4.0 out of 5 stars For your notebook, July 21, 2006

This is a nice wired notebook mouse. It's USB cable is a little on the short side, but I have a nice ammount of free play with the mouse cable. It is plugged into a rear USB port on my 15.4" Widescreen Toshiba A105. I wouldn't use this on my desktop PC, and find that the mouse is a bit on the small size (good for portability), but I wish it were a tad bit bigger. A friend that used my computer thought that it wasn't small enough. So that's a matter of prefrence.
Setpoint software was not included with the packaging, so I had to download the latest drivers and setpoint program. Microsoft standard drivers do not give you the "full functionability" of the mouse. No middle click to zoom and no tilt side scrolling.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cord 2 feet shorter than claimed by Logitech, March 8, 2007

I needed a mouse for my notebook, which I use as my standard PC at home. Because of the desk configuration, I needed the cord to be a length similar to a regular (non-notebook) mouse. I called Logitech prior to ordering this mouse and was assured it was over 4 feet in length. When I got it, found it to be barely over 2 feet. I can't use it. Amazon was great about letting me return the mouse. I think Logitech makes a good mouse, but they need to include cord length in their documentation and provide accurate info via their tech support line.

First of all I would like to say that the mouse worked the first time without a hitch. However, there are two problems with this mouse.

1) The USB cable on it is not long enough to plug into the left side of a laptop (a lot of laptops have USB ports on the left side-like my Compaq Presario). It cannot plug into the left side of the laptop and then extend around the laptop for use on the right side of the machine. For anyone who is right handed you have to put the cable directly underneath the laptop...and then there is barely enough room for the mouse to move around. So if your machine has a USB port on the left side of the machine, and you are right handed, forget this mouse. It's unbearably tight.

2) It is too small for an average hand. My hands are average size. Holding the mouse creates a side to side tension in my hand because I have to 'cuddle' the mouse to hang on to it. I'm sure that after several more days of use I would have a problem with my hand/muscles.

I recommend this mouse only for children or people with very small hands and who have a USB port on the front or right side of their laptop. Otherwise, forget it.

I further cannot understand why Logitech would fail to mention these unusual features on the product packaging.

Shame on them for misleading the buyers.
