Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CTMO Computer MouseCustomer Review: The best investment for my 2 yr old! Summary: 5 Stars
Chester mouse is an awesome little mouse!
I bought this with my 2.5 yr old in mind, but I also have a 5 yr old & she likes it too. It's smaller than I pictured it, but that is better for my 2 yr old. I had been looking around for a one-button mouse that was wireless & small for her, as I have a large wireless Microsoft mouse that came with my wireless keyboard. We have two computers that the girls use, my new laptop with Vista & an older laptop with XP on it. (Both hooked up semi-permanently with a keyboard, mouse & external monitor.) Both girls would right click by accident all the time & the scrolling wheel would do strange things on the Vista machine for them.
I had purchased a couple "laptop" versions of wireless mice for them and had no luck (especially with the Microsoft laptop mouse... the older one dropped it on the basement floor by accident & broke it... Microsoft did replace it for me though). After the Microsoft mouse broke, I was searching for a STURDY small mouse. I purchased a blue Logitech wireless laptop mouse & the 5 yr old seems to be doing well with it (that one's been dropped too but it seems to be more sturdy!), but the 2 yr old still had the right-click problems with it. So we put that in the basement since that's where the older one tends to play her games. I then looked into a "kids" mouse that was wireless, but it didn't work with Vista; it also had two buttons which I was trying to avoid for the 2 yr old. So I purchased Chester Mouse for Xmas for both girls, but more with the little one in mind. She absolutely loves it! She loves "Chester's" face on it at the bottom & she loves the small size! Now when she wants to use my computer, she goes right to the drawer we keep it in, saying "Own mouse, own mouse!" The wired part is not a problem at all, even with how I have my laptop set up on my desk. I also don't need to unplug my large wireless mouse at all... I simply put it out of her reach while she's playing. (Both work at the same time; what ever mouse you move moves the arrow.) I thought the 5 yr old might think it was too small & babyish, but she seems to enjoy using it as well... probably b/c she knows she gets so frustrated with the large Microsoft wireless one at my desk.
Definitely worth it if you have a 2 or 3 yr old... If you are looking for a 5 or 6 yr old, you might be fine with the Logitech wireless laptop mouse or similar one, but you may need to be willing to try out a few & have some bad luck with them... I found that you need one with a non-sensitive scroll wheel (or no scroll wheel), a non-sensitive mouse-click, and a mouse that is small... it was hard to find all of these things! And keep in mind, there is a time frame to return computer mice at most stores... If you are not willing to put up with trying out (& being unsuccessful with some), then just get Chester for them, too.
Purchasing Chester Mouse was also far better than trying to download & install a program that changes the mouse from one-click to two! (Yes, we tried that, too!)
