I got a HP laptop and since I need a wireless mouse, I decide to get this one. I wasn't expecting much from this mouse. However, after using it for 3 weeks, I find this mouse to be very convenient to use.
The mouse got a very responsive laser sensor and work on most of the surface. I use it on Glass table, wooden table, and on the couch. It doesn't not work too well on couch but I have no problem using it on other surface.
The mouse has a few dotted bit on the scroll wheel and it helps a lot in scrolling. It gives me control of my scrolling speed and it is very useful when I am reading an e-document.
I got a 13inch notebook without a CD-rom, so I was worried that I might not be able to properly install the mouse driver. But it work as soon as I plug in its USB radio receiver. Now I am using it without touching its driver and I don't have any problem with it.
Manual said two extra buttons on the mouse can be configure to launch programs if the driver is installed. But without the driver, the buttons can be used to go back and forth in webpage.

Now for the downside
I am 5'7" small Asian man,And I got a small hand. I need to take off some chain links in a watch every time I buy a new watch. So I am sure you can guess how small my hand are. Having said that, this mouse is very small in my hand. I am glad that I bought this for surfing internet with my laptop on the road and not playing games at home.
But its price beat all in my option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not perfect..., May 29, 2010

I've been using this for several months now.
The big selling point for me was the tiny USB receiver. I leave it plugged in to my netbook continuously. Another thing that's important is long battery life. I have yet to replace the battery and I leave it on 24/7.
What I don't like is the placement of the left side button. It sits to far forward and I have to reposition my thumb to press it.
The middle scroll wheel is noisy and not very smooth.
Also, the HP mouse software offers few features or customization.
I actually uninstalled the HP software and downloaded a free utility called X-Mouse. That alone made a huge improvement. The X-Mouse utility offers much more than HP's utility does and it's lite on resources.
Overall I like this mouse better than the Logitech's that I've used.
The HP laser mouse is a good value for around twenty bucks.

This product is awesome!!! The pointer moves very fast. The tiny USB receiver is great. I don't even notice it plugged in the laptop. You also have settings in the software which you can program different things. (Like how fast you want the scroll wheel to move) I recommend this product 100% so far.
