notebook mice

I'm taking mine back. It feels pretty good and has a nice case, but stops communicating with the receiver frequently. When the computer starts up it doesn't recognize the mouse. There is a button at the bottom of the mouse which must be pushed to get the USB adapter to recognize the mouse. The button is too small to press by hand. So, MUST have a pen or pencil to push it EVERY time you start up your laptop. A real pain! You also have to push the button within a reasonable time on the USB adapter. Why should you have to do any button pushing at all. Poor design results in a less that useful product. Pay a little more and get a better wireless laptop mouse.

Well, this mouse didn't last long at my house. First, you have to charge the mouse for 8 hours before first use. Ok, I hooked that up. It worked for about 5 minutes before the green light (indicating that it is charging) starting flashing. Turns out the charger is broken. One of the contacts stopped making contact. Ok, this mouse is going back to the store. It is a standard sized mouse. The buttons seem ok, but since it never charged up, I can't say much more. Don't buy it.

When I turn the computer on I have to intiate the mouse, push and hold the button on the USB Connector. Then I have to turn the mouse over and do the same (You need a sharp object since the button is small and recessed). This also has to be done when the computer goes to sleep. It is much easier to use the touch pad. I am returning the item, even though I will have to pay shipping.
