Mouse Reviews

Model for this product is DSB-H4SMK, it has 4 usb port, 1 ps2 keyboard, 1 ps2 mouse & 1 serial port. I bought this product because I was hoping to free up irqs and not buying more products, boy was this a big mistake. I connected the device to my computer then turned it on, it took 15 to 20 min to boot up. Ok so it takes a while to boot. Then After booting I notice my the software for my UPS was really slow....the integrated serial port was slow, slower then the board serial port. Third no other driver but win98 no winnt, me, 2000. You would think that it should be compatible w/ ME, think not I got that blue screen drivers not compatible. Or win2000 upgrade....same thing.... So I say stay away from this product, better yet stay away from this Brand. Further more I called dlink techsupport and they put me on hold for 20 min. I told them my problem and they said we cant do anything this type of product. I could have told them that, so I told them if you cant do anything why sell a defective product. And then I added maybe this company is defective. So they hung up on me. Well I guess I cant expect a defective company to have good service!!!!!!!!! Hope this review helps.

This little gadget it great. My computer resides a little further away from my desktop and monitor than most peoples so the USB and PS/2 ports are a little far away and the mouse cord has limited slack. I bought this and everything works as planned. I installed the drivers, plugged it in after a reboot and off I go. My PC is considerably loud with all the fans I have in it, and I don't like to work in a noisy area. So with this I can keep my computer closed up and still be far enough away to not let the noise get to me.

I received this "revolution" in internet pointing devices for my birthday, used it for two days, and then promptly returned it!

What a USELESS device! The track-pad tends to be sticky and difficult to use, the buttons, though appropriately placed, were not nearly enough for "web racing," as I found myself having to resort to my keyboard as often as I used the WebRacer.

The included software worked decently, but was still not enough to make up for the inadequacies of the WebRacer itself.

My advice: stick to your mouse and keyboard!

I have own one of these for over 2 years, and have never had to replace it or clean it. We have cats and dogs and pet hair does not bother it in any way. Before we had to replace or mouse every 3 months, because of pet hair. All my freinds that use it want one, because it is easy to use.

This mouse worked very well for the first week, since then it has needed cleaning at least every hour. The scroll function is nice, though unreliable, half the time it does not work, or flies through ten pages before I can get it to stop. Don't waste your money here, spend the extra money, and get an optical.

Better because the included software allows programming "wheel button" to several different specialized operations (Next Window is my favorite). 100% compatible with IntelliMouse. However, if you try use the Kensington software with a real IntelliMouse there can be problems using this feature because the wheel in and IM has weaker springs and you will inadvertantly press the wheel button over and over when you scroll. Better because it is a lot less expensive but constructed just a good.

I've had this mouse for about 2 years now and I've been not too happy with it for most of that time. It's simple- just plug and play, but I don't like the shape much, the cord is overly bulky, the button lacks a certain je ne sais button-oi, and it's not very sensitive. It's gotten pretty bad over the last year, even after cleaning it's just so insensitive. There are probably better third party mice out there.

Freezes with some, newer, Mac applications coming out of -sleep- mode on my rev C iMac. I especially have trouble with Coda Music apps. A restart fixes all but ... I try to think of it as digital syncopation ... and moreover its Bondi Blue which doesnt match my Grape iMac ... oh woe ... Im going out to the garden and eat worms.

My old wheel mouse is much much better and precise than this kensington optical mouse. Contact customer support to solve it, tried the right drivers, but the mouse still without precise.
Please dont buy it. Choice a Logitech or Microsoft one, because the diammond tech is not good at all. Kessington, try to do more research in optical technology and release a good product.

I am very pleased with my purchase of this mouse. Though it was priced lower than many other mice with equivalent features, (wireless, optical tracking, four buttons and a scroll wheel), I believe it gives a lot for your money. Bear in mind, this mouse is designed for right hand use, not for left hands. The only other caveat or crtiticism I can come up with is that the two side buttons are located such that it is difficult to click them simultaneously with your thumb. But all the rest is good news: accurate, optical tracking; good wireless performance; a nice, medium weight that feels good; a size and contour appropriate for most adults' right hands; and Kensington's fantastic MouseWorks software that is intuitive, well-designed, effective, and exceptionally versatile and user-programmable.

1) The "64350" keyboard is for MAC computers only, not PC's!

2) The product photo (white keyboard) that you see here on Amazon is NOT the keyboard that you will receive. The white keyboard photo is for the 64330 keyboard, not the 64350 keyboard. For a detailed description of the "64350" keyboard that you will receive, go [online.]P>3) After promising a full refund (including shipping), and after returning the keyboard, Office Depot did not even refund the full amount of the keyboard plus taxes! After calling up and complaining, they again said they would offer a full refund.

4) Over a week has gone by and Office Depot has not corrected the incorrect keyboard image on this web page.

This is a full sized, smoke/black keyboard with large white characters on the key faces. It has a soft power switch on the upper right of the keyboard. The keyboard is solid and well made with light, but long, key travel. This a USB keyboard with USB ports on the left and right rear edge. More important, this is a Mac keyboard, not a generic USB or Windows-but-can-be-used-with-a-Mac keyboard.

The Kensington 64350 is a great replacement for the old style compact iMac keyboard and standard Apple USB keyboards.

