The wheel covering has a nice grip, though, and features the Microsoft name as part of the "tread".

The scroll wheel has a simple rubber covering wrapped around its surface, instead of being a solid piece like on most other mice, which feels a bit cheap as there is a tiny bit of slack that could stretch over time with use. The top surface of this mouse is constructed of hard textured plastic, while the two sides are lined with softer rubber. There's also a battery status indicator light below the scroll wheel that illuminates red when the mouse is running low on power. In addition to the standard right and left click buttons, there is a clickable scroll wheel that tilts side-to-side, and two thumb buttons on the left side. The unit is solid black with chrome accents lining the edges. The Laser Mouse 7000 is a 2.4 GHz wireless pointer that features an ergonomic design and very clean lines. Microsoft supplied us with three mice for this round up: two of them are targeted at gamers and the third is a general purpose high performance mouse branded as Microsoft Laser Mouse 7000, which we will be looking at first.
