IOGEAR Optical Mini Mouse Great for Laptops

 

The IOGEAR Optical Mini Mouse is awesome. The speed is unbelievable and it is light, but very effective with a laptop. I like how the cord is long enough to extend, but does not get in the way when using the mouse. I highly recommend this product.

Great Product

 

I needed an upgrade that was more sensitive and sturdier. So far this mouse is ACES.

Good Quality Product

 

Good Quality Product

I got this mouse because of the price and also because I hate long chords and I was fed up of changing batteries on the wireless mice. The mouse is pretty small for large hands, but after a few times you can get use to the narrowness of it. I have had...

Destroying IOGEAR Brand

 

IOGEAR is desroying its brand with this one product. I had a lot of respect for the brand, and then I bought two of these mice. Both have the same problems of losing connection and it has nothing to do with the cable winding device. It is the cheap...

Rarely it actually functions as a mouse

Usually it does not work at all. Problems include, poor out of spec USB extension cable which comes packaged with device which leads to the device losing connection constantly. Cheap materials leading to a poor overall feel. won't even show up as a...

stopped working after 8 months

I was happy with the mouse until it stopped working yesterday (device no longer recognized). I suspect that one or some of the wires inside of the cable must've broken. This was an occasional use mouse and was never (in my estimation) abused so I'm...

Went bad after three months

 

Went bad after three months

In my opinion, a computer mouse is one of those things that should just work. It should work perfectly every time, all the time, and should last for at least a couple of years. I would much rather pay a few more dollars to get something I could...

Worst mouse ever!

 

Worst mouse ever!

The tall skinny feel is all wrong but that's opinion. The real trouble is the poorly designed buttons. The tactile "click" happens before the real mouse click is registered. It was frustrating to click and nothing happens on the computer. It would...

Product Specifications

IOGEAR's new USB Optical Mini Mouse 800 (the vanguard product in the company's new MiniMouse 800 Series) is an excellent tool for mobile professionals. This mouse allows users to select resolutions of 400, 600, and even 800 dpi. The 800 dpi resolution offers twice the accuracy of standard mice, and is ideal for graphics and web designers who demand pinpoint accuracy. It is small, lightweight, consumes virtually no room in laptop carry-bags, works on most surfaces, and needs just inches for accurate movement. The ergonomic contour design offers comfortable use for hours; moreover, its greater speed reduces excessive and potentially harmful arm movement. This unit is USB ready, Plug-n-Play, and Hot Pluggable.
