Rating: - Perfect for Laptops
I have several of these one for each of my laptops. The size is perfect for carrying around. I never got used to using the touchpad. This item is so small I can use the wristrest on most laptops. Like most lasers it doesn't need a mousepad. I find it also works well just by using a section of the sofa while sitting on it.
Pro: very small, comes with drawstring storage bag, retractable cord
Con: small size may take getting used to for some
Rating: - Poor performance right out of the package
The main problem is the scroll wheel. Its operation is very 'iffy'. It will scroll sometimes, for a bit, then stop and sometimes even bounce the page (i.e. when scrolling down it will suddenly reverse direction for a second like a ball hitting the floor).

Also, the mouse click button is not smooth at all. Not natural feeling. Difficult. ... Read More
Rating: - Not So Good
I have owned two of these mice now and I've had to replace them both. On the latest one, the left click button is no longer working. Which is very frustrating! It works a little if I press it really hard, but a double-click will not work.

I'm not talking about arthritic shooting pain, but annoying discomfort. If all you're looking for is something for occasional use on an airplane or on road trips, this does the job.
Rating: - Great mouse ... but reliability a question
These mice are by far the smallest yet easiest to use when it comes to mini travel mice. Even for it's small size, it has a very natural feel. I have large hands and still find this mouse comfortable to use. My computer instantly recognizes the mouse without any drivers, and when I mean instantly, I mean INSTANTLY. The only problem I've had with these mice is the reliability of them. I've gone through a couple already, each lasting only 6 - 12 months. In both cases, the left mouse button stopped working ...
