Love them or hate them we all, including die-hard Apple fans, must admit that their computer mice are one, if not their best, products. Maintaining their tradition of releasing very comfortable and stylish mice they have quietly announced the new Wireless 6000 and 7000 series mouses.

Both the 6000 and 7000 model use 2.4Ghz wireless and have 1000 dpi sensors and will tell you how much juice there’s left in the battery through a small led at the top (hmmm… where have I seen that feature before?). The 7000 model (pictured above) has rechargeable batteries and comes with a charging dock. It will cost $70.
The 6000 model is aimed at laptops a bit more as it comes with a small use receiver that fits inside it, but both mice have the same size.
One thing is certain, if these mice feel as good as they look, Microsoft might have a couple of winners on their hands. And I think I speak for most when I say “it’s about time” for them to give their mice a real visual overhaul as these models have received.

1Sorry I guess I’m one of the few who hates Apple mice. It took them, what, 5-10 years after everyone else to get a second button, and a scroll wheel? Pathetic

2I agree, the Apple Mighty Mouse is not really all that mighty. I’ve always been a logitech fan, though I must admit this new offering from M$ is pretty.

3Hmmm that first paragraph is a bit confusing. I didn’t mean to say that Apple mice are good, I meant to say that Microsoft mice are.
Sorry for the confusion.

4My current mouse is a Microsoft – it’s an optical non-wireless but is incredibly comfortable for holding. I think I’ll stick with Microsoft for my next one as well.

5Microsoft (unexpectedly) makes some of the best mice. I’ve been using them for years.
