Good Value on a Travel Mouse for Notebook Users
By Midwest Mac User
I bought this mouse for my PowerBook, primarily for use when away from home. For my large hands, I have traditionally preferred large mice, such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and the (no longer available) full-size Logitech MouseMan series. However, I do find this mouse to be perfectly acceptable, especially given its portable dimensions. For me, it is much more comfortable than the slightly smaller, but more expensive Pocket Mouse SE (72118). It is comfortable enough that when I get home, I pull it out of its included stuff sack and plug it into my Kensington Keyboard-in-a-Box (64350) which serves as a two-port USB hub when plugged into my PowerBook. Thus, it also makes a reasonable compact desktop mouse.In terms of performance, it has worked on any reasonable surface. I have had no problem using it on a variety of surfaces including solid-wood desks, laminate desks, standard mouse pads, a deeply textured couch, jeans, and the comforter on my bed. The only problematic surfaces have been a shiny metal file cabinet top and a holographic mouse pad, but this is to be expected. For the price I can't complain.As far as compatibility is concerned, I have had no problems with my Mac running OS X (10.3) or my PC running Windows XP Professional. No driver installation was required for either system.I'd highly recommend this as carry-along mouse for most portable computer users.

By A Customer
I recently purchased this mouse to carry with me while traveling. The mouse works great. I haven't had any problems using it on various surfaces. Once in a while the cursor will "jitter" back and forth as though the mouse is sensing tiny tiny movements even though it is resting. A simple nudge of the mouse stops the "jitter" if you feel the need to stop it. The wheel and buttons all work well. The thing I like best about this traveling mouse compared to others I looked at was it's size. It isn't the smallest "traveling" mouse on the market, but it is small enough to fit in my computer case for easy traveling yet big enough to be usable by someone with large hands and long fingers (me).

Good while new, although cursor jumped
By Jujube
Pro:1. very long cord (I no longer have USB ports in my keyboard, so this is essential)2. Two button, one scrollwheel design easily adaptable for right or left hands3. compact size and low profile comfortable for small handsCon:1. skipping cursor2. a little picky about tracking surfaces3. Cord attachment isn't sturdy, even with careful use. Began getting wobbly after second year of ownership, necessitating holding cord still between middle and third fingers while moving. Had to replace mouse before third year.
