4.0 out of 5 stars Very convenient little mouse, December 26, 2005

This is a small mouse that fits easily in my laptop bag. I was initially afraid that it would be difficult to move around as i was used to larger traditional mice. However, once I (quickly) got used to it, I found that its even easier and more comfortable to use than large ergonomic mice -- the reason being that you can simply rest your wrist on the table and push this mouse around with your fingers. Your whole hand need not move! Very nice feel to it for me.

The only downside to the atek mouse that i bought was that after a year or so of use, its buttons became less responsive -- sometimes clicks just don't register. Could it be that this small mouse isn't as rugged as I had hoped? I haven't banged this mouse around and always keep it in its soft pouch in my bag, so I'm a little dissappointed that its causing problems now. I'm not sure if others who have been using this mouse for a long time have had this same problem. But despite that, I'd still quite likely that I'd buy this mouse again.

The only feature I miss (from larger mice), is a scrollwheel of some kind. If someone at Atek could stick an Apple Mighty-Mouse style micro-scroller on this mouse, I would marry them, *and* buy the mouse again for sure.

This is the lightest most appropriate USB mouse for a laptop. Therefore, when the first one developed a crack in the cable, I immediately replaced it with a new one. I have wound the part of the cable near the mouse with electrical tape in hopes that this will prevent the kind of breaking which my first one suffered.

Unfortunately, those selling this product have by now figured out that there is nothing else on the market which is just like this one. Therefore, the price has gone up from $11. to almost $30. I therefore recommend winding electrical tape around the first inch of the cable from the get-go so you won't have to buy this product twice.

I'm using the mouse right now. Susan is right about laptop touch-pads. I find them extremely annoying ... which is why I use an IBM ThinkPad. Along with my ThinkPad I use my ATEK mouse, sometimes on my right thigh while the laptop is on my left. Works fine ... with one exception: as Soumya pointed out, the responsiveness of the buttons has dropped off. That said, I'm ordering another one for my company issued laptop.
