Computer Reviews

I'm not a Sony fan but I'm impressed by this great camera. Before buying this camcorder it was so important for me to find reviews about it on the Internet. After I got it I was thinking several times to write my own review but as usual you always don't have time for that. Then I said that's not fair. I know how important was for me to find the reviews (thanks to everybody who wrote a review and helped me reach the final decision). And I know also that right now many guys are searching the Internet looking for new reviews. So it's my turn to pay back ...
I did my research on the Internet for about one year until I decided to buy this camcorder. Actually I wanted the TRV27 and I changed my mind in the last moment because the difference in price between these two models in too big ... I don't regret my decision. The 2.5" LCD is just enough for us.
TRV25 is not very good in low light but also it's not bad too. It's just good. After reading some reviews on the Internet I was expecting actually the camcorder to be even worst in low light. It's OK but I'm considering to buy a external light.
In good light the camcorder is amazing! Very good resolution (I have a digital HDTV which lets me know immediately if the signal is not good), very nice life-like colors, extremely clear and clean sound!
I had no problem at all to hook up TRV25 on the USB port (I have Windows 2000 professional). Then I got a Zoltrix FireWire card and I couldn't see the camcorder with it. I called Sony and Microsoft and I sent an email to Zoltrix in Hong Kong (no answer back yet). They couldn't help me too much. Sony said that you don't need any special Sony drivers for TRV25. It's true but the general DV driver I had in my Win2K was bad. If you have problems with your FireWire connection you may try the following links: http://www.reactorcritical.com/faq-dv/faq-jvc.shtml and http://www.siig.com/knowledge/10050286.HTM. Now I'm fine. The Zoltrix card is working fine and smooth and the cable (comes with the card) is long so you don't have to stay with your camera underneath you desk. Price paid (for card, cable and software): $51 CDN +Tax.
My problem now is that I couldn't find yet the best solution to store the footage. Hopefully I'll be able to find the right settings in KVCD (http://kvcd.org). To store the footage on VHS tapes is out of question! From my camcorder I'm getting a nice 520 lines and if I store this on VHS I'll have at the end just 240 horizontal lines! Where is the point of spending so much money for a digital camcorder then? So far using the KVCD the colors are good, sound is good, the resolution is good (704 x 480) - much better than VCD (352 x 240) or SVCD (480 x 480) (check http://www.vcdhelp.com ). The only problem is that the image is not smooth. It looks like I'm loosing frames. That happens only when the camera is moving fast to the left or to the right. ...
I love my camcorder and of course I recommend it to anybody. If you are shopping for a camcorder go digital first and second give a chance to Sony TRV25/27 and you'll fall in love.
Good luck!

After researching for 1 month on camcorders, I finally chose the Sony DCR-TRV25 for several reasons.
1) It records in 690,000 pixels (520 lines of horizontal resolution)
2) Megapixel on still photo shots (1152 X 864 instead of 640 x 480)
3) Its size (very small but not too small so you don't jitter the camera)
4) Its ability to record streaming video (to put on my website)
5) 7 lux rating / 0 lux with night shot
6) Color viewfinder
7) optional manual control on brightness, backlight and focus

Others that I looked at had 1 or more of the feautres missing (like still photo of 640x480 or CCD pixels of 480,000).. so in the end, I found this to be the best priced camcorder for the money ...(Only difference I see in TRV27 is that TRV27 comes with some editing tools... (which I won't use anyways). I also looked at the TRV17 which had everything I wanted expect it's photo resolution was at 640X480.

Video Editing with P-III, 450mhz, 256 mem, Windows XP with firewire port was a breeze. Just install the firewire card and load the drivers.

You transfer still shots via the usb port. Its very easy to do. Just plug in the USB cable (it comes with one) and you will see "Sony Digital Camera" on "My computer" Just drag and drop your photos into a folder.

Although the color and sharpness of this camera is amazing, my only gripe is that the video and stills gets grainy with low light. So I'd suggest you buy a light for the camera if you plan on doing a lot of indoor shots (or at least make sure you have a good light source.)

I also recommend you buy 1) UV filter lens (mostly to protect the camcorder's lens) 2) 32MB or 64MB memory stick (instead of the 8mb it comes with) 3) Wide angle lens 4) carrying case 5) Extra battery (the one it comes with lasts about an hour)

Even if you don't buy this camcorder, after all my research, I would stick with Sony or Panasonic camcorders (they seem to get the best reviews)

Great camcorder. Excelent outdoor pictures and sound! Easy to use. Still indoor pictures somewhat grainy though.

