And we’re down to the last one. The final laser mouse I have for review is Microsoft’s Laser Mouse 6000. This is the little brother to their Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, yet the two look nothing alike. And, also unlike its big brother, the non-wireless model is directly targeted at the gaming market.

This lighter and svelter model takes on the look of a gaming device with a smooth graphite-like color scheme and no frills button layout. Come to think of it, perhaps this is more like a first cousin to the wireless version. The sculpted contours and ergo-friendly designs are less dramatic in the wireless model yielding a simple, and ambidextrous, mouse. The big question today is, how will Microsoft's new "gaming" mouse compete with the likes of Logitech and Razer?
