Hi chakkaradeep

Yes I really like the Instant Viewer its actually part of the latest Intellimouse software package.

I have an old Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Mouse and downloaded the latest software from Microsofts site. The Instant Viewer and the magnifier features are both really useful, and work in either XP and Vista.

The instant viewer is a real nice feature, not sure why it wasnt a Vista feature, the Microsoft Mouse team should be congratulated for making great software for their great mice.

Nice! But this does not compare to the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Apple Mighty Mouse. Buy them today:

newscientists2000, the rechargeable batteries did not come with the Cordless Desktop S 510 - they are my own. However it did come with standard batteries which was nice.

@dovella,

I agree that its hard to upgrade things in Mac. I was just telling the aesthetics of Apple Hardware which is also present in some of the Microsoft Hardware and one such is Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter 8000 mouse :)

@newscientist2000,

I am not sure about Gyration. I haven't seen one here in New Zealand :(

Here is a very kewl feature that you may get with this mouse ;) - http://chakkaradeep.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/instant-viewer-with-microsoft-presenter-8000-mouse-rocks/

I feel this Instant Viewer should have been default in Vista ;)

Chakkaradeep your right that the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 looks pretty cool.

Actually Ive been looking at some of the Gyration Presenter Mice and wondering if theyre any good.

Brandon you stated that your using rechargeables, are they the batteries that came with the keyboard rechargable or did you buy them separately?

re: Unboxing Logitech’s Cordless Desktop S 510

newscientist2000 — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 02:00:13 GMT

I have a Microsoft Optical Desktop 1000, not bad and functionally similar to the Logitech keyboard. Since mine is an older model its not quite as slim as the Logitech you have.

The only thing I would be curious about is the batteries, I wonder if new Eneloop or other Hybrid rechargable batteries would fair well in such a keyboard? Sure Standard Batteries are great and cheap, but they have to be disposed after 6 months.

Brandon,

Though I love Windows and Microsoft a lot, for hardware I prefer Apple ;). Vista runs *PERFECT*, Keyboard and Mice too are good...Microsoft should really come with their own PC kinda thing for Windows Vista...I am really sad to see how OEMs make Vista installation so bad and tiresome for the customers that make them downgrade...I really vote for it...Windows Vista is really a good system and it really depends on the machine it runs in.....

That said (and enough of rants,lol), I love Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000...Thats an awesome piece of mouse + presenter and very very sexy for Vista :D)

dovella,

I had blogged about the removal of "Search" from the Windows Vista Start menu in SP1 back when the first SP1 beta was released:

http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2007/09/24/experiencing-windows-vista-service-pack-1-beta.aspx

As to my opinion, I really don't have much to say.

ashish, the S 510 does have a battery status indicator that will flash when the battery is low... and Logitech provided a app that runs in the background (on on the taskbar) that lets you check the battery status quickly as well.

Windows Ultimate User, no only some wireless keyboards and mice have a rechargeable dock to charge the device. The S 510 uses AAA and AA batteries. My AA batteries are rechargeable themselves so when they die, I can plug them in to a charger and they charge right up. Unfortunately the AAA batteries however are not rechargeable.

i love microsoft's mice.

I just wish that someone with release a keyboard that doesn't have so many buttons that i would never use. it end up making the keyboard uglier and bulkier than it needs to be.