I bought this lens four years ago and have shot around 6,000 photos with it (4000 digital, 2000 35mm). Autofocus is very fast and quiet, which is typical of the Canon USM lenses. I would not recommend a Canon lens that does not have the ultrasonic motor (USM) focusing. Optics are sharp throughout the focusing range.

The lens is fairly heavy and after a few months of use, you will likely find that the weight of the glass is enough to make the lens telescope out when it's around your neck. If you want a compact lens that will let you take great pictures in a wide range of settings, this is probably the best lens you could get for a Canon camera. If you're a pro, you'll probably have a backpack full of lenses and you're not reading this anyway, so I'm not talking to you. If you want something you can sling over your shoulder and not think about when you take the kids to Disney World, get a cheaper, lighter lens.

The Image Stabilizer (IS) makes the lens a lot more expensive (some lenses are offered with and without it), so you should know what you're paying for. Some notes about the Image Stabilizer:

- The image stabilizer itself is basically a spinning lens element (piece of glass) that acts as a gyroscope. When the lens moves slightly, such as camera shake caused by your pulse, the gyroscopic element stays put while the other elements move. Because the gyroscopic element is no longer in line with the other elements, it effectively bends the light just enough to compensate for the lens moving.

- Having the IS feature does not mean that you can take crisp photos with a 1/20 sec exposure while jumping on a trampoline. What it means is that you can often get away with not carrying a tripod in normal lighting, and in low light when your photos would be very blurry (assuming you're not using really fast film), the IS will make the images significantly less blurry. An obvious corollary is that you can avoid using a flash in many situations when a flash is undesirable or prohibited.

- The rule of thumb to get crisp photos without image stabilization is that your shutter speed should not be longer than 1 over your focal length. So if you are taking a picture zoomed in at 135mm, your shutter speed needs to be 1/135 sec or faster, and since no camera I know of has a 1/135 setting, that means going up to 1/160 sec (on cameras with stops in 1/3 increments) or faster. The image stabilizer means that you can go 2 f-stops slower than you normally could using the rule I just explained. So if you're shooting at 135mm and you have the IS switched on, you can shoot at 1/40 sec instead of 1/160 sec. That means four times as much light goes past the shutter, or that you can get the same quality results with 1/4 of the ambient light you would normally need.

- There are some times when you SHOULD NOT use the IS feature. You should definitely not use it if you are in a car, on a roller coaster, if you are walking, or in any other situation where the camera is moving or vibrating a lot. You will get blurrier than normal images because the gyroscopic element is constantly moving all over the place, trying to prevent the image from moving. Only have IS switched on when you are using the camera in a normal, stationary, handheld manner. You should also not use IS when you are using a tripod, or when you have the camera resting on a vibration-less surface for an image. The reason is that the gyroscopic element will be spinning even though it's not needed, and while this isn't really bad, the motion could decrease photo quality (I've never noticed this, but this is what Canon claims), and it is unnecessarily using battery power.

- Finally, not all of Canon's IS lenses use the same IS technology; many of the more expensive and newer lenses are better, but it was hard enough for me to come up with what this lens cost--it'll be awhile before I can rationalize three times as much for an upgrade.

One last note about third-party lenses, in case you're thinking about it. I know the price may be compelling but there genuinely does seem to be major quality differences, and while all Canon EOS lenses work will all Canon EOS cameras, no matter how many years apart they are in design, it has happened several times that even the best of the third party lenses (Sigma, some others) do not function properly with new Canon cameras. I happily buy knock-offs with other things, but not with lenses, flashes, or other camera components that actually communicate with my camera.

While I considered purchasing a Canon 10D, I also started looking for a good first lens. Most of the reviewers and Canonites on the various forums suggested this lens as a good starting point.

The 28-135mm IS USM Zoom is the one I use all the time now on the Canon 10D, and that will be the case until I get over the sticker shock of the 10D/28--135mm combo and start adding other lenses to my kit.

In the meantime, this lens gets the job done very well. It gives you good range for a variety of of shots, from portraits to telephotos. There is even a macro mode, which gives you the opportunity to do close-ups--not really a true macro, but okay for shots of flowers, your kitty cat's face, etc. It is the flexibility of this lens that makes it so appealing if all you have is just one lens. And remember that if you mount this lens on a digital camera, like the 10D, the range is actually extended by a factor of 1.6.

