Customer Review: Great little mouse! Great range, easy to get running.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this mouse for about an hour now and so far it works great. Although the packaging was a pain to open, this thing was really "plug and play." Easy to get the batteries in, easy to get up and running...just plug the USB receiver in and you're good. No on and off switch to worry about, just plug the receiver attachment into the mouse. That shuts the power off. Battery life is quoted at a year. (We'll see.)
Although the mouse comes with software, I didn't need to use it, which is important since my work laptop doesn't let me install software (no admin rights!).
I thought this device should use 2 AAA batteries instead of 2 AA batteries to cut down on the weight, but the extra weight gives the mouse some heft, which gives it controllability.
The wireless transmitter on this mouse has amazing range. I went 30 feet away and it still worked. I would have tested it further but the mouse cursor was too small to see and my house isn't that big! This would be easily usable for presentations, with the advantage of the presented not being tied down to the laptop and projector.
I didn't realize that this mouse also has some bonus features. The optical reader isn't that bright blinding red, but is invisible. Also, the scroll wheel can scroll left and right, as well as up and down. This hasn't worked for me yet, probably since I didn't install the software!
So far I'm quite happy with it. We'll see how easy it is to travel with it!
Customer Review: Good value, good quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this mouse several months ago, and it's served its purpose pretty much exactly as advertised. I have an aluminum PowerBook G4 with OS 10.4, and it was plug and play without a hitch; I was also able to use it without any special configuration on Ubuntu Linux (Breezy Badger), although it doesn't seem to be possible to get the side-scrolling to work on that operating system (probably due to a limitaion in the operating system, not the product). It's a little small for my hands, but I have big hands.
There are really only two things I didn't like about it: first, it's a lot more sensitive than most other mice, so you'll probably have to do some configuration to get it to a comfortable setting -- I guess if you use it with a lot of different computers this could be annoying; second, attaching the wireless receiver to the mouse is supposed to turn it off, but I've noticed that occasionally it doesn't turn off and you have to take the batteries out and put them back in to get it to turn off. On the other hand, in the months I've had it, I've never had to replace the batteries.
Overall, I would recommend this product if you want a reasonably priced wireless mouse.
Customer Review: Reliable, always easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this mouse about a year ago to use with a laptop I had recently purchased. The mouse outlasted the laptop.
First off, the best thing about this mouse is its ease of use. Although it comes with additional software, all you usually have to do is plug in its USB receiver and the mouse will start working within seconds. After I switched computers, from a PC to a Mac, it still worked flawlessly and installed in a snap.
The battery life of this mouse is ridiculous. It runs on 2 AAA's, and it lasted almost 8 months on its first pair of batteries. Usually, I'd just plug the mouse in when I woke up in the morning and left it on the rest of the day, but the mouse's battery life still lasted an amazing amount.
In short, this was one of the better computer purchases I've made. Although it now contrasts with my white macbook's design, I still wouldn't get rid of it. I find the USB wireless to be much more reliable than bluetooth, and I think this mouse is the one of the best wireless laptop mouses on the market, especially for the price.
It works so well, that my father replaced his desktop mouse with it after he get to try it out.
Customer Review: excellent cordless mouse for laptops
Summary: 5 Stars
It is my first cordless mouse because I has been reluctant to get one due to worries about unstable connections and bad battery life of cordless mice. This one exceeded all my expectations.
The connection with the computer is great. It instantly connects when you plug in the receiver into the USB port, even if you are using it for the first time with a particular PC. I works with Macs too.
The battery life is great too. It powers from a pair of AA batteries, which I haven't changed since March (i.e. over 6 months), and this is my only mouse so I use it all the time.
The receiver fits well on the bottom of the mouse, switching it off and saving the battery life. I carry the mouse in my backpack among other stuff and don't remember the receiver has ever separated from the mouse.
As with many optical mice, this mouse doesn't like some surfaces. For example, my mouse act erroneously on a dark-grey marble-like colored desk, so I am using a mouse pad. However, it works great on fabric, sheets, uneven surfaces.
Highly recommended. I am using the second one, because the first one was given as a gift to a co-worker.
Customer Review: wonderful!

But this mouse is AMAZING. if your willing to now spend around $50 for a mouse this is definitely a good choice. I have never been able to get far away enough where I could still see my laptop and have the mouse not reach.
Its really comfortable under my hand. Its very light without batteries inside but with them inside its the perfect weight.
It works an nearly any surface. I use it on my legs, my stomach, on my leather couch, a wooden table. it works everywhere.
Battery life is AMAZING. My first pair of batteries lasted a little over a year. and i used it a lot.
The only tiny complaint i have is that you have to put the usb back into the mouse to turn it fully off. but i think the mouse does have a sleep mode because it takes half a second to respond after I havent been using it for a while. But with the incredible battery life it doesn't matter. my brother got the same model and he ever put his back cause it had it plugged into the back of his pc and it also lasted almost a year.
