in full screen PDF mode, the presenter mouse does not work. Though, you can switch to mouse mode and clicking the mouse button will switch pages too.

I use WMP11 and that works fine but I have a feeling that itunes and others probably wont work as well with this mouse.
