4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for travelers, ok for the rest of the time, August 13, 2005
I use this mouse full time and at first it was a pain but now I have gotten used to it and for the most part like it. Its real advantage comes when I have to travel. I do not like the touch pad on my computer and refuse to use it. This mouse takes up such a small amount of space that makes it worth packing.

My laptop case has a place for a cell phone and that is usually where I put this. It keeps it safe and I always know where to look for it.

My only trouble with this is that the retractable cord sometimes gets all snagged up. It usually only takes a minute or two to fix but it can be frustrating. The retractable cord feature is nice if you have limited space and don't want the cord to get tangled with everyhting.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice, very tiny mouse, needs some getting used to, May 24, 2006
By Dr. Monkey (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews
I have owned this mouse for about 18 months now, and it worked well for that period. Only recently, it started to fail--occasionally it loses power due to a loose connection. I thought at first that 18 months was very short, but having read reviews of other laptop mice, I see similar lifespans. I did use this mouse everyday for the past 18 months--pulling it out and closing it more than once a day in that time--and traveled around the country with it, so that is a lot of wear.

The tiny size takes some getting used to at first. You will probably stop noticing it after a few hours.

I never experienced a problem with cord tangles. The 'jumping around the screen' that others reported does happen when it's on the wrong surface (like a magazine say), but I have never had a problem with it when I used it on a standard mouse pad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice mouse, if you're a traveller., May 27, 2004
I bought this mouse in Canada, right before I flew out of the country. My laptop's touchoad and it's buttons are a little off the mark, and I wanted to be able to use my laptop in the plane back to The Netherlands.

At first glance, the mouse is ideal; It's optical, boosts a scrollwheel, and has a retractable cable. Also, it's extremely small, which makes it very easy to store in one's laptop carrying case.

However, the small size is also the mouse's disadvantage. I took the mouse to work today, and by now my hand is starting to hurt. I'm afraid that if I'd use this one day-in, day-out, I'll soon be left with RSI.

To sum things up: If you have a need for a non-cordless (i.e. in planes), small USB mouse that you will not use for very long periods of time, this is your mouse. For daily use though, I'd recommend getting a bigger version.
