Great Mouse!

Pros: Covers the whole screen using VERY little space, Accurate and Fast

Cons: None, Except that others wrote bad reviews on some websites

Review: Great little mouse. One charge will last months! I read the other reviews and the statement that it is 'too heavy' is insane. It is nice to have that added weight of internal batteries when you are using it on a bare surface with no resistance like a mousepad. It weighs next to nothing, but still more than a hollow rubber ball mouse--which is a good thing. Can cover the whole screen in very limited space situations. very accurate and yes it does not 'see around corners' like I read in another review. When are you going around a corner while using a mouse witha notebook? NEVER! Its not a desktop mouse.

Great mouse, easy to use with soft button clicks.

Pros: I have used this mouse for about 2 weeks and love it. I like the fact it goes to sleep during non use and wakes up at the click of any button. The flashing LED light on the transmitted is great, it shows mouse movement. I kinda like these little features.

Cons: Can not be charged through USB cable on cradle, even though it connects to the USB port you still need an AC Adapter to plug it in. Would have been nice to have a 100-240 volt adapter.

Too heavy, too flashy

Pros: Well, the obvious, not having a wire attached to it.

Cons: Having to carry 2 AA batteries inside, the mouse is big and heavy. After half hour of use my hand is tired and painful. To make things worse, the RF receptor attached to the USB port, that is on the right side of my new notebook, flashes at every mouse mo
