Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington PocketMouse Wireless Mini Travel Mouse ( 72214 )Customer Review: Great item Summary: 5 Stars
I was concerned by all of the negative comments below. However, I chose the Kensington anyway for the simple reason that it has an on/off power switch...I do not like the idea of constantly plugging/unplugging into my USB port, I'm leary of wear and tear on the hardware. Well, I'm finding this to be a great little item. To the negative comments...I had no difficulty at all opening the battery compartment; reading a review below (Angela Preimesberger's) about positioning your thumbs just below the "Kensington" label and pushing out or up worked very well for me, and the battery compartment door opened right up with nominal effort. Setup was a snap: The mouse auto-powered on once the batteries were inserted...I plugged in the receiver, pressed the receiver's connect button, pressed the mouse's connect button, and it was set to go. I might add that several people indicated they needed to use something like a pen or paperclip to get to the mouse's connect button, but I found simply pressing the button firmly with my left hand thumb works just fine, no need for a pen. As an added feature, one which I don't recall reading in the description, the scroll button is actually both a horizontal and a vertical scroll button...move the mouse left/right or up/down and the whole page moves accordingly. The scroll itself is just right for me...there are register "clicks" when you scroll, but the clicks themselves are soft and silent. All in all I'm very pleased with this little device. It works just as advertised, I encountered no problems, and I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging a receiver into USB. I might add that it even comes with a little travel bag.