The USM focuses fast, and the Image Stabilization (IS) really works. In fact, I've been spoiled by it, and IS is now a must for any of the longer lenses I might purchase in the future.

The IS system "locks" on target so that camera shake is eliminated or at least seriously minimized. This means fewer shots ruined by camera shake, and the IS system allows the user to shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds. This isn't just advertising hype. It works.

The image quality is quite good. I get good color saturation, contrast, and sharpness. After tweaking some shots in Photoshop, I was able to turn out some excellent 13x19 inch prints.

As others have pointed out, if you are just starting out with a Canon DSLR or SLR and want one good general purpose lens, this is it.

I bought this lens to use on a Digital Rebel and a Canon Elan II. What sold me on it was the image stabilization feature which allows photographers to take pictures in lower light without requiring a tripod for stabilization. The image stabilization feature works extremely well. I tested it on my first outing with this lens by taking it to 6th street in Austin just as the sun was going down. I took several sets of pictures, some with IS on and some with it off. I also took seven or eight comparison sets where I shot first without IS and then with it. This system really works, and pictures shot with the Image Stabilizer were much sharper in lower light.

What has also impressed me about this lens is the image quality. It is definitely a step above the Digital Rebel kit lens, and shows much finer detail than that lens. It also shows better contrast. There is a very slight amount of chromatic aberration, but it's only noticable on very close inspection, and is no worse than any other zoom lens I've used. Overall, this is an excellent addition to any Canon user's outfit.

Hi there, I belive that since the announcements of GT4 and its innovative technology SONY has done for many fans out in the world, I believe it's the best they've done since the release of GT3. With the introdution of the Longitech Driving Force Pro. for PS2, SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT is at its peak of the gaming world. I give real credit to this guys, they have done an extraordinary job with their new steering wheel that no other gaming company, not even XBOX has ever done for the bublic, to introdue a steering wheel with its own gear shift knob; back in the days, the steering wheels only included the triangle,square,circle and x-button, and also the directional arrow keys which made life a lot harder for racing game players to shift from gear to gear by pressing buttons. Now that SONY has brought the gear shift knob on its steering wheel it does not only makes life a bit fun, but it makes it more challenging for the racing fan.

Well, i recieved the wheel a while ago. I havent played it much but i have used it to my liking. This is my first wheel purchase. Although it can be a bit noisy with the feedback, it is really good. I have tried other wheels and they are nothing compared to this one. I play GT3 using only this wheel setting up my cars with drift settings and its great. It feels good drifting through a corner and its almost life like. Overriding the 900 deg turning makes it a harder play in GT3 as it is not accustomed to playing with a 900 degree turning wheel so its best to keep it at 200 deg legacy mode. I wonder what it would be like to play it on GT4 when it comes out.

Anyway if i were you and i dont have one of these wheels to play with, i suggest you BUY NOW because when GT4 comes out, these will be short of stock everywhere for sure.

I bought this wheel for my husband and he loves it! I never purchased an item like this before, especially for a toy that cost over $100. After reading the reviews, it seemed like it was worth the price and my husband would never expect me to buy something like this so it would be a good surprise. I of course searched through the web for the lowest price. I played it a few times and it was really fun to use. It felt like I was using the arcade steering wheel. I have tried other wheels before and it never comes close to that. My husband plays GT3 A-spec and Initial D the most on it right now. I'm planning to get him GT4 when it's released. I think the only complaint from my husband was the area where you lock the wheel in place. You have to turn these two plastic things to tighten it to a table, which is a hassle but it does keep the wheel secure. Overall, it's a good buy for gamers who like to race and experience the realism using a wheel instead of a controller. I thought it was really fun to use although I'm not into racing games. I would definitely recommend this product.

I have had a set of these hooked up to my 13" television in my kitchen for several years now and have been more than happy with the sound. Have gotten comments on the sound, as well (good). So when I saw them on sale Open Box at the CSW web site for $25 with free shipping, I immediately ordered them. Hooked them up to my old Mac and there they will stay until the machine dies or is replaced. Just terrific sound.

My ONE complaint is that the on/off is on the back of the sub, an inconvenience, especially since I do not always like to have the speakers on. However, for $25 and this kind of sound, I am happy to deal with it.

I strongly recommend these as long as you don't mind the on/off's placement.

I bought these speakers four years ago to go with my "new" computer. I have since gone through three computers, but I refuse to trade in these speakers. They continue to deliver clean, crisp sound. This system far outpaces most of its rivals, including many that cost several times as much. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Cambridge Soundworks.

