4.0 out of 5 stars This is the OQO2 Bluetooth Mouse, compare prices before you buy / moves OQO cursor sloooowwwly., October 9, 2007

By	Anonymous "Anonymous" (United States) - See all my reviews

This is the OQO2 Bluetooth Mouse, compare prices before you buy / moves OQO cursor sloooowwwly.

Quick Summary:
++Pros++
+ Easy to pair with host devices
+ Has an On / OFF switch, not all bluetooth peripherals have this basic necessity
+ Includes pair of Duracell AAA batteries, start using immediately
+ No latency in movement and click inputs.

--Cons--
- First time battery insertion is awkward, make sure you really insert and clamp all the way in or power isn't delivered and the battery cover won't seal.
- Uncomfortably small , even small hands will find gripping in the palm hard to do.
- When using with an OQO2, it moves extremely slow, so you'll have to adjust the mouse speed to max speed, BUT WHEN YOU USE THE BUILT IN OQO MOUSE PEG THE CURSOR FLIES ACROSS THE SCREEN SINCE YOU JUST INCREASED THE SENSITIVITY.

The mouse moves smoothly enough over surfaces, but the small size is encumbering to grip, this could create pain in your hand with heavy use. The cursor placement is crisp without any latency. The transparent base is neat to look at the circuit board, but the laser flickers when rapidly while resting and seems like an epileptic seizure risk.

Pairing is easy and with the OQO2, quickly reacquires when turned off and back on.

We give it four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mousing on your PDA, May 30, 2006

By	Paul H. Vanderklay "paulvk" (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If your PDA is in its cradle or you're using it with a keyboard your stylus is a pain. This little mouse and driver gives you an arrow and you're clicking away. Makes an Axim x51v much more like a PC than without it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of production, August 22, 2009

By	Richard A. Simon "compufish" (South Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned one of these for several years and I love it. Problem is that Outside The Box no longer makes it and it has not been built for over 2 years now. Shoptronics is getting rid of the inventory that they still have. The one I purchased seemed to be repacked and did not work. Warranty claims with the manufacturer are not available so I returned it about 6 weeks ago and I am still waiting for my refund, which BTW was approved before I sent it back. Got a letter yesterday from Amazon saying that they would be crediting my card in the next few days. Will see. I do trust Amazon.
