The mouse itself is very small, (approx. 8.5 cm long x 5 cm wide x 3 cm high) too small for long term use but fine for short term.

Other than that it's a good product.

Spent a while looking for a new mouse after a disappointing trial of the Memorex optical wireless (rubbish). This is perfect for a laptop but possible a little fiddly for intensive gameplay..

Have you ever bought something, thought it was great and then regretted your purchase: Phil Collins album, Sinclair C5, Sony Betamax video, Wimbledon home-game season ticket etc?
This is NOT one of those items. It is, quite simply, the best mouse ever made.
It is incredibly light, it is incredibly smooth and accurate (why aren't all mice this precise?) and it is incredibly tactile.
It is small in the hand; suddenly all other mice feel WAY too big.
The cord is short but, but not too short.
I almost forgot to mention the way the red laser shines out of the translucent sides - gain the repect and admiration of the world's nerds just for that, alone!
Buy one. Everybody who has used mine has and I'm writing this review as I buy my second; for my partner, she insists on having one too!
If none of this convinces you, think of poor old Bill Gates. He needs the money.
A great product.


too small   February 10, 2003

I bought this mouse to carry around with my iBook. With the USB ports on the iBook being on the left and me being right handed, the cable (approx. 65 cm long) just about manages to stretch round the back of the machine to sit on the right with enough length in the cable to use it. If long cables annoy you then this setup will be ideal, but I find it uncomfortable not to have more length to play with.
The mouse itself is very small, (approx. 8.5 cm long x 5 cm wide x 3 cm high) too small in my opinion, straining my fingers after several hours of use. If you like to rest your palm on top of your mouse then forget it, as only child-sized hands could grip in this way.
If you want a mouse to replace your pad or pointer where portability is the key, then this mouse is small enough to slip into any case. But for extended use (2+ hours) I suggest you make more space in your pocket and go for a standard desktop optical mouse.


small and nearly perfectly formed   October 30, 2002

The first thing you notice about this mouse is how light and small it is and here lies its charm. As a result of this combination it is perfect for working on the move. The size of the mouse means it fits perfectly into anyone’s hand and for those of us that now can't live without a scroll wheel this feature is an added bonus. The major selling point for me though is that by being an optical mouse you no longer have the “joy” of cleaning your rollers every three months after the mouse has picked up all manner of dirt from your desk surface and suddenly begins to jump around the screen in that wonderfully erratic manner.
Also by being an optical mouse it performs on any surface though testing this by rolling the mouse across your forehead does mean you will draw some interesting looks while you are sitting in the airport lounge and this is not to be recommended.
On the downside I can find two faults with this mouse one is the length of the cable that while it may be suitable for mobile working, its still very short by anyone's standard, and secondly if like me you have only one USB port in your laptop it means you can't use your pen drive, digital camera or other USB Device at the same time without investing in a USB Hub( not overly expensive I know but it still is another piece of equipment to carry around).
But saying that if you are working on the move and can't stand using the touchpad or the “nipple” on your laptop (which can bring it’s own added feature of moving the cursor around a large document at the most inopportune times) this mouse offers a great solution and with it’s red and grey colour scheme looks better than the average mouse.
