    3 of 5 Not worth it Wednesday, February 25, 2009
    A Customer from atlanta, ga  

    After I purchased, found it cheaper at Walmart. The one I received looked like it had been refurbished. Came with no installation disk. Computer will not go into screensaver even if it sits for hours.

    2 of 5 ease of use is good but overall quality is too bad Tuesday, April 03, 2007
    A Customer from milpitas, ca  
    Its ease of use is high but the reliability is really a concern. It worked fine for the first 7 months but after that, it suddenly lost of signal. Another sample of bad quality product from microsoft. Go for other brands if you have option!

    5 of 5 Excellent mice Tuesday, September 05, 2006
    A Customer from Houston, TX  
    This is an excellent mouse. I have been using it for the past 6 months with no trouble at all. Easy on the hands especially if you've got big hands. Battery is excellent. Put in batteries when I bought this mouse and haven't changed it since. Have yet to see mouse become unresponsive due to weak batteries. All in all, an excellent purchase for the price!

    5 of 5 WOW!!!! Wednesday, July 26, 2006
    josephsherry from Jersey City, NJ  
    I bought this on a whim to use with my notebook. I was so shocked on how well it worked I bought another for my desktop. It works on a radio signal so I avoid line of sight problems that come with infrared receivers. I have also bought several extras for my employees and they were satisfied because of not needing to constantly laso the mouse wire out of the way. If you are looking for a mouse that is small but still large enough to be able to work with comfortably I can't suggest this enough.

    5 of 5 Its sweet! I love it. Tuesday, January 31, 2006
    Bryon from Cincinnati, OH  
    Its small for compact storage and easy to use. No drivers to install just plug in and go. Comes with a battery and shuts off when you pack it away. Perfect for me.

    5 of 5 Professional Use Friday, January 20, 2006
    A Customer from Crownsville, Md  
    I have used this mouse 10 hours a day for months without replacing the battery or without having any problems. It's great for small hands, comfortable and really reliable. I'm now buying a second one for my Apple at home.

    5 of 5 Perfect for laptops... Thursday, November 10, 2005
    A Customer from Freeport, IL  
    I purchased one for myself and ended up buying 9 more for the other laptop users in my office. We all love it. Perfect portability. I've had mine for about 4 months and still haven't changed the batteries.

    5 of 5 Neat, stylish little mouse Wednesday, June 01, 2005
    Neil H. from Middletown, CT  
    Works perfectly, small enough to fit easily into a pocket of my computer carrying case but still big enough to handle easily. Not having cable clutter is nice, also saves on space of course, and the winter blue color scheme goes well with my Toshiba notebook's blue case. I especially like the fact that when you snap the receiver into the bottom of the mouse to put it away, it turns off the mouse. My other wireless mouse is on all the time, on low power when it's not in use but still using up the battery to some extent. This little blue baby is a classy, well thought-out little mouse.

    5 of 5 Great product!!! Wednesday, June 01, 2005
    A Customer from Irving, TX  
    I just got this mouse a week ago and I love it. It's much easier to travel because of the size and with it being wireless. Also, battery life is pretty good. One of the best features is that the usb plug fits right into the bottom of the mouse so that you don't lose it or break it. Mouse also works just as good if not better than any other mouse that I've had. The size is small, but it's easy to get used to... also, that's what you want if you travel a lot.

    2 of 5 Don't buy this mouse Wednesday, May 25, 2005
    A Customer from Los Angeles  
    I had bought this item recently due to price drop but I am totally disappointted. It constantly losses connection and replacing batteries did not solve the problem. The snap in receiver is not very tiny as it is advertised. The speed is kind of slow also.

    5 of 5 Nice Mouse Monday, April 11, 2005
    Jim from Los Angeles, CA  
    Perfect little package. The small dongle was the most important factor. Just plug it in and it works.

    5 of 5 A handy, helpful little wireless mouse for your la Saturday, April 09, 2005
    RatMan from Charleston, SC  
    This is a small and very convenient wireless mouse that simply sends a signal to a small USB port receiver which snaps into the bottom of the mouse. Snapping the receiver in and out also turns the mouse on and off - therefore saving the battery for maximum use. Easy to setup - frankly, doesn't need any directions unless perhaps you put the AA battery in backwards. Just pop the top, insert the battery, plug the USB receiver into your laptop and off you go! A must have for those with "pencil erasor" or "touchpad" type built-in mousepads. Small enough to easily store in most cell-phone pockets of popular cases, and very quick. Optical sensor is very sensitive on almost any surface, but not so sensitive as to be annoying.