I really like these speakers- who needs more clutter on their desk? these deliver really good sound, and are priced right. a great value, and they make all of my boring work much more enjoyable

Just got the set couple of days ago. 1)It DOES NOT take 2 minutes to "warm up" it is on fully bright at 15 seconds or so. I haven't seen it with an HDTV source yet but I can tell you that a "superbit" DVD looks stunning. It also looked very crisp with my XBOX hooked up. The EZ picture formatting is great for stretching the 4:3 TV signal (i like the 2nd zoom best) there are plenty of inputs on the back and the set has lots of nice features (pic in pic, pic out of pic, 3 window channel scanning)
You can view the display at almost 180 degrees and it doesn't "black out" like an LCD panel. Don't be disappointed if a standard TV signal doesn't look "stunning" I think it's just the nature of the beast. It still looks pretty good. I am anxious to switch over to "the dish" so i can get HDTV. Oh yeah, it's light (for a big set) 135 lbs. you can actually move the damn thing if you need to! Aesthetically the set is gorgeous to look at even when its turned off. My favorite thing is to put 2 large pictures side by side and watch the main channels (coming straight from the cable) and then "surf" the cable box channels and the window beside it. This can be done by piping the cable box output into a video input. I was very hesitant buying the tv sight unseen but am very pleased. BTW, you can go to the Zenith website and download the PDF manual for the set, that is very helpful. Finally saw picture in HDTV and it was STUNNING. Downside, NO DVI INPUT! DVI is apparently the newer pure digitial uncompressed connection (a little larger than an RGB jack) Newer TVs have them WHY DOESN'T THIS ONE? That's the only drawback I can think of. The HDTV picture into the RGB jack still looks fantastic.

Got this baby a week or so ago and it's great. I almost bought the 50" Sony which I had seen at the store but a last minute search revealed some issue with the bulbs burning out so that scared me enough to choose the Zenith. I'd wanted a plasma originally, but the quality of this picture is comparable to a $6,000-$7,000 plasma of the same size. Nice.

The HD programming while limited in availability looks outstanding. I thought the brightness levels might be an issue in a bright room like I have but it's not. The TV is surprisingly slim, and not particularly heavy for a set of this size.

I had alot of time to research TV's. We just built an addition
that will serve as a media/rec room. I wanted to buy a tv that we could surf the internet and play video games on without worrying about burn in. The picture quality is just as good as the Sony and Panasonic and is 2" bigger. It is very stylish. The pictures dont do it justice. You can't see the front speakers like in the pics. I could not find a picture of the matching stand anywhere online, but ordered it any way. The stand is just as stylish. It has 2 heavy glass shelves for components that are open and do not have doors. The TV only takes 15-20 secs to turn on. My kids won't let me near it. They have been playing Xbox on it non stop. The built in speakers are very good. I purchased mine for $2,499 right here on Amazon. $1000 cheaper than Bestbuy. It goes on sale periodically. I recommend waiting for such a sale. It was delivered in perfect condition.

This drive kit is absolutely fabulous. It took me about 15 minutes to set up. It helped me recover old data on an old hard drive and make use of the drive for my laptop as an external drive. It runs pretty quietly. There's a very light hum, but it's easily ignored.

It works pretty fast too; however, I did encounter some speed problems when I run programs off that drive and play mp3s at the same time. The seek time drastically slows. That's not really the fault of the device, as it was an old hard drive that I put in and I am pushing it.

I totally recommend this drive kit if you have spare drives sitting around that you want to make use of.

USB 2.0 can now reach transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and is backward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices.

I bought the ADS Tech USB 2.0 Drive Kit to achieve 3 main goals: a) Bigger, b) Faster, and c) Cheaper external storage. After researching several other products, ADS Tech's was the EASY winner in all three categories. And even though *Easier* wasn't a requirement, it was a snap to set up (about 20 minutes).

After my computer detected the Drive Kit and HDD, I was able to use FDISK to create a partition then format it just like any HDD. It was VERY FAST and VERY QUIET. Of course, to get the best performance, you must install a USB 2.0 port adapter in your computer. For desktop systems, you can buy a PCI-to-USB 2.0...(they're no harder to install than say...an internal modem). PC Cards are available for laptops.

