Product Description

IOGEAR's USB Optical Mini Mouse 800 (the vanguard product in the company's new MiniMouse 800 Series) is an excellent tool for mobile professionals. The 800 dpi resolution offers twice the accuracy of standard mice, and is ideal for graphics and web designers who demand pinpoint accuracy. It is small, lightweight, consumes virtually no room in laptop carry-bags, works on most surfaces and needs just inches for accurate movement. The ergonomic contour design offers comfortable use for hours; moreover, its greater speed reduces excessive and potentially harmful arm movement. This Mini Mouse also features a retractable cable that is quick and easy to manage, without the tangles and mess of standard cables. This unit is USB ready, Plug-n-Play, and Hot Pluggable. It is also backed by IOGEAR's 3 Year Limited Warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars bright and functional for a while, November 6, 2009

The mouse worked instantly on my Macintosh as soon as I plugged it in. It is small (about 3"), glides easily and is quick. It requires slight effort to push the scroll wheel which I see as an advantage because that prevents accidental scrolling. The mouse glows red which prevents it getting lost, has a thin 2' cord, and works well on a mouse pad, cloth or hard surface.

EDIT: the mouse stopped working after a few months so I changed the rating to two stars.

I have had other devices with this retraction feature, and I know how frail it can be. One of our help desk guys wandered over to my desk at work, picked up my mini mouse and started playing with it - extend, retract, extend, retract - it's not a YO-YO, dude!

Sure enough, it no longer works. I'm buying another one but not leaving it out on my desk this time (I use the retractable only when I take the laptop elsewhere; I have an IOGEAR mini that does NOT retract on my desktop setup.)

So just be careful with the retract-extend sequence and you should be OK. I'm happy enough that I'm buying another one, but I don't expect a lifetime warranty.
