Customer Review: it maybe the best wireless mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
i got this mouse from wal-mart bout 6 months ago(it was a little cheaper there, i got the only 1 thats left,cause i think most people think its a good mouse and thats why theres only 1 left). after i bought it, i just plug it in my usb port, and it only took about 2 seconds for my laptop to install and use it ,but it doesn't take time to load after that.i went about 5 feet away with my mouse from the reciever and i'm still able to control it. this mouse is a bit small for people who have big hands, but i think that won't be a major problem.the mouse came with a battery, it lasted bout 4 months after consecutive use.this mouse is also good for playing pc games.i play alot of videogames and i think that accuracy is 1 of the most important element and this mouse is probably 1 of the most accurate mouse i have ever seen,it has never drag the mouse across the screen like my other mouses did. this is a very good wireless mouse, but the reciever broke for no reason after i used it for 5 months. i dont no why it happened,so i decided to get another one soon cause this mouse is a must have!
hope this review helps.
Customer Review: Great mouse for your laptop
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this mouse two months ago when I received my laptop and began working on a BIG project. I have been putting in 12 - 16 hour days and this mouse has been awesome. The size of it is just fine, its not too small and not too big. And its still on its first battery (duracell); considering the amount I've used it, its doing great.
Pros:
Good size, battery life is looong, scroll wheel feels nice, pretty responsive, decent range (I dont use it outside of 2 ft but who does?), plug it in and its instantly working, USB adaptor stores very nicely into the bottom of the mouse (which also shuts it off).
Cons:
The USB adaptor has a hinge that feels flimsy. It hasn't broken or anything bad, but I just personally make an effort to be careful with it because it doesn't 'feel' very robust.
And the muuse wheel, although it feels nice, is alittle loud, but I am being picky here.
Overall:
Great mouse for the money. Works great, stores very easily in a laptop case, great battery life, etc. I love it and am very happy I purchased it.
Customer Review: An awesome little mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
The trackpad on my parents' laptop began to exhibit sensitivity issues, so they picked up one of these little mice. I've had battery-life issues with other wireless mice, and I didn't think that a mouse so small would be comfortable enough for extended use.
Thankfully, Microsoft addressed my concerns. First, the wireless receiver snaps neatly into the base of the mouse when not in use, shutting off the sensor (and making for a neat portable package). Not quite a proper on/off switch, but an ingenious idea nevertheless. My full-size IntelliMouse Optical is still a better fit, but given the size, I can't complain. It felt fine in my medium-sized hand. I suppose it would be a little awkward if you have larger hands, but not totally unusable. And of course you get all the benefits of optical technology. The sensor is a little off-center, but this doesn't seem to affect accuracy at all.
Anyway, I picked one up for myself. If you're a laptop user in need of a pointing device less awkward or problematic than the built-in track pad or "eraser head" pointer, you should too.
Customer Review: I spend HOURS a day using this useful and trusty mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This little Microsoft mouse rocks. The far-and-away cool feature is that the small USB connector piece stores very easily in the base of the mouse. I travel a lot, so it's great to pick up the mouse, unclip the USB connector, plug it into my laptop and be ready to rock.
It's not to big for constant travel but it's not too small that it is hard to use and you might as well use the crappy touch pad on your computer.
If you need a travel companion BUY THIS MOUSE NOW! and don't spend another valuable minute searching around trying to figure out which mouse to buy.
As a side-note, I outlasted my first version of this mouse. I got it several years ago and it was designed ever-so-slightly differently. It traveled hundreds of thousands of miles with me and I must have dropped it 20 times. It kept on working until the end, when I finally retired it so I could get a new one that wasn't as beat-up from it's time on the road with me. As a matter-of-fact, I hope I don't also look so beat-up from so much travel, but I guess I still keep working too......
Customer Review: Hampster Works Out of Box!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this wireless hampster for 2 weeks straight after getting a new notebook here on Amazon. I think they should start calling wireless mouses "hampsters" since hampsters don't have long tails (cords). Plus I like hampsters, they're so cudly and cute. Anyhow, this works just as advertised. Just plug and play. I take this to work with me daily and it's nice to use the mouse, ahem hamster without wires. The range is about 10 feet which is better than the MS Wireless hampster for my desktop that uses 2 batteries. I like the turn off feature to save batteries when the USB is plugged into the bottom of the device plus it keeps the parts from getting lost. Did I mention I also do a lot of Photoshop work on my notebook? Don't worry about precision because this thing is very accurate and I sell the photos I retouch. So far I've been using it 3 weeks straight as my main pointer (don't use touchpads much) and the battery is going strong. Even the die hard Microsoft haters or those that are against cheap foreign labor (made in China) will be converted by this product.
