Kensington Ci60 Optical Wireless Mouse

 

The Kensington Ci60's software is top-notch, and it has lots of programmable buttons that power users will like, but the subpar tracking and poor power features are probably deal-killers for anyone who demands precision.

Wireless; USB extension cable included; good software; inexpensive

Subpar tracking; clumsy scroll wheel; poor power and battery features

The included USB cable for the wireless receiver is a nice touch. If the back of your machine is nearly flush with the wall, the cable will still fit and allow you to plug in the receiver

Two More Kensington Rodents : Kensington Ci60 Optical Wireless Mouse and Ci25m Notebook Optical Mouse

 

Having recently looked at two offering from Kensington here are the latest two Diamond Eye offerings to land on my desk, just like the last pair one needs the industrial scissors.

Kensington Ci60 Optical Wireless Mouse Nothing more difficult than a stubborn piece of sellotape stopped me from finding the contents of the box, the mouse proudly protruding through the plastic window on the face. Should you ever need to replace the...

An Optical Wireless Mouse : Kensington Ci60 optical wireless mouse

 

Kensington continues to add to its portfolio of mouse products with an optical wireless model.

Checking through my records of articles published on Gadgetspeak.com over the last couple of years, I was surprised to discover that there were twelve reviews of standalone mice from various manufacturers. This number did not include any mice that...

Kensington Ci60

 

The Kensington Ci60 is the cheapest mouse here, but it has a good degree of functionality.

USB extension cable included, good software, inexpensive

Subpar tracking, clumsy scroll wheel, poor power and battery features

Unfortunately, it performs tracking tasks poorly, with a tendency to be slightly jerky and jump from point to point on the screen. Whether this is a problem with the radio frequency or because it uses optical tracking (all the other mice here use the...

Brick

 

Seemed like a good deal at the time; however, I have regretted it from the moment I bought it. I am used to having the button closest to the back of the mouse being the "back" button for my browser. Uncomfortable to use, not very ergonomic. Might be...

Big. Looks nice. Quality feel. Tracks well

Too heavy. Not comfortable to hold. Back button is not logically placed. Sleeps too often. Hard to wake up

Sending this one back

 

The packaging says this mouse is designed for OS X and WinXP; that's how long this mouse has been around. I'm sending this back. I don't know which I dislike the most--the weight or the lack of side buttons. For the price, I expect plug-and-play...

Mouse, while large, feels nice in hand ; Grips on side ; True right-handed design

No standard Win7 drivers, which means the forward/back buttons are non-functional ; Very heavy ; Tracking seems so-so

Awsome mouse!

 

Great mouse for the price guys I say go for it, after two years my right click button dosen't want to really work half the time but that is due to so much wear and tear so i'm buying another one of these same exact one :) hunted for a new mouse for two...

This mouse is nice and large, awsome for people with large hands. Fits the whole palm of the hand to make good for hours on the computer and the grips after two years of use have yet to budge which is great because I had that issue in the past with...

Only con is batteries, it tends to go through it quickly but not to quick as some have said, I am on my computer 10 hours a day at least and I only replace them once every...oh three weeks? don't go for CHEEP batteries! Get the nice lithium batteries...

Works great

 

I don't know where the problem was with the other review person I wonder how far his wireless connector thing was from his mouse, I have it on my computer desk and my mouse works just fine always has.

This mouse fits great in the hand and really great for people with large hands, it fits and cups the palm of your hand to make it great for hours of use if you play video games on your computer. Its a simple plug and play mouse plug it in and off you...

Only con I have now is that my right click button won't work every now and then but i'm assuming its because after two years of constant use at least 10 hours a day has worn it out and that is why i'm writing this review and looking for a new one but...

Junk!!!

 

This was my first time trying a Kensington product with total disappointment.

NONE

This mouse is a piece of junk! It will not work unless it is right next to the USB dongle and yes I tried new batteries. It is not smooth when it does work. Cursor stutters and skips when moving. Very disappointed with this mouse. I returned it for...

Home and Office

 

At work my mouse freezes about 80% of the time when the computer sleeps. Not sure why it is doing this. It does not do that at home. After snyching the mouse all is good. Not enough for me to move away from the other features that I love.

Great mouse. I have this mouse at home and love it. I spend most of my day on my computer online work, local work and working between the two. The 5 button configuration is great! It is larger than most mice which is a pro for me too. The mouse at home...

eats up batteries. I suggest to anyone that is interested in this mouse that they invest in recharable batteries. I purchased a 4 pack and always have 2 on the charger and 2 in the mouse...much better cost than always buying more AA batteries
