You have to select the entry area with your mouse, then start typing. It’s selected, but if you start typing, nothing will happen. Hit the calculator key and the calculator will open, but it won’t quite be in focus. Well, with Windows 10, things have made a turn for the worse.

On others, it would follow the preferred route and bring into focus the currently open calculator, or open the calculator application if it wasn’t already running. By that I mean, instead of pulling into focus a calculator app that is already running, it would instead keep opening new calculator apps. On some computers, hitting the key would open a new calculator instance each time. On Windows 7, the calculator key (or more appropriately, the software driving the key) was a bit hit and miss. Tap the calculator button, wait for the calculator app to launch, move your hand down to the number keys, and start calculating. It’s a simple thing, really, and isn’t exclusive to this keyboard, by any means. One of the handiest features is the conveniently-placed calculator button.

Because of that, I won’t make a judgment without trying it out.Ahh, my good ol’ Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v2.0. Even I had doubts about the mouse which I now can’t live without. However, mice is a hard thing to judge from the outside. Lastly, the grove around the scroll wheel has also shrunk.įrom what I can see, version 2 looks less comfortable. The thumb buttons have also been streamlined to be thinner, which could also be good since I find myself clicking them accidentally once in a while. The thumb inset appears to be much deeper, which might be good since I find it currently too shallow. Instead, every surface is smoothed from end-to-end. I was curious to see what’s changed.īy comparing the photos, all of the finger and thumb grooves have been removed. Personally, I wouldn’t have called it version 2 if I saw these mice side by side.Ĭurrently, I own a Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and use it everyday. Notably it has undergone a significant redesign. In the documents made available contains quite a few revealing photographs of the new mouse design. On November 8 the FCC published Microsoft’s appropriate filings for an apparent update to the Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 mouse, appropriately dubbed version 2.0.
