Navigate documents and Web pages effortlessly without using the on-screen scroll bar, saving time and effort. Ambidextrous design makes working more comfortable, whether you mouse with your left or right hand.

The reason why I bought this mouse is because the previous mouse (A4 tech) which I was using died on me after three years of usage. I was scouting for something simple and nice, I came across this.

One thing you have to take note is that, the product advertised in Amazon is different from what you received. Althought the design is just slightly different, nevertheless this is still a great mouse.

It's very light, and hence, it's easy to be carried around or even to chuck it inside your bag. It goes well with both of my laptops (for HP and Samsung netbook).
In terms of the mouse pointer and tracking surfaces, I do not have any problems with it. It's pretty smooth and accurate. The scroll wheel and the buttons are not too noisy. However, if you intend to use it in a library where total silent is required, I wouldnt suggest you use the mouse, but instead, use your notebook touchpad.

This mouse is very durable as well. I've once dropped it on a concrete floor and it still works perfectly fine. You can try dropping it a few times, to test how durable it is.

All in all, I've been using this mouse for four months now and am very happy with it. For those who want something simple, light, compact & non-hardcore gamer, this is the mouse for you.

Too small 23 July 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was surprised how small this mouse is, even taking into account that it is described as 'compact'. The picture gives no idea of the scale. I was also surprised how short the cable is. It is fine for attachment to a netbook or a laptop, but impractical for use on a desktop PC with a tower case.

Mini Mouse 30 May 2009
By Ant
Good little mouse. Bought this, like another reviewer, for my Acer as not that keen on the trackpad and its nicely small to store. Very happy with it - works great on the arm of a chair, my trouser leg or a newspaper. It doesn't like my glass-topped coffee table though. No trouble with speed or accuracy. Initially felt strange after using a full-size wheel mouse, but soon got used to it once I held it more with fingers than in my palm. Very happy with it.
