Rating: - The Best Portable mouse ever!
The wireless signal is great, it does take some getting use to how light it is. It is also sensitive so you may want to adjust that in the control panel. Also there is a strange glitch I've experienced under vista32 where the wheel will not scroll in explorer when the receiver is left plugged in while waking the PC up from hibernation.
Also the mouse is "off" while folded, you cant use it until it is unfolded. Other than that it is very comfortable and feels natural.
Rating: - Nice idea, poor quality build
This is a great idea in several ways. It's elegant, folds compactly, and the wireless works flawlessly. Unfortunately, as I have read elsewhere, the scroll wheel stopped working within 2 weeks. This seems to be a known weakness of this product. For the $40 to $60 this usually sells for, such a poor quality key component is inexcusable. I'd really like this if it were built better. I have had $3 mice that lasted longer. Disappointed that MS would put their name on such a shoddy product.
Rating: - I WANTED to like this!
Bought it recently and surprisingly within 60 days the scroll wheel stopped functioning. Broken, no more obnoxious clicking sound! As neat as it sounds, Microsoft has a quality problem. Stay away until they fix it.
Rating: - Right in a lot of ways

The mouse feels full sized when opened, but takes little space when folded up. It uses the tiny usb transciever with no wire or "pod" extending from the part that plugs into the computer. No direct line of sight necessary.
The scroll seems good, not quite as high quality as the Explorer ... Read More
Rating: - Great Idea
Great idea! Wish I had thought of this. It's really a full-size mouse that folds to the size of mini mouse. There's a small button near the right side where your thumb goes to page back. I'm 6' tall and 290lbs and my big thumbs never hit this button by accident. The scroll button is smoth and the right and left click buttons are standard plus the USB module is magnetized to the inside flap that folds; this makes it virtually impossible to lose when you have to store it. I accidentally ordered the ... Read More
