Targus Notebook Wireless AMW05US Black/Silver 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Optical Mouse

the mouse is very small, I wouldn't use this for gaming or extended use, but much nicer than the track pad for either. The scroll wheel lights up red when it is on, and green when the battery is getting low.

Cheap (got it for < 10$). keep it in my laptop bag in case I need of a mouse at some point rather than the track pad. quick to set up too. The batteries have a decent life, but don't leave it turned on in your bag

the transmitter does seem a little flimsy, although mine has not broken, yet. (crossing fingers)

Good Bargain Mouse, until it breaks!

For 7 bucks its worth the shot that it wont break, but if it does don't be surprised.

Great price, nice velvet case, rechargeable! Option to use cable or wireless

The usb adapter breaks, i should have read the reviews as it seems many others have had this problem. Upon opening the usb adapter i noticed a wire that was cut. Poorly designed rather large and clumsy

Works

Good for the price when under ten but not convenient to be using for a desktop because it takes up too much space. I would imagine it's worse for a laptop.

Works fine for everyday use on a desktop

Battery is weak, software is not great and requires a few restart to save configuration, and usb dongle is big

Works Decently

Don't be afraid of the reviews I suppose, it seems to work just fine as long as you don't use it as a football or something. I even dropped it onto the floor and hit it pretty hard by accident, still workin'.

It works, I read the reviews and was kinda nervous about it breaking and all, but I've had it about 1.5 weeks or 2 now, I forget, and it shows no signs of dying. Could be an isolated case, I suppose

Signal from mouse isn't very strong, I had to set it very close compared to my Logitech mouse, which is also more expensive, but still ; Tracking of course, isn't that precise, but it definitely gets the job done just fine. I even play Unreal with this...

Awful

There's a reason the cost went down so much, it doesn't work.

Nice size, rechargable batteries, etc. Would be nice if it WORKED though

This thing crapped out in less than a week. Exchanging for a replacement. Though judging from these reviews I doubt it would do any good

Excellent at 8.99

Read the reviews online and have tapped the dongle; lets see how long it lasts now.

Wireless, Rechargeable, Optical, (Cheap at 8.99)

Not worth 29.99 (that it is now priced at)

7 days and quit working

I should have known better than buy something that I could only replace. One bad product follows another, hopefully the replacement unit will work better than the original.

Ease to use when working, comfortable. Easy to install

This mouse quit working after 7 days, no refund policy only replace
