The Good Navigating Windows is a breeze with the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Bluetooth mouse. The wireless connection frees up your USB ports for other devices, its contoured shape gently cradles your hand, and the shortcut buttons will (probably) increase your day-to-day productivity. The Bad The mouse is designed for right-handed users only, and the glossy plastic finish is a sticky situation in warm weather. Not all features work on Macs and Chromebooks. The Bottom Line Microsoft's Sculpt Comfort is a dongle-free Windows wireless mouse that delivers superior ergonomics at a rock-bottom price. Microsoft's Sculpt Comfort is a dongle-free Windows wireless mouse that delivers superior ergonomics at a rock-bottom price. Sarah Tew/CNET If you've just picked up a Windows laptop or tablet PC and just can't stand using the stylus, Microsoft's Sculpt Bluetooth mouse is the best wireless solution we've found to free yourself from the cramped restrains of USB transceivers, because let's face it -- sometimes even one dongle is one too many.

Edit: I'm posting this so that, on the off chance that I never get around to creating this, some wily search engine result might pop this up for someone else trying to solve the problem. So I found this post using Google yesterday and tried figuring it out. Wii game wads.

As you can see, the mouse has a Windows button, which seems kind of hokey at first, but I've found it to be useful at times. If you prefer not to use it to access the Start menu/screen, you can disable it or configure it for other functions using the Mouse And Keyboard Center. The Sculpt Ergonomic keypad Having a separate numeric keypad is really a cool feature. Since you don't always need the numeric keys, being able to move the keypad off to the side and move the mouse closer to the keyboard is really a nice benefit.

The swipe up and down on the blue button only works on browsers (Windows 7). So I dont think the button should drive your decision to buy it.

Easy to do but what if user changed the hotkey? Anyway I want to switch spaces and not to simulate key clicks. • Find out how to switch spaces more or less directly. Some research told me that there is no public API for that, and all the known methods don't work in recent versions of OSX. Next I found out that Dock has the necessary methods. Now is the boring part – hooking up with Dock. Blah blah blah.

Now I had to decide how to switch spaces. I had two options. • Simulate hotkeys and make the app a daemon.

The only real, actual fault in the Sculpt’s design is a lack of thumb buttons on the ambidextrous design. As a standard mouse meant for everyday use, which can mean jumping between webpages or scanning documents, having those extra buttons available makes a real impact on both workflow and ease of use, and not having them there is almost sad. That is, in part, where the great new Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center software comes into effect. It’s reminiscent of plenty of game mice software which allow for button mapping or other special mice features, and Microsoft has done an excellent job of simplifying all of that for everyday users. Every device registered can automatically have it’s buttons remapped for both general use and even specific applications. For example, I set the middle mouse button as a back button in the browser, which is far more used than forward. That simple feature nearly remedied the lack of thumb buttons entirely.

Sarah Tew/CNET The integrated wrist pad is designed to combat bad habits before they become an issue. Those already suffering through carpal tunnel syndrome are surely familiar with the splints worn to prevent the hands from moving into problem positions. Sarah Tew/CNET The keyboard also comes with a removable riser bar that attaches to the bottom and pushes your wrists up even farther; personally, I prefer to type without it and still feel a relief from prolonged strain compared with a traditional, horizontal keyboard. The riser and the battery compartment door underneath include magnets that snap them into place, and Microsoft adds another nice touch by including Duracell batteries instead of the usual generic brands typically bundled with other peripherals. The keyboard uses two AAA batteries for power, the mouse uses another two AAs, and a small internal lithium ion battery juices up the number pad.
