This review is from: Targus Ultra Mini Wireless Mouse for Mac (AMW03US) (Personal Computers)

I've used several mice with my laptops over the years. This one is by far the most compact of them all, but it's not unusable. You just have to spend a little time with it.

Functionally, it works great: wireless, optical, scroll wheel... There's also a physical on/off switch on the mouse, which I like better than a "sleep" mode, because I keep my mouse in a baggie along with a dozen other dongles, cables, PCM cards, and the like when I'm on the road. With an on/off switch there's no chance the mouse will be awakened to drain the batteries.

If you hate the concept of a skinny mouse, then this ain't for you, but I find it very usable and about as compact for travel as you're going to find. Compact, cheap, works well.

EDIT: I have no idea why they call it a mouse for "a Mac." I use it on my Dell laptop just fine. Maybe the white color?

This piece of crap lasted about two weeks. Then it shorted out and temporarily shut down the keyboard and usb connections. It took about an hour before the keyboard came back. New batteries did not help; the usb connector stopped working.

A compaint to Tagus brought no help. And by the way, they denied receiving my mail in rebate. So I sent copies. No word. Another rebate scam from an electronics company, joining San Disk and eMachines. I am thoroughly disgusted with ordering anything over the internet.

A bad product from a bad company.

This review is from: Targus Ultra Mini Wireless Mouse for Mac (AMW03US) (Personal Computers)

This mouse arrived completely dead. I've never had to return anything through Amazon, but did not look forward to the process. However, to my surprise the online for took less than 5 minutes and they had shipped the replacement before I had mailed the dud. Service couldn't be better in my opinion. The mouse itself, other than it initially being a dud, is acceptable. The only complaint I have with it is that the radio frequency range is very short (on the order of inches). The range is so short that I have to use an extension chord to reach around my laptop, so that the little transmitter will be close enough to the mouse. Otherwise, it is a nice little portable mouse.
