I like the design, but it's cheaply made. [Posted on 2007-07-25] I've bought two in a row already, so I do like the design and feel.
However, the first one fell to pieces after 9 months (the glue holding the rubber sides peeled off).
The scroll-wheel on the new one has begun to squeak (yes - it's a mouse - ha ha - not laughing).
The design is great - materials are less so.
tracking problems - mouse is hypersensitive [Posted on 2007-10-12] the mouse sits about an inch higher than the apple mouse that comes with the Mac desktop, but I can get used to that. I have not been able to get the mouse to track properly. It twitches and drifts around, making it very difficult to point at any remotely small button. I have blown the dust out of the sensor and re adjusted the mouse controls on the Mac to no avail. Often the mouse starts working properly on start up, then rapidly gets twitchy.
I havent found an online help solution yet. buyer beware.
Kensington Laser Mouse [Posted on 2008-01-07] The Old Mac mouse was killing my hand. This should be better.
It is very responsive and fast.
The clicking is easy, and the scrolling and buttons work perfectly.
It fits comfortably in my hand.
It could and should be heavier. (Maybe it just slips too good, doesn't seem lighter than my old mouse...?)
And it won't work off my keyboard USB so it displaces another device on the main USB ( Need another D-Link hub)
Beyond these two niggles it's a fine mouse. I ordered the wired on purpose because I cannot deal with even ONE more battery powered device that is basically on all the time.
Great quality mouse [Posted on 2008-01-21] This mouse is comfortable, despite what you might think of the side grooves. It is very light and the mousewheel functions are convenient. The only real downside is adjusting the DPI settings (my logitech G5 has on-mouse clickable settings to instable change DPI)
Good mouse, but it's still just a mouse. [Posted on 2008-09-06] Maybe I use the keyboard shortcuts too much, but this mouse was 'just a mouse' for me. The rubberized grips added no value to me. The size was much larger that I would have liked. It's performance is great. Good precision and tracking. The scroll wheel is very functional and the vertical vs horizontal scrolling ability is an excellent option. But at the end of the day, it's just a corded mouse and as such isn't anything special to me.
