Customer Review: best mouse I ever owned, period
Summary: 5 Stars

Originally purchased this mouse for laptop use, but it immediately became my favorite mouse ever -- even for desktop use. Now I have Stowaways for all computers used on a routine basis.

Don't let the small size fool you into thinking of the Stowaway as a poor portable substitute for a real mouse. The many positive synergies designed into this small, lightweight cordless optical mouse make it a joy for general use:

[] Optical sensor lets you mouse on any surface with a bit of texture -- e.g., your thigh, or a good friend's thigh.
[] Remote cordless operation makes many things possible -- e.g., control presentations out of your laptop from a podium 30 feet away.
[] Small size encourages mousing with only your fingertips (instead of your whole hand ± wrist, elbow or shoulder, as larger, heavier mice either invite or require). At that point, you're pointing only those muscles best suited to fine motor control and eye coordination.
[] Finer control allows shorter throws to cross the entire screen. Once you've bumped up your pointer speed and acceleration settings to take full advantage, you'll find yourself able to...
[] Mouse comfortably and accurately in =much= smaller areas -- e.g., on the handrest of a laptop keyboard deck, or even between those coalescing piles of junk on your desk. But even if you have all the room in the world...
[] Shorter mouse excursions are better because they're ergonomcially safer for your wrist and less fatiguing in general.

Among many other endearing qualities, the Stowaway also

[] Works with the standard Bluetooth HID drivers built into WinXP and Win2000 (sorry, don't know about Macs) and pairs readily any standard Bluetooth device offering standard HID services -- nothing proprietary involved.
[] Fits comfortably in a shirt or pant pocket.
[] Has a very pleasing matte texture and positive controls.
[] Runs on 2 AAAs: Rechargeable NiMH AAAs deliver plenty of range and days to weeks of runtime between charges. They're also lighter than alkalines and far more wallet- and environment-friendly. With a pair of even lighter disposable lithium AAAs along for reliable emergency backup (~15-year shelf life), you really have nothing to lose with rechargeables -- unless you happen to enjoy enriching battery companies. My 2 year-old manuals didn't list NiMH rechargeables as a power option, but don't let that stop you.
[] Provides an on-off switch, thank God: A Bluetooth mouse without an on-off switch can run through batteries of any type in under a day -- especially when its buttons can be activated inadvertently, or when its paired devices are off or out of range. (Learned that one the hard way.)
[] Provides a reconnect button: All paired Bluetooth devices lose track of one another now and then. (Alien interference, terrorist jamming, sun spots-- who knows?) Anyway, this button forces the mouse to send a reconnect signal when needed.

Enough. Try it -- you'll like it.
