Pros: great tracking, not too small or too big, long battery life

Cons: all i can think of is the price, but that's not too bad

I bought this mouse for $40 @ Office Depot, and it surprised me with how well it performed. I've used other wireless mice by logitech and they tracked horrible and skipped a lot as if there was RF interferrence, but no such problems with this mo...del. I was worried about battery life, but normal AAs with normal usage seem to last 3-4 months! I highly recommend the Energizer E-squared Titanium Alkaline if you can find them. Best AAs I've ever seen. It appears to have an auto off feature, so if you leave your workstation for a few minutes or over night, your batteries won't drain. Don't forget to turn it off when you travel though. I also find this mouse to be a great size or laptop users. It's not too small to where you can only grip it with 3 fingers, but it's not nearly as big as a normal PC mouse. Contours to my big hand nicely. Range is also great too, up to 6-8 feet. I can't read my screen from that far so more than strong enough RF signal. The little carrying zipper pouch is nice too. Keeps the infrared eye and USB reciever safe from scratches or other damage in your accessory pocket. would be nice if it was fitted to the mouse a little better but it is still very good. I usually never have to press the connect button except for the very first time I used it. After installation, as soon as the reciever is plugged in and the mouse is on, you're good. Read more Less
