Customer Reviews

This Kensington "Mouse-in-a-Box" is a very basic, but perfectly functional optical mouse that also happens to be a great value. We needed a "no frills" mouse for my mother to use and this fit the bill perfectly. Here are my observations:
Pros -
+ Comfortable; this is a full sized mouse that feels "right" in the hand
+ Plug-and-Play; no software needed or supplied, just connected to the USB port and Windows did the rest
+ Long Cord; it is at least 5' long, allowing it easily reach anywhere on the desk
+ Good Tracking; works well on every surface I tested it on, including a generic mouse mat, a wood desktop, and my chair armrest
+ Scroll Wheel; works well for scanning through web pages and long documents
Misc -
Very Light; I would like it to have a little more mass, but it is likely a matter of personal preference
Minimal Packaging; came in small box containing the mouse protected in a bubble bag and a little warranty card, no plastic clam shell to cut open
While this might be too basic for some users, it is just right for our needs!
Recommended!

My Belkin optical mouse finally quit on me, I think I used the left button way too much playing Diner Dash. I'd never heard of the Kensington brand before now, but decided to give it a try because of the cheap price and 5 year warranty.
It has a 5 foot cord, attaches via USB port, definitely easy plug and play hookup - I'm running Vista. I have small hands and this feels comfortable. The buttons and scroll wheel work as expected as far as a basic mouse.
But if you are wanting to use it for games, even a game as basic as Solitaire, or even Slingo, find something else. This mouse is not responsive enough, and the left button starts feeling mushy after a week of using it.
