I love it. The only cons are that it shuts off automatically, so you need to take a minute to reset it before you use it again and that it seems to use up the batteries quickly.

I love being wireless. It is just as comfortable using this mouse with my left hand as it is with my right. The mouse is very accurate. It is easy to use once you read the directions.

This mouse is great for traveling, and easy to store and use. The only downside to this product is that it becomes a little uncomfortable (due to it's size) with extended use - after about 2-3 hours. But, besides that, the price is right on and the integrated USB storage was one of the reasons I purchased two of them.

This is the most responsive and comfortable mouse I've used with my laptop. I can put it on any surface. No need for a mousepad. And putting the USB transmitter inside the mouse for storage is a stroke of genius...the epitome of convenience.

Mouse good value, but aggravating
By googmeister from Pittsburgh, PA on 10/24/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Fast, Powerful
Cons:
Directions need improvmnt, Hard To Setup
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

No mouse pad needed, and it works really well. A little cumbersome how you have to coordinate the usb connector with the mouse power switch to get it to work, but you get used to it. What's hard to get used to is how quickly it lapses into sleep mode, requiring you to initiate the start up sequence all over again. If there can be an adjustment made to the sleep mode timing, it would attract a larger audience, no doubt, because the world needs an easy to use, reasonably priced (like this one) wireless mouse.

This mouse is great. At first was hesitant because it seemed to cheap considering that retractable mice run about the same. Its a small mouse but it has a good weight to it. The tracking seems to be quick with out any adjustments to the windows options. No software to install, easy to use, one of the better mice i've used. Haven't used long enough to go through a set of batteries so i assume they last at least several months. I use for class, great to just throw in backpack and go. Only downside ive noticed is sometimes the receiver pops out in my bag. other then that great mouse. Friends have been very impressed as well.

The activity LED on the USB receiver shows all the chatter sent by the mouse, but it very often simply stays on solid, with the mouse unable to move the cursor. I can usually "fix" this by bringing the mouse to within a 1/4 inch of the receiver, but that doesn't always work, forcing me to repeat the pairing protocol frequently. The normal distance between the mouse and the receiver is a great big 2 inches, and there are fresh Coppertops (checked with a volt meter) in the mouse. So close, so frustrating!

Here's the Trick to Get it Working
By Geekgirl from NY on 7/29/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use
Cons:
Hard To Setup
Describe Yourself:
Value Oriented
Primary use:
Personal

Step #1: Install batteries.
Step #2: Plug USB transmitter into the USB port.
Computer should automatically recognize and install the mouse. Easy... but you're not done yet.

THIS is where MOST people get STUCK.
Step #3: There's a tiny button on the bottom of the mouse you need a pen-tip to push. There's also a tiny button on the top of the USB transmitter. My fingernail worked for that one. You need to press them both AT THE SAME TIME... then release AT THE SAME TIME.

Lights on both the USB and the Mouse will flash RAPIDLY once it's synchronized.

Took me awhile to figure it out, myself. Quite frustrating.

This mouse is not recognized on any USB port, hence it does not work. I went out and purchased new batteries thinking mine were not strong enough and still it does not work. All the lights come on on both the mouse and the transmitter, but nothing. It was a total waste of [$]
