This mouse looks adorable; it's optical, light and good for on the go notebook computer owners. But this mouse causes much discomfort and slight pain to the rist; it is enormously uncomfortable if working with it for hours.

I love this mouse. The small size makes it very easy to pack into a bag for travel, and also makes it easier for me to control. I've gone through many mice, and this one is my favorite so far. The cord is short, which is good for laptops, but would make it difficult to use for desktops.

I used this mouse on my laptop, and it ran very well, no major complaints. I'm a designer, and work closely and very intense in photohop, dreaweaver and other goodies. HOWEVER, it just died. RIP.... ; ( i'm little disappointed. I only had it for 6 months. I'm not sure what the life expectency of a optical mouse? I'm hoping I still have my papers and box. I will attempt to send for a warrenty refund. I probably wont buy another, due to the fact, i'm VERY impaitent, and I need a more reliable mouse.

This is a good mouse. I have it for over one year already, and it still works perfectly. I use it over different surfaces, like bed, sofa, wood floor, my desk, dinning table, etc, and it works fine and accurately.

A little complaint: I know it's a mouse for laptop, but I would be happier if the cord was a little bit longer. I normally plug this into the USB at the back of the laptop. With a short cord, the mouse can't really have some big movement.

IT'S THE BEST MOUSE I'VE EVER BOUGHT EASY TO HANDLE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR LAPTOPS. THE SERVICE WAS FAST AND I'M PLEASE WITH IT ALL. THANKS.

I have had this mouse for years now, and it has seen constant use. Let me just say that it works like a charm. It's cute, it lights up bright, and, well... it just works. The only problem I've had with mine is that now, after years of use with no problems, the scroller wheel is getting stuck sometimes. I think it may have something stuck in it, so I recommend not eating at your desk (something I have the bad habit of doing).

To address some of the issues people have with discomfort: this is a way of life with all small mice. It depends on how you hold it. If you like to use your mouse with your wrist resting on the back of the mouse itself, then this is not for you. If you use the mouse with just the tips of your fingers anyway, then this mouse will be fine. I usually have my hand kind of hanging down from the armrest of my chair, so whether the mouse is big or small makes no difference to me. If you want a mouse that's portable but larger, try Microsoft's rather ingenious Microsoft Arc Mouse (Black). I sound like I'm advertising for MS, don't I? Well, I'm not, honestly. ;-) I'm just telling you my experiences. Hope they help!

The thing that I like about this mouse is that the buttons are easy to click, very little pressure needed. The is really helping with the pain in my arm/wrist. It is likely that you will need a USB extension cable if using this on a docking station or desktop computer. It would be even better if they could toenail in a side button for browser back functionality.

i have had this mouse for several years and use it on my laptop; goes with me everywhere laptop goes. reliable, compact and it just feels good in your hand.

This mouse is way too small (and I have small hands, so I can imagine what a pain it is for someone with larger hands), so part of your hand is always kind of raised up, creating strain on the hand and up into the arm (when used for a longer period of time). I've been using it on a desk and I've needed to get a mouse pad for traction because the mouse cursor doesn't stay in one place, making the cursor move all over the page/screen. Better off getting another mouse.

I preferred the older version for:

1. better finger traction on the wheel

I find it harder to engage and increased pressure sometimes results
in a middle-click being recorded

2. better hand ergonomics

It just doesn't feel as comfortable (a larger bump towards the back
would provide better palm support)

3. matte surface more difficult to clean

Previous version had a shiny surface that was much easier to clean.