I first tested my USB Drive Kit on a PC running Windows ME w/built-in USB 1.1 ports. It worked great (faster than moving data across a 10Mb LAN) Then I plugged it into a computer with USB 2.0 ports and it was FANTASTIC. I copied about 50 gigs of MP3 files to it without any problems. I even defragged it as quickly as any other local drive. After using the Drive Kit over an entire weekend, I was confident enough to delete the 50 gigs of data I still had on my internal HDD. The next day, I just turned the Drive Kit off & left my computer running while I was at work. Can't do that with my internal drives.

I didn't like other USB hard drives like those from Maxtor, etc., since they're more expensive and come with built-in HDD's that don't support swapping with other bigger or better drives. ADS Tech did it right. Put in whatever HDD you want. This is a fast, reliablle, & flexible solution for a GREAT price. I bought a USB 2.0 Drive Kit, a 60GB HDD, and a PCI-to-USB 2.0 Port Adapter...

Even though I can put different drives in the kit, I'm going to buy another one... GREAT PRODUCT. I recommend it for anyone who wants an inexpensive, external, transportable, storage solution.

I am in love.
less than 15 mins to put togheter. Instalation was a total breeze. Web page for ADS offered upgraded drivers. USB 2 adds tremendous speed.
What can I say, I have more problems with my vcr. I am spreading the news.

I've owned computers for years but have just recently gotten interested in them as musical devices. I just bought my first three piece speaker set a few months ago ( a cheap Altech300 set)and decided that I'd like something "good" for my new system.

Speaking as someone who bought his first stereo system with a school loan in the 70's I'm just amazed at the sound quality these speakers produce for well under $100. As for the volume and control complaints that a few people mentioned it is true that my son's electric guitar amp is louder. Of ocurse it's three feet tall. And there are very few controls on the speakers themselves which is just fine since every software program that plays music has an equalizer, balance control and such in it. I really don't need to set volume or balance six different ways.

I'm sure there are better speakers out there but with these you are well into the land of diminishing returns. By that I mean you'd need to spend a LOT to improve quality much at all. Get 'em, listen to 'em and see.

After researching for a while which 3 piece speaker system to get for my PC I chose the BA790's. For the price, they are unbeatable, comparable to other systems selling for twice the price. Very clean and natural sound, and the subwoofer is very capable. Two rather small criticisms....1)no treble control (only bass for the subwoofer) and 2)They could use a little more power, but that is only for those who enjoy really cranking their speakers.

I own a set of this BA790 and also BA4800. The thing that I really like about Boston-acoustics is that they sound so natural with every music. The bass level is natural and the sound that is being produced from little sattellites are crisp and natural. Both of the speakers provide matching in both treble and bass. Although BA790 lacks of more power output due to it's size, but when you listen to music.. it's not about how loud it is.. it's about "Quality".

I purchased those speakers to replace the original speakers I got with my Dell computer three years ago. I am very happy with this product. It provides very good value for its price. The installation is quick and easy. It is perfect for a non professional user who just wants to sit by the computer and listed to MP3 files or radio stations. If you turn the volume high you will hear it all over the house but at very high volumes the quality of the sound really begins to diminish so do not expect to have a dance party with those speakers. the sound quality is a little less than my car speakers. 6 months after the purchase - I am still very pleased.

I saw the speakers and thought, it'll be great for my home pc. When I got the package, my pc was with my sister so I thought, I'll connect it to my TV to see the quality of sound it can produce. I hook it up and disconnect the mini-hifi system that I had connected to the TV.

My wife insist that we tried the speakers with the Jurassic Park movie, just to compare it's bass reproduction capabilities. Boy, It sounded much better than the mini-hifi system that was originally in it's place.

After a few more movies and live concerts, I decided that the speakers should stay connected to the TV. The very same day, I went out to get another one, for my PC.

This sound system is very capable of producing excellent quality sound on your computer. I have had no complaints with this system. It was easy to install, easy to hook up, and ready to go in around 10 minutes. Works great in unison with your current computer speakers if you would like. The wired remote control is great as I mounted it to my computer desk for easy control of the powerful subwoofer and satellites. It's a excellent system for a excellent price!...

Considering the price, it simply is the best mouse you can buy in the US market. It might feel too narrow and small for the people with extra big hands, but for the others, it feels pretty comfortable while providing excelent control.
If you want absolutely the best mouse in the market regardless of the price, go for the MicroSoft mouses. Their design is superve for pretty much everyone with hands in various shapes and sizes. Too bad, MS discontinued their ball mouse. Ask to any professional gamers out there. With profer care, ball mouse provide better control for hardcore gamers.

