I love this mouse for it slimness - slides right into my brief case for use when traveling. Works great, and so far, battery life seems great. I've had it for 4 months and the original AA batteries are still working strong. It also looks cool, and really fits that hand nicely with the comfortable side pads. I also like that the USB part that goes into the laptop is quite small and does not stick out very far - does not get in the way at all.

This mouse is slim and cool. The 360 scroll ball is a nice feature, although I wish the ball would click like scroll wheels on other mice. I tend to use the middle click often when surfing the web. But other than that minor problem, I am completely satisfied.

I purchased this product used from eBay in August of 09. It worked perfectly for about three weeks then the trackball stopped moving. I decided to keep it because I believed that sooner or later the ball may move. I was right after dropping it about five times the ball and the silver part that holds it popped out. There's a flashing light and three smaller balls that are responsible for moving the cursor once the main black ball is moved. I noticed that there was a large amount of lint and dust surrounding each ball. I picked the lint out with a safety pin and place the black ball followed by the silver holder. It scrolls again!!!!

I needed a wireless mouse to do the simple tasks of left-click, right-click and scroll. This one does all that with a good-looking design, comfort, good range and great battery life. I especially like the blackberry-ish scroll button. It fits my small hand but if you like a contoured design, this might not be for you. I got this for $20, couldn't be happier with the purchase.

I purchased this mouse and was very excited and happy at first. After one month of slight use, the pin of the battery cover broke broke. My friend worked for Kensington and told me that that was going to happen...however I never listen to my friend. Now,I ended up with a very stylish mouse that I can't use

Mouse functions and volume control worked plug-n-play for me, no drivers were needed, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. One minor Ubuntu or browser issue, when I'm watching Hulu fullscreen changing the volume forces it out of fullscreen.

I have had this mouse only a little while, and its a steal.

Pros: nice design, feel pretty solid except for the trackball which is ok (although the 360 scroll on the trackball is nice) Also the mouse is wireless, and cheap. And finally, the media controls! It is so cool to have the wireless media controls on the bottom of the mouse. They work great, except that sometimes the left click gets accidently clicked and can be annoying. but overall its a cool mouse! The software that comes with it is simple and doesnt take up much ram at all. The software works great.

Cons: missing the extra features some ppl prefer, (i dont really care) and the trackball sorta seems like it will stop working within a few months of wear (like some reviews said. Also the trackball clicking sounds didnt sync with my movements at first, but now they are in sync.

anyways, i have had it a week and love it! i got it for 20.77

I recommend it!

The first one I received only worked a couple of hours. It took a number of emails but they finally sent me a new one without having to return the old one and this one works great.

i have trieds dozen of mouses and this one is the best i've eve had. don't listen to the naysayers.

I like it but a bit too bulky for traveling light but I dont so works for me. Battery life is pretty good. Can also double as remote for itunes and DVD on Macbook Pro
