5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mouse, July 21, 2007

By	B. W. Ray (Glenville, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased one of these a few years ago, and loved the feel, the expanded DPI movement, and the accuracy. When I needed a new mouse for work, I bought and tried three mice before I decided to try this mouse which I had at home. It was just what I looking for, and I could only find more on Amazon. Since I will want to use this one for a long time to come, I bought two of them so I wouldn't run into this the next time I looked.

5.0 out of 5 stars PocketMouse LE exceeds expectations, January 3, 2007

By	pearson1662 "Rowdey" (Norman, OK) - See all my reviews

The Kensington 72218 PocketMouse Limited Edition (LE) USB Mouse (PC/Mac)is one of the few things that has exceeded the expectations I had when I bought it. I bought it to use it with a laptop and it works great! It exceeds my expectations in how well it works on just about any surface. For instance, I am particularly surprised at how accurately it works on soft surfaces like the bed spread and the couch cushions. The retractable cord is neat, functional and has been more durable than I expected considering all the abuse it gets from my family and me. We have been using it for about a year now and it works as well as new and the retractale cord is still retracting. I was initially concerned that I might not like the small size because I have larger than average hands but I actually like it just as well as a conventionally sized mouse.

If you don't need a cordless mouse, I heartily recommend the Kensington PocketMouse LE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best portable mouse, August 25, 2008

By	E. A. Jerome (NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is hands-down the best portable mouse I've ever tried. I bought it about three years ago and it still works perfectly and looks great. It is so small it easily slips into my laptop bag's outer sleeve and yet is large enough to grasp confidently.
If you haven't used the kind of cord roll-up device that this mouse uses (with a small reel in the middle of the cord), then you should be sure to pull both *ends* (i.e. the mouse and the USB plug) and not one end and the reel if you want to to close up properly.