When I first got my Wireless Turbo mouse, I found the transparent blue ball to be a little sticky, so I dropped the putty-colored ball from my old ADB turbomouse into this new one and found it to be smoother . OK. But then my first Wireless Turbo Mouse sucked batteries; I had to change them about once a week. Kensington replaced it, and now I've been using the replacement for about a year and I'm finding that the cursor jumps randomly all over the screen. New batteries helped a little but I can be working and suddenly the cursor will jump to the other side of the screen-or if I'm word-processing, the cursor will just start drifting uncontrollably down the line. It's disastrous in Photoshop. I'm going back to usb. And I'll probably buy a Kensington Turbo Mouse.

The Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless is similar to the older Turbo Mouse, but has some new features to bring it up-to-date.
The wireless version works, for me, as well as a wired version, but with more flexibility. You need to keep the main trackball unit within a reasonable distance of the wireless receiver (within six feet, according to the manufacturer.) If you merely want to eliminate the wire, this is great. If you want to sit across the room, the Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless may not be the answer.
Setup is fairly straight-forward. Connect the wireless receiver to a free USB port on your Mac. Make sure the channel-select switch is set to the same position on both the receiver and the Turbo Mouse. (There is a two-position channel selector, in case of radio interference.)
The trackball uses AA batteries. If you are going to leave your Turbo Mouse unused for more than a few days, you should probably remove the batteries. Also, check periodically to see the batteries are sufficiently charged.
Kensington has also been working on the MouseWorks software. You will probably need to download an update from the Kensington web site. The version I received with mine was still beta. I have since downloaded a few different updates and it works fine with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
There are a total of ten buttons and a scroll-wheel. The four buttons surrounding the ball itself are for mouse click and dragging options and can be customized to suit your needs.
There are also six programmable buttons lining the top portion of the Turbo Mouse Pro. These buttons can be programmed to launch any application or jump to a favorite web page.
If you have never used a track ball before, this can take some getting used to. However, once you become accustomed to the feel and operation, you won't want to go back to a traditional mouse.
Pros: Flexible, easy to use, programmable. Scroll wheel is a nice bonus. Wireless. Smooth and precise tracking.
Cons: Large and awkward at first. OS X version of MouseWorks software still lacks some of the features of the original Mac OS 8 & 9 versions. No low-battery indicator.

I can't believe no one else has reviewed this mouse yet! I purchased the blue mouse, because well, blue is my favorite color. The MX 510 is fantastic- I love the placement of the buttons, and the auto-scroll buttons are especially handy in those situations where you have a very long document and the wheel button is too annoying to use.

The paint job on this mouse is amazing- overall, the mouse is surprisingly large, but it's comfortable and fits my hand well. Great buy!

I ordered this product thinking that it would be a great thing to have a USB mouse, as they have better bandwidth and have been reccommended for gaming. This mouse came with one piece of paper written in broken English trying to tell me how to configure the scrolling features of the mouse, once installed. I had no idea how to proceed.

The drivers provided are insufficient in themselves and those of you that got your computer with Windows 98 preinstalled will find it difficult to insert the Windows 98 CD that the Install Wizard requests (it says it cannot fine some hidden usb system files on the C drive - though I did find them in an archived zip format. Upon extracting them to the prompted file, my computer crashed. I used Config Safe to get things back to normal - though I am still not sure if it could get rid of the problem this "compatible" mouse was causing.

Maybe I am an amateur -- but the bottom line is you will have problems with this.

I bought this mouse for my laptop. It was installed without a hitch! The default settings were fine and really easily used. A small pleasant surprise was both my touch pad and the USB mouse can be used simultaneously. Also, the zoom function was really a bonus!

Seemed like a great idea, combine it all in one. I needed a small portable trackball mouse with 3 buttons, the optical would have been a bonus, especially in the track ball.
Sorry, if you need to use the middle mouse button (the ball doubles as middle button) a lot, especially by holding it down, then forget this mouse. In addition if you're using it in trackball mode the scroll functions are tranfered to the optics in the bottom and the slightest movement will shift your cursor off target. This problem is compounded by the stiff button action which means you have to grip the mouse firmly while pressing the buttons.
Also the tiny trackball doesn't have much range, something that might have been solved by the drivers but I really needed something that could be moved to different computers without installing drivers all the time.
End result, an essentially unusable mouse. I'm very disappointed.

This is the 2nd time I have bought a mouse from a no-name brand vendor and this is the 2nd time I have been pleased.

The first time was almost 6 year ago- a vendor was selling a mouse without a ball. It had 2 small pads that could detect X & Y motion. I have 2 of those and it still works great today. They require absolutely no cleaning. I remember seeing those mice back in the mid 80s as part of workstations sold by DEC. I always wanted one of them and finally someone sold one- not the main stream vendors like IBM or Microsoft- but a small no-name vendor.

Fast forward to the present when optical mice are finally affordable and plentiful and often all designed in the same way... it is refreshing to see yet again a small vendor has taken the idea and innovated on it.

The track ball on top of this device is surprisingly usable. The accompanying software lets you control the ball in a variety of ways - e.g. as a 2D scroll ball or as a up/down scroll ball + page back and forth for easy web browsing.

You can also press down on the ball so it serves as a 3rd button that you can bind to other functions like, opening new apps or zoom in on the screen.

The ball is removable so that it can be cleaned- good thinking on starlogic's part.

Installation software comes on a floppy. I recommend you copy it to your local harddrive first before installing.

There is no company web site. So help comes from either a 1800# or email to support.

I use it under WinXP. Docs indicate it works under all Win OS'.
Also it does not come with a USB to PS2 connector.
