Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Macally BTMicro Portable Bluetooth Optical Mouse
Customer Review: BTMicro Bluetooth, great wireless mouse for Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
As Apple computer laptops are almost all Bluetooth capable as a default, having a Bluetooth mouse seems logical. I should not need to defend internal bluetooth connections as opposed to proprietary wireless mouses with USB adapters. Bluetooth rocks!
The BT Micro proved to be the correct Bluetooth choice from the beginning. The 10 meter range (printed in some places as 33 feet) is excellent, and works better than the microsoft mouse at my office. [I am lucky to get 2 feet at work with the microsoft mouse and it eats batteries in two weeks.]
The size is truly a mini and is small. I was concerned with having a place to rest my hand having never used a small mouse before, but the small size is friendly. It slides smoothly and the optical sensor functions flawlessly.
The rechargeable base is a great addition and the mouse comes with NiMH batteries. Definitely made to eliminate battery costs for the life of the mouse. The base stays home and the small mouse travels extremely well with long life. I have yet to drain the first charge over several days use.
The scroll wheel has been dependable. It scrolls on my Mac OSX in any window under the cursor. If a window has a scroll window, the wheel properly switches if the cursor is moved over the new desired window. I have yet to have a microsoft scroll which works as desired. The right button opens sub-menus properly which is a definite improvement over the single button mousepad Apple keeps pushing on people. Mac OSX is the best and most elegant operating system ever created but someone at Apply must eventually give up on the single button mouse and provide a right button and scroll wheel on all hardware. Come on already!
The mouse paired with my laptop on the first attempt without concern. The mouse goes to sleep if not used, and also immediately when I close my laptop lid. It appears to see the laptop go into suspend mode and reacts immediately. When I wake up the laptop, simply clicking the mouse re-establishes the Bluetooth pairing and function is resumed. It even has a true on/off switch to you can turn it off when dropping in a bag or if you want to look at the bottom for any reason and desire to avoid blinding yourself with the laser.
I would recommend this to anyone with a bluetooth link on any computer. I haven't figured out how program the buttons for different functions yet but so far the defaults are everything I need and I don't really know what I would change if I could.
Great job. Purchase with confidence. Hopefully they will sell enough to lower the price eventually, but the $43 price at the time of this writing is satisfactory and it is worth every penny.
