Slow bloomer

ByPaul Stuarton March 9, 2006

Verified Purchase

Having had a 17" Powerbook for a couple years, I was keen to actually try out a bluetooth mouse. But like many other Mac users, that one button thing just wasn't gonna' fly with me. The problem was that most BT mice were too pricey just to experiment with. Then came the day that I had to buy a Windows laptop for my CAD software. This new laptop, a Sony VAIO, also came with built-in bluetooth so I thought it was now the perfect time for that mouse. After much research, I decided to make this mouse my first victim--errr candidate.

The IOGear Mini Mouse functioned perfectly right out of the package with my Powerbook. It had good scrolling and good tracking. It was very tiny for this 6' guy to hold but I soon became so used to it that my desktop's Logitechs felt awkward.

Now getting this thing to work on the Windows laptop was nowhere near as simple. Windows does not come with Bluetooth drivers and this mouse didn't come with them either. The drivers Sony pre-installed on the laptop could see the mouse and recognized that it was a mouse, but apparently the recognition was not mutual. After talking to Sony support a bit, I was thoroughly aware that this problem could only be solved by IOGear or Amazon Product Returns. I decided to give IOGear a shot. After an hour on the phone, I was escalated to third level support; yes, a software engineer in their development group. This guy had me try all kinds of things. About another hour later, he had explained enough about the nature of Bluetooth drivers (and Windoze drivers) that I was able to figure out a method of fooling Windows into thinking it had the correct driver already and really could understand the mouse. And that solved the problem and the mouse has been working beautifully ever since. I taught the IOGear how to use my workaround so they should be able to help anyone else who has the same problem. And eventually Mr. Software Engineer said he would write a KnowledgeBase article on it.

A note on battery life: the packaged batteries are wimpy in the extreme. They are probably rated at about 200mAH. Do your self a favour and go out and buy a good set of NiMH AAA batteries with a quick charger. I happened to have a Ray-o-vac set from Costco that had an 1800mAH life. These last about 4-5 days of heavy usage before needing a re-charge as compared with the 4-5 hours of the packaged batteries. Also, it is very important that you carry a spare set of batteries (preferrably alkaline for reasons of cost and shelf life) to tie you over in a pinch.

A note about construction: As I implied above, I am a mechanical product designer. For whatever that is worth, I am quite impressed by the design and quality of this mouse. It is quite durable and very robust. There is quite a bit of elegance in the design, too. The one tiny objection I have is the design of the power switch. Unfortunately, I haven't a better idea yet so I will give IOGear the benefit of the doubt.

In summary, I love this mouse.

OK, finally

ByChief Systems Engineer (Ret)on March 17, 2006

After going into my workshop for a pair of aviation shears, I finally got the package opened up. This is one of the hardest-to-open packages I've ever seen.

Then it turned out the mouse was defective--left button needed 15-20lb pressure to click. While filling out the online replacement/return form, I realized that I needed to be at home so I could print the return label, so I aborted before submitting the return. Or so I thought. Got home and found that I had an e-mail acknowledging my unsubmitted complaint and indicating that my replacement was being shipped.

After finding that there was no way to print a return shipping label without submitting another return, I called Amazon customer service. With only about a five minute wait, I was able to speak to a nice gentleman in another hemisphere, who confirmed there was no way for me to print the shipping label without submitting another return and triggering another return/refund. He promised to _mail_ me a return shipping label, which has not arrived almost a month later.

Today I got an e-mail from Amazon reminding me that I need to return the defective item and FINALLY TELLING ME WHERE TO SEND THE THING IN LIEU OF A SHIPPING LABEL. I'll be heading to the PO in the morning.

Oh, yeah, the mouse. Piece of cake on Windows 2K after downloading the Dell drivers for my BT card. Rather more complicated in Linux 2.6.15, but fairly straightforward except for getting it to wake back up after a suspend-to-ram. Fixed by downing the interface while going into suspend and upping it while waking up (in the sleep script).

Very nice mouse, much less troublesome than my Fellowes RF Mini. And so small it makes the Fellowes feel like a brick in my hand. Minor tip: the batteries last MUCH longer if you DON'T turn the mouse off when not using it. Go figure. I get less than two days if I switch off when putting the computer away, but close to two weeks if I just leave it on.

100 uses for a dead mouse

ByR. Cane Questionson August 8, 2006

Verified Purchase

When it works, this mouse is simply wonderful. Small, accurate, easy to recharge, easy to carry. Under those conditions, it's probably my favorite mouse. I've found that it's equally good for both Mac and Windows.

One complaint is that when it's tethered to the USB port for recharging, it works nominally, but becomes very slow and awkward. It's not at all the same behavior as seen when it's completely free to move.

My first incarnation of mouse lived a long life of about 10 months. My second incarnation of mouse, however, just died at the tender age of 4 months. I've attempted mouse-to-mouse resuscitation, but to no avail, having found that Iogear technical support exists by name only. I have sent multiple requests for help, and have received not a single answer. Both mice died identical deaths. Suddenly it stops being able to hold a charge, and freezes after about 5 minutes of use. Even when tethered to the USB port for a recharge it freezes.

I'm sad that a technologically good product should have such terrible quality assurance in its manufacture. And such terrible customer support in dealing with its lack of QA.

A traveler's friend

ByZ Zhangon September 20, 2005

The first thing I noticed about this mouse was the size. It is tiny, even smaller than most mini mouse. I have larger than average hands and the thing feels puny. However if you pay attention on how your holding the mouse, like I do, you shouldn't experience any cramping.

After using it for a few weeks I have no complaints about this mouse other than its size. Setup was easy, the tracking is pretty accurate (I find it more accurate than the full size microsoft bluetooth mouse), and there are so many convieniences. The battery lasts quite awhile due to the on/off switch and the plugged in mode works just as well as the wireless mode. The case is great for keeping everything nice and neat.

All in all if you're looking for a mouse to bring with you on your travels, I highly recommend this mouse.
