big tracking delay [Posted on 2005-02-19] I was warned by someone that a friend had bought one of these and returned it because of the delay. I went ahead and bought it thinking I could adjust the tracking speed to something I liked...it didn't work. The pointer is behind all movements, and at the fastest settings, once it does get moving, it jumps and hops. I'm taking it back. Don't waste your time.
All the lights were on, but... [Posted on 2005-02-22] I have the wired version of this mouse, and I am a fan of Kensington's mice--heck, besides Apple's, I have never used another brand. But I digress...
I was disappointed by this mouse for a couple of reasons:
1. Instead of charging via USB--which could be done--the dock for the mouse has an AC adaptor which plugs into the USB plug. It just looks awkward.
2. The mouse is not very responsive. Often, I would have to click twice for a menu or dock item to be selected. Scrolling long menus was a joke since the mouse would disengage before scrolling the entire menu.
I was disappointed, and I returned it immediately. I love the design of the Studio Mouse, so I am using the wired version again.
Different, but so what [Posted on 2005-02-26] Liked the design and uniqueness of this mouse when I saw it online.
Once I got it, it wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped and not very good tracking features. It eventually died after about 6 months.
I generally like Kensington products, but I'd say is okay if you want something new and different, but for the price it isn't worth it.
It would get no stars if I had that option [Posted on 2005-10-17] I bought this Mouse so that I'd have the two button and scroll wheel functionality that my Apple Studio Pro mouse didn't have. It was an extreme disappointment when I spent $50 on this thing and then found out that I had wasted every cent of that money.
First off, I do have to say that the buttons and scroll pad work flawlessly, but all of my problems otherwise outweigh that.
The first few days that I had this mouse, it worked great, no complaints. The first problem I started having was when my cursor would randomly jump across the screen, this was a real annoyance when I was going to click on something and ended up clicking on something that screwed everything up in whatever I was doing. The problems don't end there though! After that started happening, I noticed that every day, after I had used this thing for maybe six hours straight (that happens alot at college) the mouse would just die and I'd have to go back to using either my Apple mouse or my trackpad, both of which only had one button and were just really annoying to use after having a wealth of three buttons and a scroll pad. Another thing I noticed about the power on this thing was how it didn't have a power on/off switch, so I couldn't just turn it off when I went to class, nor did the thing like being on its charger, because the more it was on there, the shorter the battery lasted (I suppose it's from the constant recharging, like a cell phone) but if I left it off the charger, I'd have no power when I got back from class. See my problem?
Oh, and I'm sure other people have pointed out its charger, it's unweildy, try traveling between home and school with this thing and you'll wonder why you ever bought it in the first place (even if it's working perfectly otherwise)
I give it one Star, simply because Amazon gives me no options lower than that.
Worst mouse I've ever bought [Posted on 2008-05-09] Do not buy this mouse! I have not found a PC that it works with yet. The response speed from button clicks is so sluggish, I can not use it. No amount of tweaking the control panel settings will enable this mouse to be useful.
