I am very particular about my input devices. I normally use a track ball. I changed jobs and now travel 75% of the time. So I never found a good trackball that would fit into my travel gear well. So I was forced back to the drawing board and looking for a mouse.
I was particularly interested in this one because of the dark sensor which allows this mouse to work on pretty much any surface. I was skeptical but I decided to give it a try.
I have not found anything that this mouse does not work on. Glass tables, mirrors, couches, my pants, my bed, you name it and this thing just keeps on tracking with 100% accuracy.
I also would like to give it thumbs up for durability. It has been riding around in my backpack getting beat up day in and day out for over a year now, and it is showing no signs of abuse.
It also has great battery life. I am still on the original batteries that came with the unit over a year later. I am very good about sliding the cover over the sensor to the off position, but a years worth of use is pretty good in my book. It's still going strong.
I also like that the USB receiver is very small. I have not removed it from my laptop since I got it. It hasn't caught on anything and is very convenient to just fire up my laptop and slide the cover over my sensor and go right to work.
I had a Logitech mouse before and really liked it, but after a couple years worth of service it's right click button got funny (a common Logitech problem) and it made it next to unusable. It was always trying to activate the right click feature whether it was touched or not. I have been leary that this may happen again, but so far I have yet to have any problems.
This mouse also has a nice scroll wheel. It gives the option to click as it scrolls with small indents denoting that you scrolled, or you can press the wheel in and it allows for free spinning. This is nice in large documents. It's like turbo scrolling.
It also has two buttons on the side that fall nicely to your finger tips for advancing or backing up a page.
I honestly have not found anything I do not like about this mouse. I am still a little concerned the Logitech click failure will rear it's ugly head, but even if it did I would buy this mouse again I think.
Accurate, responsive, nice small USB receiver, works anywhere, and a battery miser. What's not to like!
