Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 ?

[snedger]

Hello
Are you getting the new ergonomic, RSI resistant mouse from MS?
There's reviews out there, but can't see sign of it anywhere.
N.B. Microsoft do another mouse with words like "wireless" and "6000" in the name, but the one that I'm after is the "natural" one, that you hold in a handshake position.
Cheers

I will enquire about this with Purchasing in the morning.

I am sure we will be stocking this

Have you considered the Logitech MX1000? I have one at the moment, and i must say it is far better than any of the microsoft mice i have had previously. My last Microsoft one cost £50, was pretty unreliable signal wise, and is nowhere near as good as my Logitech one which "only" cost £40.

Logitech have got a new one out - the Revolution MX - and looking at the reviews its pretty hot stuff!

Chrisp,
Thanks! I hope Scan do get it, 'cos if I get this final compenent from you, then for the first time I will have managed to do a complete PC build with all components from the same company!

Thanks for the tips. I really wanted to go for the Revolution, but the mouse is for my girlfriend who has a shoulder rotator cuff injury and would benefit from the new design of the Natural 6000.
I've looked at the other more quirky RSI friendly mices and they are just too different - the natural 6000 design is inbetween and so there won't be so much of an issue with having to get used to conventional mouses again when she is hotdesking.

Same question - are you getting it?

It's been on a lot of other sites for a while now and if Scan aren't getting them soon/ever, I really can't put off purchasing one.

MX1000 here for some time now and never had any issues with it....
