A Solid Wireless Mouse

I don't relate to any of the negative reviews on here. I found that the mouse was very easy to set up and it works just as well as my regular corded mouse. Once the mouse is configured to your Bluetooth adapter, you never have to do anything again; the adapter will detect it when the power is on.

It is nice and compact and is very comfortable for long time use. I have been using it for a few weeks now, and the batteries it came with are still going strong. I can't really find a negative thing to say about the mouse.

It would have been nice if it included a carrying case, but that's a minor inconvenience.

EHHH

It says five stars, but I'm giving it three. I got this mouse in September (now it's December, so I have had it for 3 months. I am writing this because my opinion of the mouse has changed since the review I wrote before (below). Recently, the mouse just sucks. It barely works. And it's not the batteries. But what might be contributing to it is my Dell Inspiron 1521. The built-in Bluetooth is not always great at detecting the mouse. When it does work, it's alright. But on the whole it's just a huge hassle. I don't recommend it nor do I recommend Dell laptops. Here is my previous review:

This is an absolutely excellent mouse. However, it's performance seems to be very sensitive to your specific system and use. I bought this for my new Dell Inspiron 1521, which has a duel-core processor and came Bluetooth enabled. I wanted something small, completely cordless and plug free just to avoid using the touchpad. For my purposes it's perfect, as there is enough processor power for it and I'm not running any processor intensive media editing programs or what have you.

Physically, the mouse is of good quality. It feels comfortable in the hand and is not flimsy. I love the design as well. Perhaps the only downside is that it doesn't come with a USB recharger. As for battery life, I have only owned it for about 2 weeks so it's difficult to tell. (It hasn't died yet, so that's a good sign).

Performance-wise:
-The tracking is precise, random mouse drifting occurs occasionally but not significantly more than with the plug in ball tracker mouses. I love that I don't have to move the mouse a lot to get the cursor from one side of the screen to another. It's much better than those traditional ones that you'd have to pull all the way off your mousepad before it got you where you wanted it to go. Is that what the DPI indicates? Others expressed their concerns about gaming, but I don't see anything inhibiting about this mouse. It's fast and accurate.

-pairing was very easy. At first I didn't know how to make the mouse recognizable after waking it up and I was frustrated at having to pair it every time I wanted to use it, or wait 15 minutes for it to suddenly become recognized. But after reading some reviews I learned all I had to do was click it and it woke up again, instantly recognized by the PC. It seems that the method varies between computers, however.

The other aspect I love is being able to use it on any surface. Sometimes I like to use it on my knee or in a bowl of spaghetti, which is just great!

I highly recommend this to those with newer and more powerful systems and
looking for something simple and convenient of good quality. And the current prices listed here are great; it's an amazing deal.

Great mouse for the price

I ordered this mouse to use with my Powerbook four years ago. I have now used it with three computers total and it has finally bitten the dust. A part snapped inside of it after being dropped a few too many times. For $30, this is a great mouse.

Works as promised depending on computer

The first Kensington Bluetooth mouse was a gift for my wife. After seeing how well her laptop worked, I bought one for myself.
First let me say that her mouse works perfectly with her Sony Viao laptop computer. At first she made the mistake of turning off the mouse power. Its far simpler and only requires that one power down the laptop. When the computer shuts off, the mouse goes into hibernation. When the computer turns on, it start broadcasting the bluetooth signal. . .one only has wait for the computer for a second or two, then tap the mouse button which wakes up the mouse. The mouse then takes a second to find the bluetooth signal and its good to go.

Its comfortable to the hand and the batteries last so long that I don't worry about them. . .it sends a screen message when battery life is at 5 percent.

I was worried about getting second bluetooth mouse and operating both computers within range of each other. They work perfectly without any cross over signal.

There is a problem with the laptop however. The mouse works fine for a while, sometimes a long while, but the MY laptop (a Lenovo) has a signal problem and possibly a directional antenna. The mouse doesn't get the laptop signal and it acts jumpy if held in a certain area near the laptop. Sometimes the mouse looses signal. . .the mouse is still active, but the laptop somehow fails to keep up. There are work arounds for the problem but it means a less than acceptable performance from the mouse.

My suggestion is to make sure that you have a good return policy before purchasing this mouse. If your laptop has a signal problem, then you may experience problems. In which case I would return the mouse and forget about a bluetooth mouse for the computer.
