- Pomegranate (red)
- Dragon fruit (dark pink)
- Aloe (green)
- Milk chocolate (brown)
- Creme brulee (khaki)
“Buying a tech product these days is a declaration of personal style, and these special edition mice allow consumers to make the ultimate statement,” said Sean Butterworth, product marketing manager for Microsoft Hardware. “The Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 has always been a fan favorite, and these color updates will keep it in the forefront for years to come.”
