"Great design and comfort." on by smichaelz1
Pros: Stylish and great value.
Cons: Slim design takes some getting used to.
Summary: Innovative design, great purchase price, and is the most comfortable for my hands than any other mouse that I have used before. I bought it from Best Buy for twenty one dollars which is a great value. Overall, I am completely satisfied with it as a replacement for my laptop.

"this mouse has everything expect Comfort." on by AGandikal
Pros: Plug and play, Usb cable stored in mouse. wireless. works with mac
Cons: its not comfortable
Summary: i saw this mouse and cnet gave it a good review and found it for 20.00 at best buy, and i thought that it wouldnt be that uncomfortable but it was. my hands are average sized (at most) and it just strains them too much. im going to return it but i wish it was more comfortable because this mouse has everything.
Updated
its not that uncomfortable after all. but still not comfy. its a good mouse and if you find it for 20 buy it. oh for a travel mouse its perfect so don't second guess it. -
"Great mouse, until it breaks" on by ztrg
Pros: It's extremely portable, and the design actually feels reasonably comfortable once you get used to it. Battery life is decent (3-4 months with light-medium usage), and the wired option is a great back up.
Cons: The magnets that hold the mouse together fell off after about a year (usage of a few times a week for about an hour at a time).
Summary: It's an awesome mouse until the magnets fall off. I'm not sure if that's just bad luck or common, but I'm looking for a replacement now. Without the magnets the top half of the mouse falls off almost whenever you move it, although the mouse still works.

"Poorly engineered hardware" on by sipher27
Pros: Small, slim, easy to fit, very comfortable
ability to use wired power if batteries are deadCons: melty rubber
bad click button
a usb casing that breaks after so many uses (the usb casing head comes off the actual circuit part)
magnets on the actual mouse falls out of their holes easily
bad rangeSummary: I bought three of these mices at different times, my first one had this issue of having the rubber on the mousewheel and the grip melt on me, as in the rubber on the mousewheel start to tear apart while the rubber where my thumb is deformed and smeared out, which created in very uncomfortable gripping scrolling and holding
The other issue, the click mechanism which consists of a deformable plastic is very easy to break since it hooks into a little slot on the frame, if the plastic end gets broken, the plastic has trouble returning to its original position making clicking impossible or very difficult.
The USB sensor is horrendous, the shiny head encasing the circuit part of the sensor actually breaks off the actual mouse itself leaving you with a stick and a circuit board on the end that you cant stick anything into, could be fixed with superglue but its a hassle and you risk breaking the circuit
magnets on both the body and the housing hold the mouse in one piece, sounds like a good idea until the magnets (which is at 3 holes in the housing and 3 corresponding holes in the body) from the body becomes detached and ends up sticking onto the housing magnets, what the means is when you pick up the mouse, your housing detaches from the body very easily
lastly, the range sucks, it wont work more than 3 feet away and it works on very few surfaces
Both mices have suffered these problems and i bought them about 8 months apart, thinking they were mainly due to just a isolated product incident. My third and last mice just ended up dying for no apparent reason after developing the melty rubber and usb problems -
"Great design but material issues" on by eliasgarza
Pros: Had it for about a year and it's by far the best portable mouse experience i ever had, it has a nice design and it is very comfortable too, the wired option is very useful when running out of battery, and very slim so it don't make a bulk in the case
Cons: The rubber at the edge, and at the scroll whell altough it gave a great grip, doesn't resist any kind of heat, it literally melts, making the mouse look deform and awful and the scollwhell to stop working, even the very hand heat melted it down.
Summary: i loved my mouse, but the melted rubber thing finally makes my mouse to look like the frankestain-mouse, and the scroll wheel stop working. now i am getting an microssoft arc mouse, let's see....
If kensington replace the rubber for another material that resist heat, then this would be just perfect.