An excellent mouse with true control. Sturdy enough for lotsa game playing!

I learned a long time ago that the price of a mouse does not have anything to do with quality. This mouse outperforms the more expensive ones easilly.

This is a great mouse for anyone: gamers, businesspeople, newbies to the computer world, and the everyday computer user. It has everything you need without being expensive or over the top. It boasts a comfortable grip, a wheel button, and a high quality trackball. The wheel is essential for fast scrolling and can be used as an extra button for gamers who have mastered mouse usage. The trackball is efficient, allowing smooth cursor movements that wont get you killed in those intense FPS (first person shooters) firefights. It is easy to clean and needs to be done only on an occasional basis. The price is extremely affordable especially for businesses or home offices. It has everything an infrequent computer user needs and is cheap enough to buy in bulk for companies. I have an average to large hand and it fits quite comfortably in my hand, this mouse is perfect for my business use, however I prefer an optical mouse for my gaming. This is by the far the best mouse in terms of bang for your buck, cheap, affordable, well made, comfortable, and high quality. Everything you need in a simple mouse. The only problem I see is the possibility of it being too small for a large handed person, although that problem I'm sure I encountered with most models, unfortunate, but true. You can't go wrong for this price, you really can't.

I bought this mouse for my home computer (windows platform) and it was great but I was getting frustrated at work with all the wires getting tangled so I moved it to work (NT platform). I had no problems installing the mouse on either platform and it works just as well on both too. I truly enjoy the way the mouse conforms perfectly to my hand and the three buttons and scroll bar are great. One of the fun things is that you get to choose what each button or the wheel actually does (i.e.... side button to double click or back button on internet or internet scroll or select and click or close or whatever). You totally map your mouse to work, as you want. I've heard a lot of people comment negatively about the batteries that are required but I don't see that as a drawback. If you go into the control panel and select Mouse, you can find out the battery life in your mouse so you can monitor if you need to get new batteries. Plus the simple thought of a battery over my mouse cord getting wrapped up in my phone cord... I'll take it.

I think I bought this mouse because of how cool it seemed, and it got a lot of oohs and ahhs from a lot of people, but this is the best mouse I have ever used, and was definitely worth the $60 I paid for it. The hassle of mouse cords (okay, so it seems like a hassle now) is gone, and I can put the mouse anywhere I want. The only downside is the necessity of batteries, but I have (since buying the mouse) only had to change them once since July. My total battery usage, however, is the same due to my solar-powered universal remote (A Sony RM-V801, which I also highly recommend). The mouse also gives plenty of warning (onscreen, but basically not intrusive) when the batteries are low.

The only drawback to owning this mouse is that once you get used to it, using other computers (with traditional mice) is a bit annoying. It's easy to get used to using the two extra buttons (all four buttons are highly programmable), which for me are double-click (the thumb button) and F12, which operates my video card's zoom function (the scroller button), which is very handy with this mouse, since I'm not tied down to sitting right at my desk. I find I change how I sit and where the mousepad is a lot when I use my computer (sometimes I even use my wristrest for the mousing surface...I suppose you'd have to see my desk to understand why that makes sense, but it does), and it is made far easier by the fact that I don't have to reposition or pull on the mouse cord every time I do that. I never feel tired or cramped after using my computer, probably due to the fact that I shift around frequently.

Since it's designed primarily for the right hand (and quite well), the only real drawback to the actual usage of this mouse would be experienced by lefties, I suppose, but then again if you hold it at an angle and reset the orientation it should be pretty comfortable. Try one out in a store if you don't want to worry about possibly sending it back later.

Overall, this mouse is superb; I plan to keep it until I need to replace it with another one, which I hope is a long time off. I can't think of anything I don't like about it.

I am on my computer just about from when I wake up to when I go to sleep. I run my own website and am using my mouse constantly. I've gone through a huge selection of mouses, trying to keep my wrist from killing me, but nothing ever helped - until this mouse.

It's AMAZING how much this mouse is better than others out there. It is incredibly comfortable in your hand. Without that darn wire tugging at you when you move the mouse, the stress on your hand is much, much less. You can even use your mouse on a side tray, or on a lap-tray or anything else. You could vary your position daily to keep your wrist in shape.

I had heard from some people that cordless mice had slow response time - but I use this for everything from design work to word processing to database development to serious gaming, and it's never let me down.

I recommend this to every computer person I know. It's really, really great!
