Consumer review (newegg.com)

Nice

I like the feel of this mouse - seems like a textured surface over the plastic - also a good form factor. Very small.

My son has one of these and has liked it for the several years he's had it. I decided to get one and I'm using it with a MacBook Pro. No issues - works well with the Mac. I've also used it with an ASUS eeepc. Works fine - I like the fact that I don't...

None so far

best bluetooth mouse i've seen

heavier than a wired mouse because it has batteries in it.

bluetooth ; charges via usb (with included cable) ; includes rechargeable batteries ; simple design (just two buttons and the wheel) ; AAA batteries are lighter than AA batteries ; no distracting optical light on the bottom (because it's laser)

mouse only gets power to recharge via usb. mouse does NOT communicate with usb when it's plugged up to the usb to recharge. instead, it still requires bluetooth ; why couldn't it use the usb for its connection when it's plugged to usb to recharge anyway

Mixed feelings, OK overall

Overall i like it. It has a pretty solid feel and is quite heavy (batteries) which i think makes it more stable. The batteries started acting funny after close to a year, so i replaced the stock 700 mAh ones with 900's. The 2 biggest annoyances are...

Very nice sort of 'soft rubber' feeling finish ; Decent battery life ; Good 'feet ; Works on all surfaces i've used it on ; Can recharge WHILE using it ; Silicone wheel feels good, works well

3 button (much rather have 5) ; Goes to 'sleep' too quickly (matter of seconds) when idle and about 1/2 a second to wake up. I got used to it, but i don't like it, especially when it's plugged in via the USB cable where there is no reason for it to go...

Excellent portable mouse

I'm a travelling consultant and need a portable mouse like this where I don't have to spend time unwinding a cord or have a receiver sticking out. It works great with my Thinkpad R61. Not sure I'd use it for gaming with the lag, but I'm not really a...

Simple, effective. Charges via USB so you don't have to carry a charger or worry about batteries dieing on you. No external receiver required (though your laptop DOES need to have a bluetooth receiver; either built-in or external.) It's not much bigger...

Some complain about the lag between use. It's definitely there but it's a split second - you notice it just enough but it's not bad at all; you can easily get used to it. However, I've had it stop alltogether a couple of times; in this case I just...

Possbily Best Bluetooth Mouse

Possibly the best bluetooth mouse available at the time of writing this review.

Great accuracy on this mouse. Can switch between 800dpi and 1600dpi. Nicely curved and sized for medium sized hands

Has a standby mode that occurs when the mouse is not moved for a few seconds, this can be slightly irritating at first, but I was quick to get used to it. It did not prove a problem for me when using CAD applications or playing games

Looks cool but lags badly

Awesome design, its probably the coolest looking mouse I've seen in a while.

Severe lag! I've tried using this product on every surface color, white to black.

Nice

Nice mouse great for image editing, cad drawing, and games.

None except it goes to a half power save when no activity occurs after a few seconds, WILL ONLY NOTICE IF ON DARK COLORED MOUSEPAD OR HARD TO READ SURFACE MATERIAL.
