so far so good Jul 28, 2008
Bought this together when I purchased Sony Vaio laptop in Amazon. The price was $19.90 and it's still cost the same. I replaced the battery once after 3 months of using it and now 3 months later the battery still works fine. The sensitivity is good and I like the size and the shape of this mouse because you can rest your fingers comfortably. The scrolls is good too.

Compact, comfortable mouse for medium to small hands Jul 28, 2008
I ll start off by saying this is my first wireless mouse in many years - I tried them back when battery life was pretty poor and range was rather short. I went looking for one after feeling annoyed by cables getting tangled and attacked by my cats while using my laptop. A quick list of pros & cons is the best way to get my thoughts across so here we go:
Pros:
- nice range of colors although the color only applies to the top of the mouse
- quick plug & play capability: the first time I popped the receiver in my laptop s USB port the mouse worked right away running Vista Home Premium
- good size for my hands: I m a girl, so my hands are medium-to-small I d say. My husband thought the mouse would be too small for him, definitely.
- minimum of buttons: just left & right and a scroll wheel. That s all I need personally, but if you want a back/forward set, look elsewhere.
- great battery life: I ve had this mouse for a couple months now and I m still on the first AA battery. Being able to snap the receiver onto the back to stop the mouse from draining whilst not in use helps immensely I m sure.

Cons:
- occasional wonky reception: I can t say I ve figured out why or how this happens, but sometimes the receiver s LED blinks and the response of the mouse is either erratic or zero. Eventually it sorts itself out, but I can t quite pin this down to line-of-sight or battery issues or something yet discovered...
- limited range: don t try using this as a pointer from across the room because it's not likely to respond. I d say maybe 5 feet tops, maybe a bit more.
- receiver sticks out a fair bit from the port, which makes it awkward to have on your lap and makes you worry it s going to snap off at any moment. I hadn t really considered this fact while looking for a mouse, and next time I think I will look for one with a smaller receiver.

Because of these cons, I give the mouse 4 out of 5 stars - a rather functional simple mouse for a decent price :

Very Happy Jul 28, 2008
This little Mouse is wonderful and fixed all my problems with trying to use a lap top computer. It is so easy to use and as cute as a House Mouse!

Product works as advertised, no set up required.
Comfortable to hand.
Bought a second one for my work laptop.

A very good mouse for a reasonable price Jul 22, 2008
What can you expect from a mouse...? Well, this one will give you that.

Only drawback for me is it size, small for my hand. Accustomed to the MSFT IntelliMouse optical, this one looks better suited for my wife's or for my 4 yo daughter's hands. However, working w/o cables is heaven when you use your laptop and have some space in a desk.
