This Kensington optical mouse works right out of the box, with long-lasting reliability that is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty. This unit requires a PC running Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP, or a Macintosh running Mac OS X or later.

This item is a mini mouse. It is small, so it is fragile.
As for the vendor, the item did reach us on time and in a timely manner. We would buy from this supplier again. |

I was never a fan of laptop' touch pad and that is the reason why I purchased this mouse. Like most other people said: its is very small and will require sometime to adjust to. However, once you get use to it, it become very handy.
The material was cheap plastic, it look nice and all, but you can tell the quality wasn't there when you hold the mouse. Typical 3 buttons mouse. It does what required, reasonable response time for a mini mouse at this price.
The retractable cord does get snagged up occasionally but other than that, the little guy work fine. |

Kensington support is not the greatest. The driver for this product and many others was not available via their website when I checked today due to what appears to be a programming error on the Kensington site.
In order to use the Pocket Mouse Mini with Windows 7, Microsoft refers you to the support page for the product. Only problem is the Kensington website doesn't work. So, at least until this is fixed, users can't upgrade unless they have an old installation disk. Or they can, but they just can't use this mouse.
Otherwise, I have no complaints with the quality or the concept. I assume the boxed, new mouse comes with a working driver, but beware of support issues down the road. |

I've been using this mouse for a few years now, and I won't use a laptop without it. If you are a person who can't stand laptop touchpads but isn't an intuitive keyboard user, this is the mouse for you. Once I got used to the small size, I realized I preferred it immensely over a bigger mouse. I often get, "Wow, what a cute little mouse!" comments, but it's not just cute, it's reliable and tough. I've taken it on trips, dropped it a thousand times, had it jammed in the bottom of bags with a heavy laptop on top of it, and it survives.
The retractable cord is not perfect. It likes to get twisted up, but it's lasted literally years under daily use. And the finish on the thumb-side of the mouse has slowly worn away until I can look into the mouse's inner workings. It's no longer as pretty, but it still works.
And this is important. This is the first mouse I've had that has lasted longer than 2 years with my... um... brutal use (I tend to slam my mouse around, and drop it when I unplug and stash it, and... well, no other mouse has ever survived this long).
In any case, I plan to get another one. If the one I currently have ever finally dies, which may take awhile. It's still going strong. |

| When people see it for the first time I've heard "That's the smallest mouse I've ever seen!" but it hasn't bothered me. I don't travel with my laptop (it lives in my office), but for daily office use I can speak to its durability. As others say, the tracking problems are non-existant with a mouse pad; my only difficulties have been when trying to use it on something shiny or uneven (like paper with a crease). It plugs into my Windows XP laptop or the office Mac without blinking. Its being retractable is by far its best feature: I will never go back to a long tangled cord again. |
