Customer Reviews:

Not So Good [Posted on 2008-07-17]
I have owned two of these mice now and I've had to replace them both. On the latest one, the left click button is no longer working. Which is very frustrating! It works a little if I press it really hard, but a double-click will not work.

I am disappointed that I've had two of these and they have both lasted less than six months. I'm looking for a new brand!

Poor performance right out of the package [Posted on 2008-07-30]
The main problem is the scroll wheel. Its operation is very 'iffy'. It will scroll sometimes, for a bit, then stop and sometimes even bounce the page (i.e. when scrolling down it will suddenly reverse direction for a second like a ball hitting the floor). Most frustrating, trying to get it to scroll for me. Other times it will not scroll at all, or stop scrolling for no apparent reason. It is driving me crazy! Also, the mouse click button is not smooth at all. Not natural feeling. Difficult. I bought this to replace a previous Targus, which worked fine. But this one really blows Worse mouse I've ever used.

Perfect for Laptops [Posted on 2008-09-06]
I have several of these one for each of my laptops. The size is perfect for carrying around. I never got used to using the touchpad. This item is so small I can use the wristrest on most laptops. Like most lasers it doesn't need a mousepad. I find it also works well just by using a section of the sofa while sitting on it.

Pro: very small, comes with drawstring storage bag, retractable cord
Con: small size may take getting used to for some

Don't buy this mouse! [Posted on 2008-09-20]
I bought this mouse because i wanted something small to use with my laptop. I have to admit the size is great its about 3 inches long, good for me, might be bad for someone with big hands. It comes with a little case. The mouse worked great for about 2 days and then just stopped working! I dont know what happened, it just never worked again! I ended up just goign to Walmart and buying one from microsoft for $15. Ive had it now for a few months and its doing great. DONT BUY THIS MOUSE UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PAPERWEIGHT!!!!

doesn't work very well [Posted on 2008-10-06]
I wanted to like this mouse, and have used a similar one from Kensington with great success for years, but for some reason it just doesn't work very well and is a great disappointment. Now I have to go out and buy another brand of the same thing just to get work done! It's way way too jumpy, on any number of surfaces I tried. It keeps releasing the item I've selected too soon so the amount of clicking and dragging I have to do just to get one thing done has been increased tenfold. It jumps the cursor all over the screen when my hand is just sitting still not moving. Very frustrating to use. Can't wait to get rid of it.
