Microsoft claims the battery life for the mouse with regular use is eight months. The wireless mouse also features additional clicking options on the right and left side of the mouse, further adding to its ambidextrous design.
We like the large and wide surface of the mouse - it fills up the palm and provides a comfortable place for your hand to rest. This enables you to scroll through pages horizontally by pressing the scroll wheel left and right. It also has four-way scrolling, a feature that few mice in our lineup have. It features an ambidextrous design – Microsoft didn't forget about all the left-handers out there. So, if possible, try to avoid using this mouse on a glass surface.Īfter a long period of use, we really like the mouse. It performed great on all other surfaces. It would also jump from one place to another making it difficult to use. On a glass surface, the onscreen cursor became sluggish and not nearly as responsive. This is a typical problem with mice that have a laser sensor. Glass was the only surface that gave this mouse any trouble. We tested all mice in our lineup on multiple surfaces, including wood, laminate, denim, carpet, marble and glass, to see if various surfaces affect the responsiveness of the mouse. Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 Review: Mouse In comparison, this battery life is fair. Other keyboards have as short as a two-month battery span while others claim to have up to three years of battery life with a single set of batteries. This falls middle of the pack in terms of battery life.
The wireless keyboard operates on two AAA batteries and has a battery life of up to 15 months. If you are planning to pack this keyboard around, take note that it does take up a bit of extra space in your bag. It is labeled the Comfort Desktop 5050 probably because it's designed to stay on your desk. At 8.6 inches wide and 1.8 inches thick, this is one of the largest keyboards in our review. A wrist rest and media keys give the keyboard a large footprint.
