It's definitely a good little mouse to use when traveling. Had it about 4 - 5 mos. And haven't any any problems with it.

The size is great, but I discovered that the right button does not work. That really makes navigating frustrating. It would be a terrific little mouse if the button would work.

It's a very nice and portable mouse, when I bout this mouse, I did for two things,the brand (GE) and price. but after a couple of months always happen that windows show me a message "a USB device it doesn't work properly" and after that mesage the mouse was freeze". Now I Need to buy other one, but never a GE mouse.

The spring loaded retractor seems to randomly SNAP the mouse right out of your hand at the most inopportune moments....and then the whole thing just stops working after a few months - certainly less than a year.

Save your money.

I love having a mouse to use with my laptop away from home. If I use only the touchpad my elbow hurts a lot - so I use the mouse a lot. And I'm surprised at how little wire I unroll to use it. I don't like wireless mice because I tend to lose them. This is small and convenient. The only drawback is that occasionally I have a hard time getting the wire to automatically roll up.

I like this little mouse and I realize now all chords should be retractable - every single appliance in my life! It's so much cleaner and neater. I find my other peripherals with chords all scuffed and dirty and I always have to tahe time to wind 'em up without damaging them. One thing I can't figure out is what the heck the extra button on top of the mouse and back of the wheel is supposed to do... a co-worker pushed it hard thinking it was for rewinding the chord - NOT! I think she broke the thing and now she's offered to go to Big Lots and get me a new one - heck, they're 7.99 there NEW! GO GET ONE!

I purchased this item in August and have used it most every day for the last 6 months. No problems, except the cord is so thin that once or twice it squeezed into the crack between the base and button and I couldn't click: Easily resolved by not letting out so much cord. I've notice the trend toward wireless mice, but then I'd have TWO parts to carry (and possibly lose) There are smaller mice, but for me this is just about the right size. I actually find "regular" mice to seem too big now; it's what you get used to. I will probably buy a spare one in case this one ever fails. I'd dread paying the exhorbitant price for similar products I've seen in stores.
At times when I'm in a hurry I turn on the touch pad on my laptop, but soon I find myself getting irritated. Taking the two seconds to get this out and plug it in is an immediate cure!

The mouse is comfortable and smooth but after just two months, I press the mouse once and it doubles things up--moving a web page back twice or on a calculator, typing the number "1" twice. It also won't enable me to take copy and delete it properly. Very irritating and very useless now.

My fiance bought a GE Retractable Mini Optical Mouse similar to this one but I gotta say for it's small size it excels over the non-retractables. It's very small and portable. I can just pop it into my computer and use it on my laptop, work computer, etc. At first I thought it's small size is gonna put strain on your hands and be very uncomfortable but actually I like it. It's very smooth and accuracy is awesome. I recommend this mouse to anyone. I found mine for $12.99 and it's smoothness is incredible on any surface. Sorry Minnie but this mouse is the real Mini. LOL
