4.0 out of 5 stars Small with great trackability, September 15, 2009

This review is from: Kensington SlimBlade Notebook Wireless Mouse with Nano Receiver (K72334US) (Personal Computers)

I've been using a few logitech wireless mice and this is my first non-logictech. I'm mostly satisfied.

PROS:

1) slim and fits nicely into a laptop bag.

2) takes AAA batteries, not AA. Many new small mice now take AA, which make them so heavy.

3) lasts 3+ months using rechargable batteries, also has low battery indicator

4) tracks all surfurce well, even shinny surface and uneven surface. My logitech mice don't do well at all on such surface and I have to use mouse pad for them. I don't like using mouse pads. This Kensington can go everywhere without a mouse pad. This item makes it 4 star instead of 3.

CONS:

1) the buttons and roller are a little bit harder than logitech. I slightly prefer the logitech's touch.

2) the ergonomic issue people are complaining is 70% true. If you are used to a fat mouse, this one will feel strange. However, if you like to lay your hand flat, it'll be comfortable enough. I like using it on my bed or sofa curshion and just relax my hand on it. The relatively hard buttons make it harder to press with your hand laying flat, but it's still not too bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Mouse. Only One Problem, September 17, 2009

I bought this mouse from Kensington because I had been using an earlier model mouse of theirs which had a couple of cons but otherwise worked beautifully. If fact I used it for probably 4 years before finally upgrading to this one. I upgraded because this mouse was too was heavy, using two AA batteries and two, because the long USB cable and large receiver(which was about half the size of the mouse). The size of the nano receiver and how light this mouse is are two of the things I love the most.

PROS:

1. Unlike other reviewers I actually like the form factor. It took a little getting used to but I found that it forced me to actually relax my hand rather than requiring more of a grip with other mice(larger form factor also = more weight). I often work long hours and don't find it to be a problem. With other heavier mice my hand and wrist would eventually become fatigued.

2. No mouse pad required. I just slide it across a smooth IKEA desk which actually requires less overall effort on my part because I am not fighting working against the friction of a mouse pad. It even works on the arm of a leather chair I like to park myself in in my living room.

CONS:

1. The mouse died after about 6 months(similar to another reviewer). I am prone to drop things(this mouse being one of them several times) so I am not sure how much I contributed to its' demise. I like this mouse enough that I am going to give it one more shot and buy a new one. I have been holding off for the last couple of months but have been missing it so much I don't want to wait any longer. I will update this review if the new one dies which would definitely be a big disappointment. Otherwise my take on it is that every manufacturer puts out some lemons. Think laptops and Windows ME or Vista.

Unlike other reviewers I don't find tracking to be a problem. One reviewer noted that the tracking was too fast. That is why there are preferences for a mouse where you can adjust the tracking to a speed that works for you.

I absolutely love this mouse. Can't get my hands off of it.

Its very small and goes perfectly with my slim laptop.

Even though it is very small, it does not hurt the hard or wrist after awhile like other mice. because it is very flat and almost level with the surface.
