If you want a mouse that lasts, go elsewhere. I'm not sure what sort of time frame Microsoft used in their analysis, but it surely wasn't for full-time computer users. I'd put it at maybe 2 months tops, based on my use. Also, battery life is NOWHERE NEAR 10 months. I'd check, but can't find a safe way of getting the darn thing open.

I assume the exterior has flaked off and collected inside the case, and this is what's causing the trackwheel to "drag" through most of the rotation, which has caused significant finger irritation. After inspection, I noted that its sleek coat was gone, the rough inner layer now exposed. 7 or 8 months in, started having difficulty with the trackwheel. Not a problem, but definitely an indicator of things to come. After a few months, I noticed some bubbles appearing in the rubberized grips. I used this as my primary mouse at work, 40~ hours of use per week. This thing was obviously not intended for everyday use. Overall Review: Started out great, but wore down quickly.

battery life nowhere near advertised, even if diligent with turning off the bluetooth no "sleep mode" for bluetooth track light, which stays on & drains battery unless you turn it off manually trackwheel deterioration, subsequent snagging, causing finger irritation Low-profile transceiver means less hassle/accidents
