Targus Notebook Optical Wireless Mouse USB -NEW OEM - AMW20USX - Limited Stock!

Initial setup is great and easy, but response is poor. Most of time first click is not recorded , you have to click several times.

PRO: Great performance, Great price. CON: Goes through batteries VERY quickly. Tricky to set up but once it is going it is fine. I am going to try the rechargeable version.

This is one of the worst purchases i have made on buy.com. I would sincerely suggest buy.com to remove such products from their shopping list. Within one month, the mouse was bought, it stopped working and i called the customer support for Targus and they said they are going to replace it as the model : AMW20USX is now replaced as it had some problems. I had got to send it all the way to california and they sent the same model back to me and it has stopped working again. Not decided on whether i should again speak to them , shell out extra money for shipping to get one more defective model. Please hold back from buying this product.

This little notebook mouse does an adequate job for which it was designed. It is easy to set up and use. There are no customizing features. Before I ordered mine I read some of the reviews which were mixed to say the least. Now I know why. The mouse was sluggish in performance for the first few days that I used it...then it died altogether. New fresh batteries...all better now and the performance zips right along. I really hate to beat up on an otherwise good deal but maybe the Targus folks should consider a better battery supplier and save a little "face".

Died in a day. Maybe it was a defective one. You have to carry the mouse and USB seperately which also seems like a trouble. Would not buy it again.

It shuts off all the time, i have to move the mouse constantly otherwise it will go to "sleep". Have to change batteries often. NOT A GOOD PRODUCT overall :(

This is definitely a good mouse for its price. it performs good with no issues. Pros 1. Ease of installation. Just plug the adapter and then click on the button below the mouse, it'll start working 2. It'll go in power saving mode if the mouse is idle for couple of minutes. It'll wakepup with a click. 3. It operates comfortably in 3 meters distance.(but it consumes battery) Cons: 1. May need to replace batteries every 20 days to 1 month 2. It wont give full functionality as normal USB mouse. Particularly you feel bit inconvience while drag and drop functions finally.... You are not doing any mistake by buying this mouse. This is good mouse for its price.

Just a few days after starting to use it it just went dead one day-tried reseating the AAA batteries but it would not come to life. If those batteries are drained in 8 days its no good. Also hangs after 5-7 minutes of non-use and have to press the setup key and the USB receiver button many times to get it to work. Next time will be more sensible and not buy a cheap mouse like this one.

I bought the mouse in late May.I tried to remove the USB from the laptop and it seperated into 2 pieces. I am returning it next time I will spend a little bit more and get something better.

I bought this mouse 10 days back. My first problem comes when I searched for online help for this product. To find out the driver for my Vista laptop, I searched the Targus website. I cannot even see this product listed in their site. Then I realized that there is a driver already installed in my laptop for a different Targus mouse which caused the problem. I uninstalled the old SW and then when I plugged in the new one, the driver installed correctly. Now the mouse works but partially. I cannot click and hold the mouse buttons. Yes we can do but it will not respond for your hold. Clicking and holding is equalent to a single click :( When you try to scroll a page using scroll bar, this feature is a must. The battery consumption is also more. A new pair of Duracell betteries doesn't even last for a week.

There are a few shortcomings: - the range is quite poor. Can't go farther than 3 feet. - it takes some practices to get used to double clicking with this mouse, because (1) difficult to keep the cursor steady after the first click, (2) difficult to double-click the button itself.

PROS: It's compact. It works. It was cheap. Shipping was free. CONS: The two buttons needed to sync it are a pain. My kid's Logitech never needs to do this. And every time my laptop goes into standby/power saver, or the mouse shuts itself off, I need to resync it before I can use it again (twice, actually). The little LED on the part that plugs into the USB port is positively blinding, and a big distraction while I work. Overall, it is OK for the price. Just remember you get what you pay for.

I am thoroughly satisfied with the Targus wireless mice that I purchased at a very affordable price.
 
Was this review helpful?    

The price is right but perfomance is lacking. The mouse is physically small and feels so when using it. Fine control of the cursor is lacking and this is frustrating. It takes much more effort to use this mouse than others, including wireless ones. The small size is a bonus for use with portable laptops.

I had no idea that this wireless mouse would turn out to be such a good item and at a very minimal price. I am extremely happy with the purchase.

After using this mouse for several days I have found that it is slow at responing. Set up using XP was very easy, but it is frustrating to use because of the slow reaction time.

The Targus Notebook Optical Mouse worked fine for about a week then stopped working. Apparently the batteries had died. Once they were replaced with rechargeable everything was working fine again. The mouse is really small and that might take some use getting to. The sensitivity and movement are really great -- quick and responsive. That too might take some use getting to. Good value for the buck.

The price was right as is the compact size. However the mouse shuts off intermittently. Need to re-activate both the mouse and the USB stick every so often. Spend a little more and get a mouse that stays on.

The mouse works very well while connected. The only problem is that it loses connection of the wireless often enough that it becomes frustrating to use.

The review did not specialize that this mouse could only work for Windows. I have a Mac so the product I bought was completely useless to me.

The manual is good, without it I cannot start the mouse. I loved it. The only thing I complained is the usb does not build in with the mouse like the one I own make by create which build the usb connector under the mouse. I only take it apart when I need it. Therefor I never loss each other. But for the price so cheat, I cannot expected it perfect.

Mouse works well for the price. It's not a laser mouse so won't be smooth on all surface. But works well as any optical mouse. Connects to the receiver quickly- no drivers needed to installed. Never had to even push the button on the receiver to connect.

I don't think you can go wrong with Targus. I keep this little mouse for use when I travel. My only concern is that I wish it had an on/off button.

This little mouse is like the baby bear's porridge, just right. I have an Acer notebook which has a touch pad. With USB ports on the right side it is good for right handed people, and the unit is plug and play. If your USB ports are not near your hand it would be awkward. With the scroller it is a great improvement over the touchpad, or my wired 2 button USB mouse. I may cover part of the blue light in the adapter, it is too bright.

This was exactly what was advertised and at a great price.

After a bit of an unexplained problem with "plugging it in, pushing setup, and it works", it has been performing just fine. I think the problem may have been a conflict with my old USB mouse that I didn't delete before installing this new wireless mouse. Like most WINDOWS related anomolies, a REBOOT fixed whatever was wrong.

Compact mouse for notebook computer does what it should, and for $10 it is a great value. No complaints -- well, one minor issue: the "click" on the mouse is very loud compared to a standard desktop mouse.

Windows error message: " USB device not recognized...Try reconnecting the device. If Windows does not recognize it, replace the device." I have tried to get this mouse to work on 3 different laptops.

Light on receiver so bright you must cover it to be able to work if USB port is on side of laptop. Left button sticks unless you use it without the cover in place, Extra step when you install to train it which has to be done everytime you change batteries. Make sure follow directions on inserting batteries. One of them goes positive to the spring. HOWEVER, it does work. I think the Logitech wireless is a better deal.

This is a great mouse for a great price. It was very easy to connect...simply hit two buttons. No sporadic movements like alot of Wireless Mice tend to have. You can't beat the price for such a good quality wireless device.

Mouse was sensitive, had a good feel and my laptop found the unit immediately. There was a slight lag from my had to the mouse movement. Seemed to happen when the mouse sat for a while then was used. Overall, good wireless unit for the price.

This worked ok for about 1week. Now the mouse just freezes up at least once a day. When it works, its range is too short. I finally just stopped using it.
