Anyone purchasing this product must be intending it for portable use. While the retractable cord seems attractive it worked as supposed for only two days. After that it started retracting itself while working with the device which was very anoying, so i ended up having to eliminate the retractable function to be able to use the mouse. Casing is made of really cheap plastic and after two weeks the little silver accent on top of it lost it's adhesive and fell into the mouse's body, leaving an ugly hole on top. If you are planning to use this to carry around with your notebook look at some other products, since the build quality of this one really prevents me from recommending it. While it worked, it worked fine but not for long.

What a shame! Here's a sophisticated little piece of technology that ultimately fails because some pinhead at GE decided to save a few cents by going to the gutter for the cable. I've had two. I thought the first one might have been a fluke but the second failed in the same spot within a few months....

This mouse is made of poor quality. The retractable mechanism stopped working after about one month. Then after the second month the mouse stopped working all together. I've had another retractable mouse branded by a computer manufacturer that was about the same price and had a very similar design. It lasted a bit longer, but untimately went through the excact same set of issues. Probably the same company tha has them just re-branded by multiple companies.

mouse died in less than 8 weeks, sellers only comment is that i should contact manufacturer as they are good at shipping replacements . mouse clearly infer
ior product and now i have to figure out how to contact GE ... don't waste your money or time

worked great for awhile then it started working intermittently, bought another one and it didn't work at all. I removed in retractable gadget because it was pointless and annoying so I couldn't return it.

I think the retractable feature is really unnecessary as it's not needed during normal use. The mouse however is quite good and fits in the hand well. I've tried several laptop mouses (Mice?) and they were too small or the buttons didn't work right. This mouse is good because you can right click or left click with ease and move the pointer around to where you want to go. I'm right handed so a left hander may have different issues. I've purchased several of these for all my computers and they all work great. For thirteen dollars this is a great buy! I had a mouse that was over $50 and it wasn't as good. This mouse is good quality for the money. If you need a mouse for your laptop this is the one to get. You won't regret it.

I've been looking for mice for long time, most adjustable mouse are too small,
This is the only one with stander mouse size with the adjustable cord,
I will get the 2nd one if I needs another one.

It takes a little getting used to but once you get used to moving your cursor accross the screen in a couple of inches you will wonder why you ever put up with a mouse that takes two ten inch swipes to move across the screen.

Six Sigma fails again!!

After just three months, the plastic cover over the mouse does not contact the mouse button, making it impossible to click! Tolerance, variation...garbage. GE's legendary 6 sigma quality doesn't apply to this mouse.

I tossed it against the desk to get my final joy out of it.

Also, if you try to remove the mouse cover to fix it you will never be able to place the cover back on. Their design for manufacturability must have traded repairibility for easy of manufacturibility. As I said, this is a peice of garbage.

Corrective Action please!

This is the second one of these that I've bought. I won't be buying a third. They both followed the same path...work great for 6 months, then they enter a sometimes work/sometimes don't period of about a week, then they die. I think GE has a new model that I'll be trying, but this one, never again.
