It's precise!

OK, I've read the other reviews, it's cool that IOGear cares enough to get on here and reply to comments. BUT, there is a problem with charging these units. The cord that comes with it is a joke. It's obvious it doesn't work a high percentage of the...

DPI select, light weight, works pretty well on just a pillow, the couch, my pants leg, etc.....did I mention it's precise

Cheap feel, but I am used to "Weight means Quality".... but does it ; Charging this thing is more than challenging ; The laser is quirky on any shiny surface. But that's just the nature of it ; If it charged easily, it would be 5 stars

Works, not stellar though

I bought this specific one because it had the front/back browser buttons AND it was bluetooth (didn't want to use up my USB ports on my new laptop, and it had bluetooth, so I figured, why not go bluetooth) I've got a wireless Logitech on my other...

the Front and Back browser buttons are nice ; The scroll wheel is nice and functional

The thing is very tricky to connect with bluetooth with my laptop ; If it "goes to sleep" (I believe this occurs after 30 minutes) I have to turn it off then back on then reconnect it with my laptop's bluetooth. (my laptop is brand new and it's still...

Mac users please be advised

**I'm using it with the 2010 MacBook Pro, so you can see where my viewpoint is coming from** This is a notebook mouse, not a multifunction tool. I believe some reviewers have set too high of an expectation for this mouse. For it's function, it's more...

Works great - after you figure out Windows7!

Bought this mouse for my wife's new laptop. I was looking for a feature packed mouse that didn't break the bank. Minimum I was looking for was a laser mouse with tilt-scroll wheel. This one fit the bill with the bonus of having a built-in battery. ...

Garbage

Made in China junk. Impossible to open blister pack. The mouse felt good, tracked well, paired well....at first. The next day re-pairing, reinstalling. At first, it would wake up instantly. After a few tries it would lag. The dpi switch was...

Tilt Wheel Does Not Work

When I got this mouse, I was pleased with everything about it, until I tried scrolling horizontally. Most mice truly scroll horizontally from the tilt wheel. This one acts like the left and right arrow keys. When editing text, it will simply move the...

IOGEAR GME229B Tilt Wheel 2.4 GHz Wireless Laser 1600 dpi Mouse

Very easy to connect to bluetooth, and works without a hitch. Ergonomic design. Comes with a carrying pouch. Cheap

What a pain.

This mouse has some qualities. The tracking is very good, the sensitivity level adjustment is a nice touch and the ability to charge it through USB while using it is nice also. I like the carry back that comes with it and I also "initially" felt good...

Dont like the buttons

Got for Christmas and dont like the design. The forward-backward buttons do not stickout like my other mouse so I cant feel them with my thumb. I have to look at the mouse to use them. Also the battery charge does not last like I expected. It was easy...
