highly recommended

Doesn't work on some standard desktops

My main gripe about this mouse is that it is somewhat picky about what surfaces it will work with. I have other optical mice that work fine on my standard grey desk; however, the Kensington Optical Pocketmouse just won't work on that surface. It will work on mousepads and many wood surfaces, however. It's a decent mouse otherwise, but I expect more versatility from a device designed for travel.

Good Value on a Travel Mouse for Notebook Users

I bought this mouse for my PowerBook, primarily for use when away from home. For my large hands, I have traditionally preferred large mice, such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and the (no longer available) full-size Logitech MouseMan series. However, I do find this mouse to be perfectly acceptable, especially given its portable dimensions. For me, it is much more comfortable than the slightly smaller, but more expensive Pocket Mouse SE (72118). It is comfortable enough that when I get home, I pull it out of its included stuff sack and plug it into my Kensington Keyboard-in-a-Box (64350) which serves as a two-port USB hub when plugged into my PowerBook. Thus, it also makes a reasonable compact desktop mouse.

In terms of performance, it has worked on any reasonable surface. I have had no problem using it on a variety of surfaces including solid-wood desks, laminate desks, standard mouse pads, a deeply textured couch, jeans, and the comforter on my bed. The only problematic surfaces have been a shiny metal file cabinet top and a holographic mouse pad, but this is to be expected. For the price I can't complain.

As far as compatibility is concerned, I have had no problems with my Mac running OS X (10.3) or my PC running Windows XP Professional. No driver installation was required for either system.

I'd highly recommend this as carry-along mouse for most portable computer users.

I used to have problem with this mouse for the first year: it won't work on the light color mouse pad, the point is always un-steable,..... just SO Hard to control! We tried to install the driver, clean the exterior, change the mouse pad with dark color background..... It just won't work. My husband gave one last try by downloading the driver from their web site, and, this time, it WORKS!! My problem solved! This mouse has been like a pro ever since!! Steable, Sharp, and easy to control!

Works great and small too

I bought one of these a couple of years back and I've been using it ever since with no problems at all. Initially it was just for travelling, however recently I had gotten quite sick of the 1-button mouse on my Mac so I began using this instead. It's a little bit small in the hand, but to be honest you soon get used to it. What I like is that its a fully functional and usable mouse in about 2/3 space of a normal mouse. The optics are fine and the wheel still rolls after all this time. Lesser mice have given up the ghost long before this one, with loose wires or stuck wheels being the main cause.

I have no idea what the device drivers are like. Most operating systems including XP, Mac & Linux all support wheel devices adequately out of the box. If you're one of those people who likes cursor trails, reprogrammable buttons, or other stuff that some drivers add I suggest you check out the Kensington website to see what you get.
