Mighty Mouse!
No foolin', this is one great mouse for the money. No more shaking to dislodge a stuck mouse ball. Quick accurate pointer movements and a comfortable hand feel, this mouse includes a useful scroll wheel too. At this price, nothing appears to come close. Oh, and don't forget the limited lifetime warranty. Not sure what the limitations are, but lifetime is a pretty long time. It's nice to know the company is confident in the product. I like mine so much, I bought another one for a friend.

Good Product and Great Price
This mouse is a good product and it saves you ... from purchasing the Microsoft Intellimouse. I had a small amount of trouble installing it on my 486, but I got it to work well after a while. It works fine on all of my other computers. The software also allows you to program the scroll wheel to perform a function upon clicking it. This mouse looks different than the advertisements show it. The mouse is white and the scroll wheel is blue. This is a PS2 mouse. If you have a computer department store at home, you could probably find this mouse .... This mouse works best on flat surfaces and senses even the slightest movement. Great Product! Highly recommended!

SUPER MOUSE=SUPER PRICE
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! THIS LITTLE MOUSE WORKS PERFECTLY=ALMOST A GIVE WAY PRICE=SO COMFORTABLE TO USE= NO MORE CLEANING CHORES=SMOOTH AS SILK=ON A ONE TO TEN RATING IT IS A TEN PLUS=THANK YOU "MICRO" FOR A SUPERB PRODUCT AT SUCH A LOW PRICE WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY! BLESS YOU!!!

very pleased so far!
I have rather sweaty fingers (I tell ya, this is really annoying), so it is essential for me NOT to rely on touch pad too much. This tiny mouse has been a life saver for me. It is rather affordable, and works pretty well with many (but not all; occasionally it doen't work on very, very smooth surfaces) surfaces. There are more expensive chordless models, but in many occasions, I'll be working on my notebook computer with limited amount of space, so having the "retractable" chord doesn't bother me at all.

"Retractable" is indeed the key here. It's so compact that you don't feel that you are carrying around yet another tiny electronic gadget along with your cell phone, mp3 player, shaver, etc., etc. Anyways, highly recommended.

Best Laptop Accessory!!!!!!!
I LOVE this little mouse. Its so compact but it doesnt feel too small. Portability is awesome as its cord is retractable. Theres not one downside to this mouse! I highly recommend this for any laptop user. This is also the first time I've owned an Optical Mouse and I will NEVER go back to a track ball mouse. You no longer have to drag the mouse everywhere and when using a laptop thats really helpful!!! You can also use this on almost any surface!

great size and useability
This is a fantastic solution for a laptop. I don't like touch pads or even the stick in an IBM ThinkPad. I used to carry a full size mouse. This is virtually weightless and can fit in any spare part of a laptop bag. I initially found my hand felt cramped because I was trying to hold it with the same fingers I use for a full size mouse, but I consciously just rearranged my fingers and found it to be incredibly easy to use for long periods of time. The retracting cord is ingenious.

    You really dont want to be without this gem
    I just purchased a Dell laptop, The touchpad was so sensitive it drove me nuts. So I looked at this model because it seemed to have all the right specs.
    It took all of 5 minutes to install the software and have the mouse up & running. It is small enough to work on the right or left side of your laptop. It is optical W/USB & a PS2 adapter. It has a 3' extension. The mouse is small but very ergonomic with a 2 button scroll. Works with all Windows including XP OS & Macs.

    The perfect laptop companion
    I love this little thing. A lot of travel mice are too small, or the wrong shape, or easily broken, but this mouse is just right. The buttons have just the right amount of give to them, the scroll wheel is firm but not too firm, and it tracks well whether I'm using it on a tabletop, on my pants leg, or even on my laptop's wrist rest. Plus, it comes with a sturdy carrying case, so I don't have to worry about it getting damaged in my laptop bag, and an extension cord, in case the three-foot cord on the mouse isn't long enough for whatever reason. It looks stylish, too!

    The perfect laptop mouse
    I really love the Traveler mouse. Yes, it's small, but I have very large hands and I've adapted to it quite easily. It tracks smoothly and the wheel has just the right amount of resistance. It even comes with a nice PVC travel case, perfect to slip into your laptop bag without scratching anything else up.

    This is a great companion to a Powerbook, too, as it looks cool alongside! Now if Apple would just work on making the right button more useful in OSX...but I digress.

    Fine product...but be careful!
    Overall, this mouse works wonderfully. It is comfortable to hold, its four buttons (including the mouse wheel) are easy to program, and it has very precise tracking. However, there are a couple of problems. First, I had to download updated software drivers from Logitech's Website, in order to program this mouse to work with my Windows XP system. I found this odd, since Logitech claims this product was designed for Windows XP. The other problem is a more generalized one, which is unique to optical mice--i.e., they don't work well on shiny surfaces such as translucent plastic. But this is easily remedied.

    Best mouse I've used so far
    This is a great mouse and well worth the purchase. I don't even notice a different between a tradition ball mouse and this optical one. It's just as responsive and the way it's design feels a lot more comfortable in my hand than a basic mouse design. I never realized how uncomfortable a standard designed mouse was until using this one.

    The thing you have to rememeber with most optical mouses is that you can't use them on reflective surfaces. Many desks have a somewhat reflective surface so you should use a mouse pad or even just a piece of paper would work. Just as long as it's not reflective then it would work. I even use it on my pillow while I'm in bed with my laptop.

    There is also not an issue with XP. It takes about a few seconds for XP to recognize it but then it automatically installs a basic driver for it. If you want to use some of the fancy features then you have to install Logitech's driver but it's not necessary.

    4 Button mouse with a 5 star design!
    I love this mouse. I upgraded from a regular single optical mouse by logitech. I am a struggling Graphics artist and the dual optics looked good to me, plus i love the side button for those command-click or shift-click (Windoze) for opening a web site in a second window feature. It works perfectly on my mac, and i will probably get one for my PC as well. Its a nice upgrade, tracks well and feels good in hand. You will not be disappointed at all if you buy. It's worth every penny. Enjoy.
